Challenges Faced by Synergy Medical
As Synergy Medical expanded its operations, several challenges emerged that hindered its ability to deliver seamless service:
- End User Management: With more staff relying on IT systems, managing user accounts and support requests became a headache. This often resulted in longer wait times for help and a drop in service quality, making it hard for employees to do their jobs effectively.
- Device Management: The organisation used the variety of medical equipment and office devices. The handling and tracking of these devices got increasingly complex, resulting in equipment faults or downtime. This intricacy has the potential to interrupt operations and have an influence on patient care.
- Telephony and Internet Reliable communication is critical in a healthcare setting. Unfortunately, Synergy Medical’s existing phone and internet solutions were often lacking, leading to dropped calls and slow internet speeds. This hindered effective communication among staff and with patients, impacting coordination and service delivery.
- IT Procurement: The process of purchasing IT resources was inefficient and lacked a strategic approach. Delays in procurement meant that the company often struggled to secure the essential technology and equipment, affecting operational efficiency and growth.
- Expertise in IT Support: The absence of in-house IT expertise, led to system management weaknesses. Without a dedicated IT personnel, resolving issues became difficult, resulting in extended downtimes and service interruptions.
Services Provided by NSWITs
To tackle these challenges, Synergy Medical partnered with us, a Managed IT service provider to implement a range of tailored services:
