Orizon Healthtech Modernizes Healthcare AI and Data Infrastructure in Brazil with Microsoft Azure
Updated Jun 13, 2026
Orizon, a Brazilian healthtech company part of the Bradesco Group, oversees a database with transactional information of nearly 16 million lives in the Brazilian supplementary healthcare system. The company processes more than 15 million healthcare transactions per month, including around 500,000 consultations daily, using big data and AI, mainly machine learning models. Orizon migrated from on-premises legacy systems to Microsoft Azure cloud platform solutions including Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, and Windows Virtual Desktop to modernize its data infrastructure. This migration enabled faster processing speeds, improved analytics capabilities, and enhanced operational flexibility to handle usage peaks and cost efficiencies. Additional tools implemented included Windows Virtual Desktop for remote worker integration, a data management tool compliant with Brazil's LGPD, and automated billing integrated with customer service platforms.
