Following a series of strategic acquisitions, a large healthcare organization found itself managing
11 separate entities, each operating with its own legacy systems, IT standards, and operational workflows. While this growth offered exciting potential, it also introduced a series of daunting challenges: fragmented technologies, inconsistent IT practices, communication breakdowns, operational inefficiencies, and growing resistance to change from internal teams.
With a fractured IT landscape and concerns about the impact of system unification on daily operations, the organization needed a
comprehensive and minimally disruptive strategy
to consolidate its environment. Brewster Consulting Group was brought in to lead the effort, ensuring the entire migration was approached strategically, transparently, and with long-term scalability in mind.
The Solution: Strategic Project Management Meets Technical Execution
Brewster Consulting Group delivered a structured, phased approach to IT consolidation, leveraging proven project management methodologies to guide the initiative from planning through execution.
- Project Management Framework
We created a tailored migration framework that defined schedules, roles, responsibilities, risk mitigation plans, and governance standards to ensure the project stayed on time, on budget, and fully aligned with business goals.
- Stakeholder Communication Strategy
To address organizational complexity and change resistance, we established clear communication channels, setting expectations, building trust, and aligning diverse business units and leadership teams throughout the project lifecycle.
-Technology Audit & Inventory
Our team conducted comprehensive audits of systems, software, and devices across all 11 entities, providing a clean, accurate picture of IT assets and enabling optimized license reallocation and cost savings.
- Process Automation
We deployed automation tools to streamline previously manual migration tasks, including device enrollment, desktop agent installations, SharePoint data migrations, and email configuration and forwarding.
This saved time, reduced errors, and accelerated transition timelines.
- Change Management Support
To ensure a smooth transition, Brewster delivered targeted end-user training, FAQs, and easily accessible documentation, mitigating confusion and driving user adoption across all departments.

from 11 organizations into a single, unified technology environment. The engagement delivered measurable results:
