Challenge:
This client is a nationally recognized healthcare organization with constantly growing needs for data storage. The company needed a way to find best prices for server and storage equipment without buying too far ahead of the technology curve, while taking maximum advantage of performance improvements. The organization also sought a way to improve their internal order turnaround, from request to production, for server and storage project requirements.
EGI Solution:
To help with acquisition and asset management, the company leveraged EGI’s procurement tool for virtually all technology orders. EGI’s on-site sales and engineering staff assisted with projects and architectures, helping to acquire additional Open Systems products and services. EGI became the organization’s main OEM representative and helped institute industry specific applications like imaging, pharmacy and in/out patient.
Results:
The client continues to leverage the EGI procurement tool and on-site staff for ordering, making EGI the company’s preferred Open Systems supplier. In addition, EGI is viewed as trusted advisor on all Open System opportunities to meet all of the organization’s increasing storage needs. The relationship has yielded significant bottom line benefits for this client – both in cost savings and operating efficiencies.
