Established more than 10 years ago, Cordaan Group has become one of the largest healthcare providers in the Netherlands. The Group provides care to more than 20,000 citizens across 120 locations in every district of Amsterdam and its metropolitan area. Cordaan’s 6,000 employees and 2,500 volunteers, in association with numerous research institutes and social organizations, offer a large range of services in managed healthcare facilities and patient homes. Cordaan aspires to lead the way in developing long-term care throughout the country’s capital area.
In order to meet increased connectivity demands from guests and facilitate secure use of connected medical devices, Cordaan needed to advance its outdated network solution. The healthcare provider also wanted to simultaneously optimize operating efficiency while enabling effortless network management across all 120 of its locations.
In partnership with Extreme Networks and Pink Elephant, Cordaan replaced its legacy network with a secure, robust infrastructure orchestrated centrally via Extreme’s wireless cloud-enabled solutions. Purpose-built Extreme Wireless ensured reliable and scalable connectivity for staff, patients, and visitors regardless of location. ExtremeCloud IQ provided end-to-end visibility to keep advanced medical devices running securely while streamlining network management and maintenance. As Cordaan expands and more users, applications, and medical devices are added to the network, its new cloud-managed infrastructure will be well-prepared to meet future needs and continue providing the best possible patient care.
“The pandemic has proven that IT has become extremely personal in care facilities. High quality networking facilities are essential. That is why we partner with Extreme.”
Rob van Rinsum, CEO, Pink Elephant
