Arrol believes that Microsoft´s cloud will provide another platform to operate business models, develop and deploy innovative solutions for markets. It will advance the country's ability to be a leader in the delivery of high quality, responsive and personalized health outcomes.

Ian McCrae, CEO of Orion Health, also affirmed the government's decision. He states it shows the Ministry of Health is progressive and leading the way on eHealth internationally.

“Orion Health is at the forefront of precision medicine, which will require the capture, storage, analysis and delivery of terabytes of data about an individual's health record, including genomic, device, microbiomic and environmental information,” says McCrae.

Gabe Rijpma, Senior Director of Health and Social Services at Microsoft says, “The local health tech sector has already been rapidly adopting the public cloud to develop futuristic solutions, but until the announcements this week have only been able to sell those solutions in international markets.”

Among other IT solution providers for Health Sector, Datacom, Stratos, Volpara, McKesson, and Intergen are using Microsoft's cloud services.
