Epic on AWS — PwC implementation and managed services

PwC’s Epic on AWS offering provides healthcare organizations with a holistic, integrated approach to implementing, migrating, and operating Epic on Amazon Web Services. As a trusted collaborator to over 86% of Fortune 500 companies—with 20 AWS competencies and deep healthcare expertise—PwC helps reduce risk by addressing architecture, resilience, security, and operations simultaneously, rather than solving each challenge in isolation. Our offering spans the overall lifecycle: from strategic assessment and cloud foundation design through go-live and long-term managed operations.

PwC establishes an Epic-ready AWS landing zone built for security, compliance, resilience, and repeatability. This governed foundation is automated and compliant from day one—featuring versioned infrastructure as code (IaC), least-privilege Identity and Access Management (IAM), encryption and centralized logging by default, automated backup and disaster recovery (DR) validation, and FinOps controls for ongoing cost enhancement. Our cloud foundation solution doubles landing zone deployment speed using standardized reference architectures and AWS Well-Architected aligned blueprints— tailored to Epic’s certified configuration constraints.

PwC’s delivery framework follows a structured implement-to-operate model aligned with Epic’s methodology, covering seven phases: pre-work, discovery, configuration, system readiness, pilot rollout, operate Epic on AWS, and customer expansion. Our “power of three” model can create a unified team across the client, PwC, and Epic, with clear accountability at each phase. PwC’s transformation risk insights methodology—with over 1,500 predefined risk and quality control criteria—supplements Epic’s approach to secure program delivery, technology, controls, and business outcomes throughout the engagement.

Migrating to Epic on AWS with PwC can help clients achieve up to 31% savings on infrastructure costs, a 69% reduction in unplanned downtime, and up to 50% automation of traditional IT tasks. PwC’s asset library includes over 100 automation assets, 70 IaC assets, over 100 AWS policies, and 150 FinOps scripts to help accelerate delivery and reduce operational toil. Whether your organization requires an overall migration from on-premises, a phased hybrid approach, or ongoing managed services after go-live, PwC meets you where you are and scales with you.
