CASE STUDY
T
radebridge is the leading South
African value-added transaction
switch, providing solutions to
enable immediate, secure and reliable
messaging between organisations
that support financial transactions.
The company consists of three group
members: Healthbridge, Sureswipe and
DCM Group.
Through a powerful range of products
and services that Tradebridge has
pioneered, it has saved the South African
healthcare industry over R1 billion
($77M) a year in operational efficiencies.
There are over 5,000 medical
practitioners (GPs, dentists,
optometrists, specialists and auxiliaries)
on the company’s books countrywide.
Through its sophisticated medical
information-exchange services, it is also
integrated with hospitals, pathology
laboratories, radiologists and medical
aids. The company processes more than
R30 billion ($2B) of transactions in real
time every year.
CHALLENGE: Cloud migration
affects performance
Until recently, Tradebridge relied
on a traditional client-server set up,
“We used to have
a file server,
Exchange server
and project server
all of which were
dependent on
the stable supply
of electricity.
As a result, we
experienced
occasional
downtime.”
