Overview
In July 2023, TransformCare reached out to Network Depot seeking IT support and help desk services for approximately 15 fully remote users, split between PC and Mac devices. They had no physical office or on-site hardware, relying heavily on O365, SharePoint, and OneDrive for daily operations. They knew that to scale effectively in the healthcare sector, they needed to harden their IT infrastructure and strengthen cybersecurity. Leveraging our proven track record supporting healthcare organizations β including our experience working with the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) β we were uniquely positioned to help TransformCare achieve their ambitious goals.
Challenges
- Limited cybersecurity measures (no MFA, basic public trust clearance)
- No standardized onboarding process for remote staff
- Growing compliance requirements in healthcare contracting
- Need for unified support for both Mac and PC
- Desire to scale without on-premises infrastructure
