Derive managed a massive IP device configuration project for a NY hospital merger, standardizing network security and compliance across the network.
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.

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.

Beyond the immediate success of the IP reconfiguration initiative, Derive's engagement delivered enduring strategic value to the hospital network. By embedding certified project managers and engineers alongside the hospital's internal team, Derive provided disciplined risk mitigation at every phase — identifying and resolving potential issues before they could impact operations. Resource optimization was a key outcome, as the hospital system leveraged Derive's specialized expertise rather than diverting clinical IT staff from their core responsibilities. Operational continuity was preserved throughout, demonstrating that even the most complex, large-scale network transformations can be executed without compromising the patient care mission. This engagement further solidified a decades-long partnership and established a proven, repeatable project management framework that the hospital network can draw upon as it continues to integrate new facilities, adopt emerging technologies, and navigate the evolving healthcare regulatory landscape.
"Derive's support during this massive network reconfiguration project was exceptional. Their certified project managers and engineers integrated seamlessly with our internal team, bringing the discipline, healthcare IT expertise, and relentless attention to detail we needed to reconfigure thousands of devices across our newly merged care network — without a single minute of clinical downtime. We trust Derive Technologies as a true extension of our team."
