National Health Care Provider

Client
A healthcare provider employing 2,500+ employees in 185 single specialty, practice–based outpatient or ambulatory surgery centers located across the country.

Challenge
Like many healthcare providers, The client relied heavily on effective billing and data management. When they decided to deploy a software billing package to all their locations, they realized they needed more assistance than their small IT staff could provide. They wanted to work with a company that could not only provide data WAN services, but would allow the ability to migrate to managed voice services later as desired.

Solution
Smoothstone implemented a managed MPLS WAN with a Cisco–based network infrastructure.

Benefits
In order to help the company with their billing package delivery, Smoothstone quickly implemented our managed MPLS WAN to 12 select locations as requested. The remainder of the locations nationwide would be implemented in phases over the next three years. Additionally, Smoothstone´s solution gave the client a migration path that would allow them to layer managed voice services and other, on–demand, enterprise applications as desired.
