The team set several goals: 1) Ensure the processes and security protocols are efficient and effective.


2) Ensure all devices are secure. 3) Enable management from a policy perspective and software perspective—without a full-time IT person.


He credits the devices provided by PC Connection, Inc. with having “tremendously powerful built-in security tools” and admits it’s feasible to balance the triangle of usability, security, and manageability.


“PC Connection, Inc. helped us implement our security policies and install our new powerful encryption tools to guard against harmful malware and keep us connected safely. I can’t stress the importance of a great partnership like we have with PC Connection, Inc. and HP—they help us work through our limitations and work in tandem to guide us through some of our toughest questions.” Keith Fraidenburg, MBA, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer


IMPROVED COLLABORATION


Thanks to the new technology, CHIME conducts many meetings via video—on a phone, tablet, or a notebook. All the solutions are loaded on all the devices and allow virtual meetings to take place across the globe. This is a process that CHIME reports now actually reduces the cost and dependence on other telecommunication tools and direct phone calls.


PC Connection, Inc. has helped CHIME discover and integrate a real-time collaboration process into the daily workflow. Stakeholders contribute to a live document simultaneously to speed project completion and sign-off. The team reports some timelines were reduced from several days to one hour.


“PC Connection, Inc. led the charge for us. The hard work from their staff created the virtual back end that literally makes it point-and-click to load on any device, in a matter of seconds.” Russ Branzell, CEO and President of CHIME


CHIME reports a monumental productivity increase because they’re not tethered to an older email solution or wired applications. What’s more, the staff has shifted their focus from managing daily technology, to their “customers” who are the membership, CIO, and other C-suite health information technology professionals, as well as foundation members.
