No Room for Error
Geraci was also faced with structural and budgetary constraints; one of the biggest challenges was fi tting all of the necessary technology into the new addition. “When you’re building a bunkerized facility and you’re trying to incorporate approximately 16 positions for dispatchers and a room that will contain all your data center equipment, you’re very limited,” said Geraci. “It forced us to look at a lot of things—one, the workspace that the staff uses, and two, the server space that we have.” With no room for error, AMT needed IT solutions designed for maximum performance, reliability, and value. Having an experienced team at PC Connection to call on for help ensured a productive planning and design phase of the project.
Collaboration Is the Key to Success
In addition to space constraints, another challenge for the AMT team was dealing with a multitude of vendors and technologies. “When we started [the project], we didn’t really understand everything that we really needed,” said Geraci. “Working with our Account Manager at PC Connection was a great help.” AMT’s PC Connection Account Manager listened to their needs and tapped into the technical resources at his disposal to help answer their questions. When Geraci had concerns about implementing a battery backup solution, he knew exactly where to turn. “When we placed a call to PC Connection to investigate our options, our representative reached out to APC right then and there on the phone,” said Geraci. “We got a project manager involved, started looking at what we wanted to do, and ended up having several conference calls after that.” Collaboration was a big factor in the success of the project, allowing Geraci to illustrate AMT’s day-to-day needs and have industry experts handle the technical details. “They pretty much managed the design all the way through the installation of the APC unit. They worked with our electricians and the group that was installing backup generators, so it was pretty much a hands-off piece for us until it came time to do the testing and the training,” said Geraci. “That was probably the smoothest piece of the whole installation.”
Turn to Your Trusted IT Experts
The new addition to AMT’s Peoria facility helped Geraci achieve his goal of creating a more informed, more effi cient workforce. Building on a longstanding relationship with his Account Manager, Geraci knows he can turn to the knowledgeable experts at PC Connection for guidance on all of his IT projects. “It’s been a great team to deal with,” said Geraci. “We’re going to keep working with them down the road—I can’t say enough about them.” Backed by the unbeatable combination of state-of- the-art technology and deep-rooted involvement with the community, AMT will undoubtedly continue to provide life-saving care for years to come.
