Overview

Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) has been a long-standing technology partner since 2015 through SSD and continued as a Sourcepass client following the acquisition in June 2022. As a nonprofit organization focused on women’s health, survivorship programs, and the operations of a donated-goods retail store, DBCC relies on secure, dependable technology to serve a distributed workforce and safeguard sensitive health information.

As their environment grew more complex—and their mission grew in reach—they needed an IT partner capable of stabilizing daily operations, modernizing aging systems, reinforcing HIPAA-aligned security, and providing a strategic roadmap for the future. Through Premium Managed Services with Advanced Security and website hosting, Sourcepass now supports DBCC with a fully managed IT program that emphasizes responsiveness, reliability, compliance, and longterm alignment.

Today, the partnership includes unlimited onsite and remote support, 24/7 help desk access, monthly executive reporting, regular strategy sessions, and dedicated teams for Client Success and Strategic Advisement.

 

Challenges

DBCC’s environment was shaped by years of incremental growth, legacy systems, and operational constraints tied to both nonprofit and retail operations. Key challenges included:

  • Aging and inconsistent hardware, with delays in laptop procurement, required hardware changes, and pending budget approvals.

  • Gaps in website hosting and domain management, including questions around the Host My Site platform and pending DNS/domain transfers.

  • HIPAA-driven compliance needs, including secure data destruction, user access controls, and improved safeguards during equipment retirement.

  • Operational hurdles across store and remote locations, such as equipment delivery challenges, malfunctioning registers, and delayed installation timelines.

  • Third-party coordination needs, including escalations for app access issues and clarifications with external software providers.

  • Legacy system cleanup, requiring updated inventories, device removal, and modernization of in-store and remote endpoints.

Together, these factors underscored the need for a partner who could drive stability, modernize systems, reduce user friction, and proactively plan for the future.

 

 “Our security posture has absolutely improved, especially around HIPAA-related risks. Knowing our data is handled properly gives us real peace of mind. It’s one less thing we have to worry about.”

— Sue Murray Chief Operating Officer
