Business Need

As one of the leaders in the growing radiology industry, the imaging company partners with primary care physicians and hospitals to provide radiology services to both physicians and patients. However, with their current IT ecosystem, the imaging company was finding it difficult to:

  • Keep up and take advantage of emerging technology trends and opportunities
  • Bring IT projects to successful closure due to lack of project expertise and limited resources
  • Share resources across projects to reduce costs and improve lead times
  • Ensure alignment between IT and business units due to communication gaps

In their ambition to leverage IT to be a business differentiator and provide a platform that continues to create optimum user experience, the imaging company initiated an IT transformation initiative to assess and transform their IT processes and infrastructure into a strategic enabler of operational and growth goals and objectives. The key objectives of this transformation included:

  • Enabling a culture of keeping up with and implementing evolving technologies
  • Ensuring the right IT people, processes, and systems are in place to enable the strategic and tactical goals and objectives of the business
  • Improving the delivery and implementation of major technology projects

The imaging company also wanted to improve the scalability, maturity, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, workflows, and end-user satisfaction while providing the best experience for their radiologists, employees, and clients. They wanted to establish “HyperCare” customer service levels, implement ITIL processes, automate workflows, and derive the benefits of an outsourced IT model. To meet these requirements, the company got in touch with Synoptek as their preferred IT Managed Services provider.

Solution and Approach

Synoptek took over the management of the imaging company’s current IT team and put professional services in place to effectively manage project execution while maintaining high service levels. Leveraging standard ITIL processes and automation, we helped the company streamline routine IT support and operations and supplemented their IT staff with technology expertise to enable project-focused execution and effective problem resolution.

To minimize the timeline associated with cloud migration, keep changes to the overall production environment to a minimum, reduce risk, and increase the likelihood of a successful migration, Synoptek took a three-phase migration approach that included: lifting and shifting of production environment, deployment of private cloud, and carry out cloud-based migration.
