Healthcare organizations depend on always-on, highly secure systems to deliver life-saving services at scale. In this session, learn how McKesson, one of the largest healthcare distributors in the U.S., executed one of the largest SAP migrations ever completed to a hyperscale cloud - moving hundreds of servers and petabytes of data to Microsoft Azure in under four months. Facing end-of-support for on-premise hardware, McKesson accelerated its cloud timeline while maintaining zero disruption to patient care, pharmacy operations, or supply chain continuity.

Attendees will gain insight into the migration strategy that balanced speed with uncompromising security and compliance, including automated failover, high-availability architecture, and rigorous testing. The transformation delivered 30–40% SAP performance improvements, enhanced reliability, reduced infrastructure costs, and unlocked advanced capabilities such as AI-driven analytics and real-time scalability. This session goes beyond technical execution to highlight how cloud modernization can establish a future-ready foundation for innovation in highly regulated industries like healthcare.
