Memorial Healthcare System (MHS), a special tax district located in Hollywood, is seeking vendors for services to migrate Epic from on-premises to Azure, including the configuration of an Epic disaster recovery environment in Azure.

According to the RFP, proposals should cover final user acceptance testing, MHS team training, support and comprehensive migration documentation.

Other requirements include:
  • Migration planning: Develop a comprehensive plan for migrating the non-production Epic instance to Azure, including timelines, risk management and testing to address latency issues
  • Ancillary application rationalization: Identify and rationalize non-Epic ancillary applications that need to migrate alongside Epic for both DR and non-production environments
  • Collaboration with MHS: Work with MHS to estimate annual resource consumption in Azure and ensure their involvement in environment configuration and deployment templates
  • Migration strategy execution: Execute the migration plan, implementing a failover process for seamless transitions between on-premises and Azure environments
  • Testing and validation: Conduct rigorous testing to validate data integrity, application performance and system functionality in the Microsoft cloud environment
More detailed information about RFP No. 51-2024/FS-0-2024 can be found online. Proposals should be submitted by Oct. 8 at 12 p.m.
