Cepheid operates a portfolio of molecular diagnostic systems (GeneXpert and Xpert tests) spanning infectious disease, oncology, and genetic testing. The company is mid-migration to SAP S/4HANA while maintaining heavy infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and CI/CD across AWS and Azure — typical of a regulated medical-device firm scaling ops and compliance automation.
