Building a connectivity framework designed for the acquisitions that hadn't happened yet.
The situation
A rapidly scaling healthcare platform, growing through middle-market M&A, was managing wireless internally and sourcing network connectivity in a disparate, ad hoc way every time a new location joined the business.
Why this was hard without help
Every acquisition brought its own inherited vendor relationships and network setup, with no consistent framework for absorbing them. Internally managed wireless without a strategic sourcing approach meant costs and terms varied location to location, and there was no way to negotiate future connectivity from a position of scale.
What Resourcive brought
A topology and strategic sourcing framework built specifically for growth: a single mobility vendor across tier-1 carriers, a scalable SD-WAN overlay designed to avoid capital expenditure with each new acquisition, and integration enablement built into the framework from the start rather than solved location by location.
"We finally have a framework instead of starting from scratch every time we acquire."
