Project Overview

From Chaos to Strategic IT Excellence

🎯

Original Plan

3-Month Knowledge Transfer

Learn existing IT infrastructure
Gain control of hospital systems
NO development work planned

🚀

Actual Delivery

Complete Infrastructure Transformation

32+ services mapped from scratch
Critical system stabilization
Emergency development support
Team restructuring & modernization

💰

Financial Impact

TK 40+ Lakh Saved

Tk 40 lakh - Nurse calling system fix
Tk 70k-150k - Mail server upgrade
Proxmox consulting costs avoided

Major Challenges Faced

IT Archaeology in a Knowledge Vacuum

🔍

Zero Documentation

No single person knew complete infrastructure
No codebase setup documentation
No backup/restore procedures
No development processes
Team only knew: "Remote access → change code"

🔧

Unpredictable R&D

Every task required extensive research
Nothing was straightforward
Impossible to commit to deadlines
Scope kept expanding with discoveries
32+ services, HIS has 38 modules

🤝

Team Communication

Poor cooperation in first 2 months
Fragmented knowledge sharing
Significant time wasted
Transportation & fatigue issues
Required direct intervention

🎯 BIGGEST LEARNING

"Must Have Deliverables - Can't Do Infinite R&D"

Hospital has 32+ services, HIS alone has 38 modules. Understanding every line of code would take infinite time with no measurable value. Management needs results, not eternal knowledge transfer.

Strategic Transformation

FROM

IT Maintenance & Firefighting

→

TO

Self-Managed IT Excellence

Bottom Line

Exceptional ROI & Strategic Foundation

💪

What We Delivered

৳40+ lakh immediate cost savings
Complete infrastructure visibility from zero
Stabilized critical systems (HIS, mail, nurse calling)
Strategic roadmap for vendor independence
Improved team structure & retained talent

🧠

What We Learned

Hospital IT was more complex than anticipated
R&D-heavy environments need different PM approaches
Internal capability building beats vendor dependency
Cultural transformation as important as technical
Must have deliverables - no infinite R&D

Ready for Q3 Excellence

Transform from "IT maintenance and firefighting" to "Strategic IT leadership with modern, scalable solutions"
