Case Study: NHS Digital achieves secure, flexible connectivity with Exponential-e

NHS Digital - Customer Case Study

NHS Digital, the UK health and social care system’s trusted information and technology partner, needed a more efficient and flexible way to connect 12 sites and multiple data centres while meeting strict healthcare data protection rules. Before working with Exponential-e, it relied on several suppliers for cloud and WAN services, and its encrypted point-to-point network setup was expensive, time-consuming to manage, and often unable to support the bespoke solutions NHS Digital required.

Exponential-e provided Cloud Connect for secure connectivity to AWS and Azure, then later deployed its SD-WAN solution to improve control, visibility, and automated encryption across the network. With Exponential-e’s dedicated account team and 24/7 support, NHS Digital gained a single view of its network, smoother remote working during COVID-19, and high-capacity connectivity for the Leeds Government Hub, supporting more than 3,000 staff while improving operational efficiency, compliance, and cost control.
