The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) needed a new IT infrastructure partner as its systems were reaching end of life. It chose to outsource its entire IT infrastructure to Sungard AS due to Sungard's ability to provide a complete managed service and ensure high availability of critical systems. This enabled the RCPI to focus on its core mission of training healthcare professionals without worrying about managing its own infrastructure. Sungard AS implemented a private cloud solution that provides scalability, predictable costs, and reduces risk to the RCPI's reputation from system outages.

The rise in big data, as well as the looming impact of the Internet of Things (IoT), has highlighted how different data is today than a decade ago, from everything from the gathering sources to usage of information. With the data revolution, enterprises are able to take data generated from people and machines to turn into insight that may ultimately refine how they operate, as well as allow them to innovate and solve complex industry issues.
For enterprises looking to capitalize on the data growth, they need to ensure that not only is there enough power to meet computing demands, but that it’s reliable, renewable, energy-efficient and cost effective.
This presentation will explore how Verne Global and Datapipe are working together to enable enterprises to better their business decisions with the help of data. Through firsthand knowledge, the session will highlight what companies must do to ensure sufficient infrastructure and computing capabilities are in place as they look towards future innovation.

Ensuring Resilience: Robust Backup Strategies for the Oil and Gas Secto
RCPI Case Study
1. 1 / 2
Business challenge
Thousands of doctors and other
healthcare professionals worldwide
rely on the Royal College of Physicians
of Ireland (RCPI) for training and
accreditation. With its IT infrastructure
reaching end of life, the organisation
needed to find a technology partner
it could rely on to provide the reliable
systems on which so many depend.
Business challenge
• Dual-site private cloud
• Managed Services.
“Sungard AS’s proposal
was the only one to
offer a complete end-to-
end service: everything
from backup, recovery
and servers to firewalls,
networking, security
and storage – the
whole package.”
Adrian Rath,
ICT Manager,
RCPI
CLOUD SERVICES
Sungard AS has the right
prescription for RCPI’s
IT Infrastructure
RCPI recognised that it needed
greater reliability and scalability, and
with its IT infrastructure nearing the
end of its life, it explored the available
options. The organisation quickly
realised that building an in-house
capability would be both costly and
impractical. Its three historic offices
in the heart of Dublin city centre were
unsuitable to house sophisticated
IT systems so choosing this route
would involve investing heavily in
new buildings and equipment.
Instead, RCPI opted to outsource its
entire IT infrastructure to a specialist
technology provider. Adrian Rath,
ICT Manager for RCPI, explains,
“We needed to safeguard availability
of our systems but we didn’t have the
physical space, data centre facilities
or money necessary to do it properly.
So we decided to buy our IT as
a service from a well-regarded
provider of those services.”
The systems to be outsourced not only
support RCPI’s online presence but
also all of the organisation’s back
office systems such as finance and HR.
It would be a huge IT transformation
project in which resilience was
all-important. Consequently, while
the RCPI knew of Sungard Availability
Services by reputation, it took the
decision to go to competitive tender
to find the most ‘economically
advantageous’ supplier. This
ultimately proved to be Sungard AS.
Although value for money was the
overriding factor, Adrian Rath reveals,
“Sungard AS’s proposal was the only
one to offer a complete end-to-end
service: everything from backup,
recovery and servers to firewalls,
networking, security and storage –
the whole package.”
The RCPI also took comfort in
Sungard AS’s track record stretching
back more than 30 years, and the
blue-chip name among its customers.
Any downtime would harm the College’s
reputation so the high availability
provided by the resilient Sungard AS
solution gives Adrian Rath and his
team immense peace of mind.
“We couldn’t function as a provider
of post-graduate medical education
if our systems were down for an
extended period and the damage to
our reputation would be incalculable,”
he says. “We have now reduced
the highest risk the organisation
was running from an IT operations
perspective.”
The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) is
a professional body that equips doctors and other
healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge
they need to care for their patients and to run safe
and efficient healthcare systems. Established in 1654,
RCPI harnesses the expertise of its members to improve
healthcare, whether it’s one-to-one with a patient or
on a national, strategic level.
