How can healthcare organizations modernize endpoints without compromising performance, experience or cost control?

A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Improving Endpoint Performance for Healthcare Teams

A large healthcare organization was preparing for a Windows 11 refresh while facing significant cost pressure. As a longtime customer of a legacy platform provider, the organization needed to ensure that any change in endpoint strategy would support reliable performance for clinicians and staff while helping IT leaders plan for a future-ready device environment.

The organization was open to evaluating new endpoint options, but the decision required more than a lower price point. IT stakeholders needed strong technical validation, hands-on testing and a trusted partner that could help compare platforms based on real-world performance and user experience.

THE TURNING POINT

Validating AMD-Powered Endpoint Performance

CDW partnered with AMD and Lenovo to help the healthcare organization evaluate Lenovo client devices powered by AMD processors. The engagement included advisory and consulting support, hands-on demos and extensive technical testing to help the customer assess performance, reliability and fit for a large-scale Windows 11 refresh.

CDW also supported device lifecycle management planning to help the organization think beyond device selection and prepare for deployment at scale. By bringing together CDW account leadership and AMD and Lenovo technical teams, the customer gained the insight and proof points needed to confidently consider a new endpoint platform.
