The Institute of Occupational Medicine is a UK leader in occupational health risk management, identified the need for greater agility and enhanced security in response to evolving customer demands for real-time monitoring and routine workplace audits, while simultaneously meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
IOM approached Spitfire to provide a comprehensive roadmap to reduce costs, improve IT management, tighten security, and deliver a market-leading product. The result is a complete connectivity solution which is based on the Spitfire One Network solution, delivering:
- A 40% cost reduction through optimised network connectivity and transition to a CAPEX-free firewall model.
- Enhanced network management and visibility with customised firewall settings and comprehensive monitoring.
- Secure, direct connections for remote sensor gateways via Spitfire’s Mobile IoT SIMs, simplifying deployment and management, crucial for expanding IOM’s capabilities in cost-sensitive scenarios.

We take care of modern-day workplace connectivity complexities and give cost effective flexibility to our clients.”
Alan Boyd, BSc, MSc, Group Head of Technology at the Institute of Occupational Medicine, stated, “Our aim was to reassess our Wide Area Connectivity with an aim of right-sizing connectivity, reviewing security management, simplifying IT management, and providing a network that would underpin our business for years to come. Spitfire’s simple yet powerful One Network solution did it all.
