Case Study: a major U.S. federal health agency achieves faster, more automated network operations with DMI

a major U.S. federal health agency cuts network configuration effort by 99% with DMI

A major U.S. federal health agency faced growing operational complexity as its large, distributed IT environment expanded. Manual network configuration processes were difficult to scale and could not keep pace with demands for security and visibility, placing significant pressure on engineering teams. The agency engaged DMI to help modernize its operations.

DMI established a modern operating model for the agency by implementing software-defined networking, automation with Cisco DNA Center and Ansible, hybrid cloud connectivity, and Zero Trust security. This solution reduced major network configuration efforts by approximately 99%, cutting a process that took hundreds of hours down to just 10 hours. DMI also helped reduce deployment times from hours to just 15 minutes, creating a more scalable, consistent, and controlled foundation for the agency's mission-critical infrastructure.
