May 2018 Meetup

For the Monday, May 14th meetup we will welcome Raymond Ullery back for a full session to provide more insights into migrating a large scale healthcare solution to Azure. You may have seen Raymond present a brief version of this at the March lightning talks. There was a lot of interest in this topic at that time, and we’re thrilled Raymond can join us in May for a more involved session.

Please RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/Central-Ohio-Azure/events/wvzvqlyxhbsb/. RSVP’ing will help us with logistics, especially getting food and drinks from our most excellent sponsors!

Get your parking ticket at the gate, then bring that to the Cardinal office, and put a voucher sticker on it.
2) The second parking option is the *public* Nationwide Insurance garage, right behind Nationwide Insurance, on Front St. Note that there are two garage entrances there. The north entrance (closest to Nationwide Blvd.) is for employees only. The south entrance is public parking — enter there. If a parking attendant says there’s a special event, and asks for money up front, just tell them you’re with Cardinal Solutions, and you need to pull a ticket that we can voucher. Bring the ticket to the office and put a voucher sticker on it.

Examination of Azure Migration and Automation Solution for a Large Security Focused and Highly Scalable Healthcare Application.

Abstract:
An in-depth review of the Azure migration strategy and automation implementation for a HIPAA-compliant healthcare broker. The company’s application is a SaaS solution that facilitates collaboration between healthcare providers and recipients.
