Every year, workers\u2019 compensation programs\u00a0help hundreds of thousands of people<\/a>\u00a0across the United States get back on their feet after workplace injuries. Before a company can pay out on a claim, adjusters must review the details and determine the appropriate level of compensation\u2014a process that typically requires many hours of manual work.<\/p>\n

To help insurers compensate claimants faster and more accurately, Acrometis has developed an innovative solution that automates up to 75 percent of the claims-handling process. By ingesting medical and insurance data using optical-character recognition (OCR) and analyzing the information using business logic and machine-learning algorithms, the solution can validate the facts of a case\u2014empowering adjusters to work more efficiently.<\/p>\n

After winning clients across the United States, Acrometis is setting its sights on further domestic and international growth. To provide the required levels of performance and availability, Acrometis decided to migrate its applications from a private cloud platform to\u00a0IBM Cloud bare metal servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur applications run compute-intensive OCR, data discovery and machine-learning processes, and the performance of our virtual machines is a critical factor in serving our clients effectively,\u201d explains Vinu Varghese, CSO\/CTO at Acrometis. \u201cIBM Cloud bare metal servers enable us to quickly spin up new environments with the RAM and CPU resources we need to meet those requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

To comply with its regulators, Acrometis must securely retain its data for several years after it processes a claim. With more than 50 TB of historical data to migrate in addition to its applications, the company wanted a secure and cost-effective approach to long-term storage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the sheer volume of data we needed to migrate, it simply wasn\u2019t practical to run the process over our network,\u201d explains Varghese. \u201cTo solve the challenge, we looked for a data migration and storage solution that could meet our requirements around speed, security and cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embracing a future-ready cloud platform<\/h3>\n

Acrometis decided to use\u00a0IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration<\/a>\u00a0to rapidly transfer its data to\u00a0IBM Cloud Object Storage<\/a>. By selecting the Cold Vault option in IBM Cloud Object Storage, Acrometis can store its rarely accessed data for years without sending costs soaring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were confident that transporting our data in a physical device would be an efficient way to perform our migration quickly, but one of our main concerns was effectively encrypting all of that data we\u2019d housed safely for many years,\u201d comments Varghese.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we heard about IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration, we immediately recognized that it was the optimal way to transfer our historical data\u2014not only because of its secure, encrypted method of storing the data, but also because it was a very reasonably priced offering. Once we received the IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration device, we simply connected it, transferred our data and then shipped it back to IBM. Within just two days, all our data was ready to access in IBM Cloud Object Storage.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cWe ordered IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration via the IBM website, and the entire process was seamless\u2014the team even took the time to show us how to log into the IBM Cloud Object Storage portal and retrieve our data. When we do historical data processing for our clients in the future, we will definitely use this process to migrate their data.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creating a launchpad for growth<\/h3>\n

Today, Acrometis uses the IBM Cloud to support the 60 virtual environments that drive its machine-learning offering and to store 50TB of historical data. By embracing an enterprise-class platform with a global data center footprint, the company is ready for international growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, spinning up a new environment for a client or a research and development project could take as long as five working days, but with IBM Cloud bare metal servers, we can typically provision what we need in less than a day\u201480 percent faster than before,\u201d says Varghese. \u201cThe combination of IBM Cloud bare metal servers and IBM Cloud Object Storage has contributed to a 35 percent reduction in our operational spend\u2014helping us keep the cost of our service competitive while protecting our margins.\u201d<\/p>\n

By using IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration, Acrometis predicts it will be able to significantly shorten its onboarding journeys for new clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had such a positive experience with IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration that we plan to use it to help new clients send us the data we need to set up their service,\u201d adds Varghese. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration could shorten our client onboarding process significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on the success of its IBM Cloud solutions, Acrometis is now planning ways to enhance its platform. The company is investigating ways to harness GPU resources to accelerate its machine-learning workloads, and to incorporate IBM Watson solutions into its services.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the reasons we chose the IBM Cloud is the access it gives us to IBM\u2019s artificial intelligence portfolio,\u201d concludes Varghese. \u201cOur architects are currently looking for opportunities to use IBM Watson APIs to enhance our offering. With IBM Cloud bare metal servers, IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration and IBM Cloud Object Storage, we have the platform we need to achieve our growth ambitions\u2014and we\u2019re very excited by what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
