Multi-state urgent care provider selects Windstream SD-WAN to simplify its network and drive expansion
August 15 2017 - 9:30AM
Windstream (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network
communications, today announced that a national urgent care
provider has selected the company to provide managed SD-WAN, fiber
and broadband services that will create a more efficient, flexible
and cost-effective network among its more than 60 locations
nationwide. The company selected Windstream following a competitive
review of multiple national service providers.
“Healthcare providers face an incredibly challenging IT
environment where they must minimize errors, efficiently manage
practices, store large amounts of patient data offsite and comply
with government regulations,” said Joseph Harding, executive vice
president and enterprise chief marketing officer of Windstream.
“Windstream’s SD-WAN solution is transforming how healthcare
providers design and manage their networks, and it gives them
increased network agility, scalability and optimized performance,
all while also optimizing costs.”
The national urgent care provider also selected Windstream based
on the strength of its local support team. Integrating a dedicated
sales engineer, account executive, customer advocate and project
manager, the team ensures that healthcare customers have the
design, implementation and ongoing support they need to run their
businesses efficiently.
“Healthcare providers are increasingly selecting Windstream for
their advanced communications needs because of our ability in
meeting their unique requirements to improve the overall patient
experience,” Harding added. “We are also becoming the first choice
of many healthcare providers because of our ability to support
current and emerging technology needs at all levels — from small,
rural clinics to the largest urban hospital campuses.”
In addition to SD-WAN, Windstream offers a full suite of
advanced network communications and technology solutions like
UCaaS, Ethernet, Wavelength, MPLS and dedicated high-speed
Internet along with voice and data services such as VoIP access and
SIP trunking. Windstream also offers managed services, cloud
connectivity and network security services designed to help
businesses increase productivity and improve operational costs. For
