Icon Group provides all aspects of cancer care , including medical oncology , radiation oncology , haematology , research , pharmacy and chemotherapy compounding to deliver end-to-end service for patients . The group has long relied on flexible and innovative technology to deliver patient care , however , according to Icon ’ s Head of IT Infrastructure , Mark Holmes , a recent expansion into Singapore , Mainland China , Hong Kong and New Zealand necessitated the move to a secure and scalable environment .
" We knew we wanted to be on Azure , not only to ensure Disaster Recovery and service availability across multiple geographical locations , but to navigate the heavily regulated pharmacy industry ," he said . " We needed a partner with expertise , one who had strong experience in delivering a largescale project ."
Icon Group selected Macquarie – its long-term provider of telecommunications and networking – to facilitate migration to an Azure environment and provide ongoing architecture , network , security and consumption reviews .
Holmes said the team ’ s expertise played a crucial part in ensuring the migration went smoothly despite ongoing COVID-19 lockdown periods resulting in the design , delivery and management occurring remotely .
