After months of successful partnering, InterMed chooses to outsource its IT needs to Portland, ME-based Winxnet.
MAINE, Jan. 1, 2011 — Businesses are now aware that the outsource model is not synonymous with off-shoring. Organizations choosing to outsource their IT realize increased cost savings, a return to focus on core business, improved quality, access to talent and innovation, operational expertise, and capacity management (ensuring IT meets current and future business requirements in a cost-effective manner). Such is the case with InterMed, which chose Winxnet to supply its IT needs. This local partnership brings together Maine's largest medical practice with a leading provider of consulting, application development, and network services.
Winxnet's understanding of InterMed's needs and its extensive experience with healthcare IT resulted in a comprehensive technology management solution Winxnet delivers to InterMed 24 hours-a-day/7 days a week. Says Dan McCormack, InterMed's CEO, "We have entrusted Winxnet with all of our IT, and the service is great. They are transforming our IT department into a 'customer first' organization!"
By choosing Winxnet, InterMed expands its IT expertise from four to forty professionals for the same investment. They have seen gains in coverage: Exclusive access to Winxnet's help desk and a 24/7/365 remote monitoring system that watches over InterMed's network devices and applications. Winxnet is also providing advanced services around server virtualization, disaster recovery, and a patch management system that applies approved updates, service packs, and security fixes automatically after-hours. Winxnet's Michael Williams now occupies the CIO role for InterMed, providing critical IT experience, leadership and vision.
"We're pleased that InterMed chose to expand its partnership with Winxnet for its broader technology support and strategy needs," said Chris Claudio, Winxnet's CEO. "They are part of an ever growing number of medical practices that see the value in entrusting their IT to us. We understand – and respond to – their needs, allowing InterMed to deliver on its mission: to provide its patients with the highest quality medical care."
