State Ministry Network Modernization

Redesigning wide-area network connectivity across 14 state government offices, cutting downtime incidents by more than half.

The Challenge

Fourteen offices, no standardized network, and unreliable connectivity.

The ministry’s 14 offices had grown their network infrastructure independently over years, with no standardized design, inconsistent connectivity providers, and no redundancy. Outages at individual offices were common and disrupted service delivery to the public, with no formal escalation path when they occurred.

Any modernization also had to work within a formal government procurement and budget cycle, ruling out an all-at-once rebuild.

The Solution

A standardized, phased rollout across every office.

A single network template was designed once, then replicated across offices in phases aligned to the ministry’s budget cycle.

Network audit

As-built documentation produced for all 14 offices, most previously undocumented.

Standardized branch template

A single switching, routing, and connectivity design replicated across every location.

SD-WAN deployment

Multi-path connectivity with automatic failover between providers.

Phased rollout

Offices modernized in batches aligned to budget approval cycles.

Centralized monitoring

All 14 offices brought under a single monitoring and alerting platform.

Staff training

Ministry IT staff trained to operate and perform first-line troubleshooting.

The Results

What changed after rollout.

"Our previous network was 14 different problems. IBHAMU gave us one design we could actually manage and roll out office by office within our budget cycle."
