GBS Corporation (GBS) is a leading information and healthcare solutions provider based in Ohio. GBS has partnered with Ark for nearly ten years to streamline operations and drive success for healthcare organizations nationwide. Leveraging Ark’s robust infrastructure, GBS has enhanced reliability, redundancy and performance for its clients, enabling the provider to focus on delivering exceptional patient care. From the first major migration for one of GBS’s largest clients to fast-tracking a healthcare organization’s migration after a ransomware attack, the relationship between Ark and GBS has been a catalyst for innovation, dynamic collaboration and strategic problem-solving in the healthcare technology space.
One of GBS’s largest clients needed to reevaluate its technology strategy to meet increasing demands for speed and power.
GBS knew the client needed an infrastructure partner that could provide the reliability, redundancy, connectivity and power necessary while securing its environment and critical data. While the partnership between Ark and GBS was still in the early stages, GBS recognized that ark was the game-changer it needed—and knew our team could deliver exceptional results for this client.
GBS invited Ark’s engineers to Ohio to assess its entire client base, technology stack and infrastructure demands, effectively kicking off the partnership’s first large-scale project.
Together, our teams outlined the infrastructure setup, including virtual servers, connectivity and the migration into Ark’s data center. Our team remained focused on finding ways to keep the services and infrastructure as affordable as possible without sacrificing the reliability, quality and speed the client needed.
After the initial implementation, the client saw more than a 50% increase in provider efficiency over time—and after the first 30 days, the client saw an additional 30% increase.
The strategic partnership between Ark and GBS has been a driving force behind the digital transformation and operational excellence of healthcare organizations across the nation. By combining Ark’s robust, compliant infrastructure with GBS’s innovative healthcare solutions, the two companies have created a powerful foundation for advancing patient care and organizational efficiency.
GBS now has clients housed in every SOC 1 and SOC 2 Ark data center, appreciating the competitive advantage offered by our consistent infrastructure and the cybersecurity excellence demonstrated across all of our facilities. Ark has invested significant time, effort and capital to ensure that our data centers meet the rigorous healthcare compliance regulations, obtaining certifications such as HIPAA, PCI and HITRUST and keeping close tabs on the industry’s pulse so we can respond quickly as standards change.
The success of Ark’s partnership with GBS can largely be attributed to the people working behind the scenes. GBS recognizes Ark’s commitment to understanding and exceeding industry standards and values Ark’s focus on keeping our partners in the know about the latest trends and best practices. GBS also witnessed the high level of involvement that Ark’s executives possess—our leadership team is deeply involved in customer engagements, listening closely and helping to design and implement solutions that drive innovation and excellence. Through the partnership’s collaborative approach, technical expertise and unwavering dedication to client success, Ark and GBS are poised to help healthcare providers navigate the challenges of today and seize the opportunities of tomorrow.
