Challenge

Northampton General Hospital needed to transform its IT infrastructure to become more information-led, providing staff with easy access to digital information. The existing system of paper records was inefficient and hindered productivity.

Plan

The boxxe Group was chosen to assist Northampton General Hospital in its digital transformation. The plan included running a ‘Discovery Day’ to assess needs, followed by the deployment of Google Cloud and various technology frameworks to facilitate the transition to digital records.

Approach

The team implemented a comprehensive digital strategy, supporting 5,000 staff members, managing 350 servers, 1,000 mobile devices, and 4,000 desktops. The approach focused on user-friendly technology to ensure smooth access to information and improved productivity.

Outcome

The outcome was a fully digital, information-led system that provided staff with the tools they needed to be efficient and effective. This included the deployment of desktops, laptops, notebooks, workstations, monitors, tablets, and printers. boxxe also ensured that stock was held for quick replacements, ensuring minimal downtime.

The price is good and they’ve helped us look at new tech... they’re personable, approachable and honest. My goal is to keep my staff working in the best way possible. You can buy a computer from anybody. What you want is something that comes with a service wrapped around it. When technology fails it could be removing the ability to view information pertinent to someone's care. Having the availability of information at the right time really matters. That is why we have searched for partners that do more than just sell computers, it's the service that really counts.
