SUMMARY
Over the last decade, my work has included client-focused success stories, blog posts around connectivity and networking, website copy, Twitter feeds, podcast scripts, and magazine articles.
How to build a winning telehealth strategy
Offering
telehealth services is no longer seen merely as an innovative idea by the
patients who use them. Today, it is increasingly what patients expect.
Healthcare
practices today are judged less by whether they provide remote care, and more
by the specific nature of their off-premises consultations.
How satisfied are patients with their telemedicine consultations? How much time and money can be saved by patients and practitioners using remote services instead of in-person visits? How comprehensive are the online exams? How secure are the networks being used?
How independent hotels are preparing for the future
Led
by technologies such as AI and robotics, as well as the ubiquitous need for
responsive, high-speed connectivity, the hospitality industry is experiencing
radical change. This is seen in both the ways they serve guests and how they
satisfy their expectations. In all this, independent hotels are well positioned
to take the lead.
When
it comes to innovation, independent hoteliers often lead the way. An immediate
understanding of the needs and wants of their specific clientele is a critical
component for their survival. So is the ability to adapt to change.
Today’s typical traveler is evolving quickly, becoming younger and more tech-savvy. They travel for business, but also with an eye to enjoying themselves while on their journey, an exciting hybrid known as “bleisure travel.” They expect an experience that will cater to their expectations, surprising and delighting them all the while.
How SD-WAN improves student experiences in higher education
Universities and colleges are well versed in the use of software-defined wide-area networks, or SD-WAN. While other organizations struggle with increasingly outmoded MPLS or legacy services, utilization of SD-WAN in higher education has been the norm for years.
For IT
leaders at academic organizations, the need for secure site-to-site virtual
private networking has long been clear. They value its design flexibility and
near-instant scalability. SD-WAN also helps them address critical
technology staffing challenges.
Yet the advantages of SD-WAN go further still. Geographically distant campuses can be brought together to augment learning opportunities. Data centers can be accessed to deepen research capabilities across a broad spectrum of categories. Especially as part of a managed services solution, SD-WAN is a tool for unlocking the broader potential of an academic institution.
Maximizing cloud advantages for K-12 organizations
A new school year puts a
great deal in perspective for educators, like the need to be ready for
tomorrow. From the broadening use of tablets and WiFi in the classroom to
greater emphasis on performance tracking and parental oversight, the future of
education is in cloud technology uptake.
The benefits are clear for
K-12 institutions, as are the risks of falling behind. Simply put, cloud
technology accelerates student learning at home and in the classroom, with
platforms which are both flexible to run and cost-effective.
How can educational IT leaders make the most of cloud opportunities? They can start by asking whether the current operational set-up gets all it can from its connectivity. If the answer is no, maybe it’s time to consider infrastructure enhancements.
Culver City provides hope for chronically unhoused
“Having services like the wall of video feeds provided by Managed Network Edge is very helpful to us. The support from Spectrum Business has made a meaningful difference throughout the process.”
- Christina Stoffers-Himmelman, Management Analyst, City of Culver City
In Culver City, California, people who lived on the streets not long ago now know a degree of stability and normalcy because of a dedicated housing program.
Two shuttered motels were converted into over 70 independent housing units which offer key services like food, nursing care and counseling. Also included are internet connectivity, television, security cameras, WiFi and voice services, acquired by the city in partnership with the non-profit agency Exodus Recovery.
Make a seamless migration to Cloud Calling
Many mid-sized to large
businesses are leveraging their existing cloud communications infrastructure to
introduce external calling and voice service features. Cloud Calling enables
them to extend this capability with external calling and voice service features.
Which provider should they
choose to implement this extension into the cloud?
IT leaders should consider several factors when choosing a voice operator for their cloud communications platform. It goes beyond cost, including such things as telecom budgeting, reliability, security, connectivity and a partner ready to help meet your enterprise’s specific needs.
