Large Multi-Divisional Company
Two divisions, two redundant IT stacks, one health-services company. Consolidation onto a central platform cut cost while keeping access and HIPAA compliance cleanly separated.
Two divisions of a large health services company had grown separate, stand-alone IT systems — duplicate servers, duplicate licensing, two backup platforms, and the space, power, and support contracts to keep both alive.
Leadership wanted the cost profile of one platform, but division boundaries — and HIPAA obligations — meant access could never blur between business units.
“We were paying for everything twice and getting resilience once. NetSys gave us one platform that respects the wall between our divisions better than two platforms ever did.”
The approach
Consolidation blueprint
Inventoried both stacks and designed a single central platform: shared infrastructure at the base, strict logical separation above it — one bill, two isolated worlds.
Central platform build
Centralized servers, VPN, file storage, and virtual desktops, with identity segmented by division: separate access policies, separate data stores, MFA everywhere, Conditional Access by role and division.
Divisional cut-over
Migrated one division at a time with parallel-run weekends — no shared-fate risk, no cross-division data movement, full audit trail for compliance.
Unified protection
One security stack now covers both divisions: endpoint protection policies, web services protection, cloud-based spam filtering, immutable backups, and disaster recovery — monitored 24/7 by NetSys with active response.
- Centralized virtualization platform
- Per-division virtual desktops
- Segmented identity + Conditional Access
- Multifactor Authentication
- Division-scoped file storage
- Central VPN
- Endpoint protection policies
- Cloud spam & web protection
- Immutable backups
- Disaster recovery + 24/7 monitoring
The results
Twelve-month run-rate comparison, one year post-consolidation.
