Lawrence Physical Therapy Practice
Case Study
Diverse Technology Solutions (DTS-VDESK) Virtual Desktop Hosting provides Lawrence Physical Therapy (LPT) with a "healthy", fiscally-responsible alternative to replacing end-of-life internal servers and network hardware. A healthcare provider with three New York locations and a DTS managed IT services client, LPT's outdated servers and back-end infrastructure was a candidate for replacement and becoming an ever-increasing risk to the business.
The Challenge
LPT needed to replace their primary network servers, storage and backup systems. While they needed to be able to quickly and simply share information between three offices via an easy-to-use, web-based interface, what they didn't need was an estimated hardware and software replacement cost in excess of $30,000 during stringent financial times.
The Solution
DTS IT strategists implemented the DTS-VDESK service featuring a managed Microsoft-based virtual server and desktop solution that offered:
- Minimal migration, consulting and upfront fees.
- IT as a service with budgeted and predictable monthly cost.
- Complete setup, configuration and migration of client data and applications to the DTS-VDESK cloud based service.
- Project management and technical support to assume all responsibility for migration to DTS Cloud Services.
- Customized locked down virtual desktop profile using company logo.
- Redirected desktop printing and scanning capabilities.
- Complete ongoing end-user support for all virtual desktop users.
