Emory shifts 1.3M annual imaging exams to Sectra cloud

The 11-hospital Georgia academic health system has moved its enterprise imaging IT infrastructure to Sectra’s fully managed cloud service under a 5-year agreement.

Emory Healthcare has completed its move from on-premises enterprise imaging IT infrastructure to Sectra One Cloud, according to Sectra.

The Georgia academic health system includes 11 hospitals, the Emory Clinic, and more than 250 provider locations. Sectra said the migration covers a contracted imaging examination volume averaging more than 1.3M exams per year.

A 5-year Sectra One Cloud contract was signed during Sectra’s 2024/2025 fiscal year. Emory Healthcare has been a Sectra customer since 2021.

Under the cloud model, Sectra takes responsibility for infrastructure, maintenance, monitoring, optimization, and continuous upgrades. The vendor said the shift is intended to reduce workload for Emory’s local IT teams while supporting high availability, performance, and secure operations.

Sectra One Cloud is the company’s fully managed enterprise imaging software-as-a-service offering. Sectra’s product information says the service includes operations and maintenance, service-level assurance, resilience and disaster recovery procedures, vulnerability management, and lifecycle management.

Sectra described the Emory project as its first U.S. cloud migration. The company’s enterprise imaging platform uses a vendor-neutral archive at its core and is designed to support multiple imaging specialties, according to Sectra.
