IP Configuration & Project Management Solutions Major NY Metro Area Hospital System
Derive managed a massive IP device configuration project for a NY hospital merger, standardizing network security and compliance across the network.
Overview
When a world-renowned Greater New York Metro area hospital system undertook one of the region's most ambitious healthcare mergers — consolidating numerous hospitals and satellite clinical practices into a single, non-profit care network — the resulting IT integration challenge was enormous. Thousands of legacy and new devices, including printers, print servers, computers, and other end-user equipment, required reconfiguration with new wired and wireless network protocols to ensure standardized connectivity, airtight security, and full regulatory compliance across every facility.The sheer scale of the Device IP Configuration Project demanded more than internal resources alone could deliver. With a long-standing relationship spanning decades — one that predated the merger and extended across multiple hospitals now unified under a single brand — this major hospital system turned to Derive Technologies and its dedicated Derive Healthcare practice for the certified project management expertise and engineering depth required to execute a smooth, risk-mitigated IP upgrade path.Derive Healthcare's team embedded alongside the hospital's internal IT staff, bringing disciplined project governance, deep healthcare IT knowledge, and a systematic approach to device inventory, IP scheme design, phased reconfiguration, and comprehensive documentation. The result was a seamless network transformation that preserved uninterrupted patient care while establishing a secure, compliant, and future-ready infrastructure foundation for the newly consolidated care network.

IP Configuration Project Management
One of Derive Technologies’ (and the company's dedicated Derive Healthcare practice's) world-renowned, Greater New York Metro area-based hospital clients formed a consolidated care group comprising numerous additional hospitals and satellite clinical practices. During this merger, which created a significantly larger, non-profit care network, legacy and new printers, print servers, computers, and other end-user devices had to be updated with new wired and wireless network protocols to standardize all network connectivity and ensure security and regulatory compliance.
The expanse of the Device IP Configuration Project was, and continues to be extensive and laborious, so the hospital – with which Derive has had a long relationship (both with the main hospital carrying the new care network’s brand, and other hospitals and facilities now in the care group) – turned to Derive’s certified project managers and engineers to augment their own team in support of a smooth IP upgrade path.
