Melbourne GP clinicReducing the cost of an over-provisioned hosting environment
The clinic was operating in a private data-centre environment that had become expensive relative to its day-to-day needs. It needed a more cost-effective model without creating avoidable disruption for staff or patients.
- Reviewed the practical requirements of an environment supporting 11 workstations and three servers
- Planned a move from the hosted environment to a right-sized on-premises setup
- Completed the cutover over a weekend while the clinic was closed
- Validated access and core systems before the next business week
The clinic moved from approximately $3,500 per month in recurring IT and hosting costs to a model around $2,500 per month lower. The Friday-to-Monday cutover avoided significant clinical disruption, and Podium IT continues to support the clinic.
