Customer Quote:
“Our decision to choose Networks Group came initially upon their ability to service and support Aruba Wireless Networks, our chosen wireless vendor, however upon further discussion we were able to determine that what Networks Group had to offer was far more. Their level of expertise in Cisco Networking, Security, Intrusion Protection, Antivirus, was unmistakable. After conversations with other vendors we could not overlook the comprehensive knowledge set of Networks Group.”
“We had the particular challenge of not only setting up a state of the art facility which includes service for Radiology PACS networks, Radiation Therapy, Medical Oncology, Gynecological Oncology, Laboratory Services, Specialty Pharmacy, Infusion, Research, and administrative services, but also to keep the existing network infrastructure that was spread across 4 central Ohio offices actively working. Networks Group stepped up to the challenge providing us with a cost effective solution that included Cisco networking products and Juniper Intrusion Protection, Firewalls, and SSL.”
“As our needs changed internally we found ourselves no longer in need of an in house FTE for networking needs. We have given complete reliance upon Networks Group to keep our networks up to date and functioning at their peak. Networks Group, upon our in-house personnel leaving, was on top of the security changes and found layers of optimization that could be made. We are performing better and more efficiently now than we were with in-house staff. All of this has come at a total cost savings for us. While 2008 had some additional reconfiguring costs for us, we are anticipating a 1/3 cost savings working with Networks Group than working with our internal staff. The benefit of this is that we not only get the individual expertise but the expertise of many individuals.”
