Case Study: Solothurner Spitäler AG achieves 22% IT workload reduction and safer, faster patching across 430 servers with NinjaOne

Why the Solothurn hospitals switched to NinjaOne for patch management

Solothurner Spitäler AG, the public hospital group in Switzerland’s canton of Solothurn with over 4,200 staff, faced growing cybersecurity risk from ransomware and the challenge of reliably patching 430 servers amid pandemic pressures and staff shortages. Their legacy on‑premises WSUS/scripts solution caused management headaches—particularly a lack of separation between patch scans and installations—so they evaluated cloud options and selected NinjaOne for Endpoint Management and Patch Management.

NinjaOne delivered a cloud‑based patching solution with seamless WSUS integration, clear separation of scans and deployments, granular patch classification, selective update controls, and policy‑based group mapping; the vendor’s support enabled a smooth migration in one month. As a result, NinjaOne helped the IT team identify previously unpatched servers, strengthen security posture, and reduce overall IT workload by 22%, giving Solothurner Spitäler AG greater confidence and efficiency in their patch management.
