Case Study: Memorial Health automates patching across 2,300 endpoints and saves $15K annually with Action1

Memorial Hospital Automates Patching for 2,300 Endpoints Across Its Distributed Network with Action1

Memorial Health, an independent health system centered on Memorial Hospital, was struggling to manage security updates and application installs across a rapidly expanding, distributed network of 2,300 endpoints. Legacy on‑prem tools like WSUS and Goverlan left the IT team with blind spots for remote machines, required manual scheduling and reboots, depended on one skilled scripter for industry‑specific installs, and exposed the organization to ransomware and data‑protection risks — so the team evaluated vendors and chose Action1.

Action1’s cloud‑native platform delivered centralized visibility, automated OS and third‑party patching, CVSS‑based vulnerability prioritization, a script library for non‑scripted deployments, and Active Directory integration, enabling fast, low‑touch rollout. The solution automated patching across 2,300 endpoints, reduced manual effort, sped software installs for staff, improved reporting to leadership, and produced roughly $15,000 in annual cost savings while materially strengthening the hospital’s security posture.
