From Frustration to Efficiency: Replacing a Current Provider for Better Performance and Reliability

Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, a leading heart and lung hospital in the UK, was facing significant challenges with its internal communication system. The Trust needed to modernise its approach, as persistent issues with its legacy communications platform, were affecting staff engagement and timely communication. By partnering with NewZapp, the hospital was able to transform its communication strategy, resulting in increased engagement, improved efficiency, and reliable service delivery.

The Challenge: Overcoming Current Provider Failures

Before the transition to NewZapp, Royal Papworth relied on the legacy platform for internal communication. However, the system was found to be unreliable, frequently experiencing outages, and offered minimal technical support. These failures disrupted the Trust’s ability to send critical updates and engage staff effectively. Laura Favell, Communications Officer at Royal Papworth, noted:

“For healthcare organisations, effective and timely communication is non-negotiable.”

The communications team was frustrated by several challenges:

  • Frequent downtimes: System outages led to delays in sending important updates.
  • User interface limitations: The system’s complexity reduced engagement and made day-to-day use inefficient.
  • Poor support response: Technical support was slow, leading to prolonged disruptions.
  • Spiralling costs in an extremely budget conscious time.

The Solution: Transitioning to NewZapp for a Seamless, Reliable Platform

Recognising the need for a robust and responsive communication platform, Royal Papworth selected NewZapp after thorough research.

The NewZapp platform stood out due to its ease of use, superior support, and strong integration capabilities.

The transition process was well-managed, involving close collaboration between the Trust’s IT department and NewZapp’s team
