What was the challenge?
Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust employs nearly 4,500 staff and provides a wide range of acute services, from surgical specialties and cancer treatments, through to orthopaedics and children’s services.
However, each departments’ critical services were depending on a core IT system that was reaching end-of-life. With vendor support ending, the hospital’s core infrastructure — and everything connected to it — was at risk.
Following meticulous planning, CAE deployed an advanced Cisco core infrastructure during a weekend in just 60 minutes. Now the hospital has the perfect infrastructure to meet future needs.
