Michigan Spine and Pain - Case Study
Sharon Williams - Director of Human Resources
“Our network and technology processes were on the verge of imploding. The little infrastructure issues were piling up. I couldn't manage the amount of work that was needed to be done and I couldn't handle the stress it was causing me.
Center for Business Innovation heard our cry for help. They listened to what we needed and wanted, and together designed a plan that would resolve our issues.
They were like a breath of fresh air. We are unbelievably grateful to be working with them."
The Challenge
Their network infrastructure had been shoe stringed together. Project management was haywire. MI Spine & Pain was experiencing tremendous growth, including the expansion from 1 to 3 facilities throughout Michigan. They had multiple vendors conducting multiple projects that conflicted with one another, causing an incredibly chaotic infrastructure. A few items they wanted:
-
A consistent platform for anti-virus, operating system and application management.
-
Network infrastructure reorganization and reconfiguration.
-
Technical support for customized software solutions
-
Regular on-site preventative maintenance visits.
-
A reliable data protection and backup plan.
-
Electronic Medical Records (ERM) support and management.
The Solution
We created a complete desktop, server and data solution for MI Spine and Pain. We also provided them project management guidance by becoming their Virtual CIO (VCIO). Below are a few solutions we provided them:
- Mediated and negotiated with their various vendors.
- Created an organized execution plan for projects.
- Reviewed their network infrastructure, implementation processes and project costs.
- Senior level technical support and infrastructure analyses at each location.
- Implemented technology practices that would increase performance and stability.
- Dispatch a technician to each location regularly.
As a result, we increased the productivity of the doctors and the nursing staff. Sharon Williams no longer has the daily pressures of maintaining their network.
