Nonprofit Healthcare System Endpoint Modernization Case Study

This case study outlines the modernization of 642 endpoints for a rural nonprofit healthcare system in New England. The initiative aimed to enhance security and operational efficiency without incurring a significant capital expense. The project was executed through a controlled, phased rollout that minimized disruption to clinical and administrative staff across multiple locations. Key challenges included aging endpoints that could not support Windows 11 requirements, the need for modern security measures, and the absence of budget for a large capital purchase. The solution involved embedding Blue Mantis into the client's procurement and planning processes, linking endpoint modernization to security outcomes and licensing governance. The implementation standardized on HP Inc. devices with Intel processors, rolled out in quarterly phases to ensure continuity. Additionally, flexible leasing options were utilized to shift spending from capital expenditures to operational expenditures, while Microsoft licensing management was integrated to enhance visibility and simplify future planning.
