Cisco, GDT, and Golden Living have released a video case study that outlines the business benefits of Golden Living's Cisco powered collaboration solution. Designed and implemented by General DataTech L.P. (GDT), Golden Living's solution supports more than forty-three thousand employees in forty states.
The company implemented the solution as part of their overall efforts to provide the best possible care for the more than sixty thousand patients that they treat on a daily basis. Collaboration technology has enabled their clinicians, administrators, partners, and patients to stay in touch, while reducing overall communications costs. The solution has paid for itself in audio conferencing savings alone.
"Our business requires constant communication", said Randy Cates Vice President of IT at Golden Living, "not just from a clinical setting, but also from an executive and administrative setting. Working with Cisco and with General Datatech, and their ability to work directly with us in an integrated fashion, provided us with the skill set and the knowledge we needed to be able to roll this out."
"Collaboration technology enables companies to work more efficiently and effectively", said J.W. Roberts, President and CEO of GDT. "We've been pleased to help Golden Living improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business with a solution that paid for itself in just one year."
