Case Study: Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust achieves better data protection and a paperless future with BridgeHead Software

Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, a UK healthcare provider serving 255,000 people, needed to improve operational efficiency, deliver major cost savings, and move toward a digitized, paperless hospital while strengthening data protection and storage management. To support these ambitious goals, the Trust turned to BridgeHead Software for backup, disaster recovery, and archiving solutions across both clinical and administrative data.

BridgeHead Software implemented a phased approach, starting with backup and disaster recovery for the Trust’s MEDITECH HCIS system, then adding file archiving and email archiving for more than 1,500 Microsoft Exchange users, with plans to extend to an additional 2,000 users and support an Exchange upgrade. The solution helped the Trust optimize storage, make digitized records searchable and accessible, speed up systems, reduce storage costs, and free staff time for patient care, while supporting the Trust’s £20 million efficiency savings target.
