关于客户
TPA America is a national benefits administration company that also provides IT services. The company has offices across the United States. The bulk of their client communication has moved from phone to encrypted email, making it business-critical. While TPA maintains a large help desk team for its service and software clients, it has a limited staff for internal support and employee incidents. Therefore, TPA needs an email security solution that requires minimal maintenance and does not disrupt daily operations. The company previously used Mimecast for email security but faced several issues with it, leading them to switch to Avanan.
挑战
TPA America, a national benefits administration company, was facing issues with their email security solution, Mimecast. The company had moved to Office 365 and wanted a security solution that was easy and low maintenance. However, after deployment, they started facing problems. The first issue was the number of false positives which disrupted the business. Emails would disappear until a user would ask about it the next day or spend time looking through quarantine. This led to a helpdesk ticket or an urgent call from a department head. The interface was also confusing and difficult to navigate. It was hard to find a message or understand why it was blocked. The lost time, both on the IT team and for company employees, became an expensive burden. Email-related tickets are often time-sensitive and because they can lead to a breach, potentially critical, forcing the helpdesk to grant each priority. It became necessary to add staff to manage the system.
解决方案
The company decided to switch to Avanan, a cloud email security platform. Avanan deploys inside Office 365 and uses APIs to block phishing, malware, and data leakage in the line of communications traffic. The IT team was immediately attracted to the UI of the Avanan portal and the speed at which they could identify and understand an event. One of the most powerful features of the Avanan platform is the machine learning system specifically designed to prevent false positives. Analyzing a year’s worth of messages on the first day of deployment, the engine creates a reputation matrix for both internal users and trusted partners. Not only did the Avanan interface offer a near-zero adoption curve for the IT team, users were quick to switch to the new system. Phish reporting and quarantine release requests use the existing Office 365 infrastructure so there is only one quarantine to manage and no new tools to learn.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
