Introduced QA methodology across multiple teams, improving quality system-wide.
Added Scrum Master roles, accelerating planning and efficiency.
Ongoing partnership: 32+ engineers embedded across Athenahealth’s products.
Highlights / Intro
Athena health is one of the largest healthcare software providers in the U.S., serving hospitals and clinics with cloud-based solutions for EHR, patient engagement, revenue cycle, and population health.
unosquare’s engineers are fully embedded within Athena’s product teams, working inside their culture and processes to boost delivery speed, quality, and scalability.
Challenge
Athena needed to modernize fast while keeping mission-critical systems stable. Their challenges included:
Legacy platforms slowing adoption and efficiency.
Lack of QA roles and methodology across teams.
No dedicated Scrum Masters to drive agile planning.
Solution
unosquare embedded directly into Athena’s environment to deliver immediate impact:
Team
32 Software Engineers, 1 QA Lead, 3 Scrum Masters.
Tech Stack
Java, .NET, React, Perl, JS/JQuery, Shell Script, Oracle, AWS, Kubernetes, Azure, multiple cloud microservices.
We designed and rolled out a QA methodology now adopted across teams, introduced Scrum Masters to accelerate agile planning, and led the delivery of a new GMC replacement platform, launched on time with zero critical bugs.
Behind the scenes, our Centers of Excellence reinforced every layer of delivery: QA enforced automation and release reliability, Cloud enabled seamless AWS and Azure migrations with scalability built in, Data & Analytics safeguarded integrity and traceability across patient systems, and Business Strategy kept modernization priorities aligned without disrupting care.
The result: modernization with speed, stability, and scale, driven by engineering muscle and guided by specialized expertise.
