Butler Health System Selects Persystent Software to Improve Manageability of PCs in Nursing Stations and Remote Locations
Tampa, FL, June 28, 2010 – Persystent Software, developers of Persystent Suite, the world’s fastest recovery solution for restoring PC application and operating system files, today announced that the Butler Health System -- a community health system that provides healthcare services in locations throughout Western Pennsylvania -- will be using Persystent Suite to improve manageability of PCs in nursing stations and remote locations.
As with many healthcare organizations, the IT department of the Butler Health System (BHS) was faced with leveraging control and improving the availability of technology to the patient point of care. The systems they maintain are integral to healthcare delivery; therefore their continuous operation is critical. Threats from viruses, malware, spyware, non-compliant apps and configuration drift could compromise access and potentially limit availability to these critical systems. The risk increases in multi-user environments such as nurses stations. For that reason, BHS turned to the automated PC repair and compliance technology of Persystent Suite.
Persystent Suite automatically restores OS and application files ensuring PCs are always available and fully functional. It will always return the PC to its desired, clean recovery point even when the OS cannot engage -- on or off the network.
“Technology in healthcare is being used in patient care for a variety of purposes and is helping to achieve a higher quality of care. However, all of the benefits of technology are lost if the availability and reliability of the technology is compromised,” says Joe Loughry, CEO, Persystent Software. “The self-healing repair technology of Persystent Suite will protect the PCs throughout BHS to keep mission-critical applications running consistently and smoothly.”
The IT team at BHS will benefit tremendously by:
- Ensuring 24/7 PC availability
- Reducing support calls that require a desk side visit
- Minimizing damage from potential security breaches or degraded performance in multi-user environments
Persystent Suite is particularly well suited for IT departments in healthcare because it targets the pain points that are inherent in hospital settings, including exceptionally low ratio of IT staff to PC end users and 24/7 computer uptime requirements. PCs located in virtually every hospital setting, from administrative offices, to emergency rooms, to patient rooms can be repaired automatically or on demand with a simple reboot.
