A Case Study from a Client’s Perspective
What We Are About at Aspire UK
Aspire UK has spent over 20 years providing quality clinical and complex care for vulnerable residents across the Leicestershire area, in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. We strive to help people maintain their independence no matter their abilities and support them in doing the things that bring joy and fulfilment. For us to reach our goal it’s vital that our IT systems are fast, reliable, and up to date at all times.
What Was Going Wrong for Us?
Originally the systems we had in place for our care staff were linked to three servers based in our city-centre office. If a server went down in the night, our care team no longer had access to our patient’s vital information, we found ourselves rushing to the office to get it back up and running as quickly as possible. Our priority is to provide our patients with compassionate quality care day or night, and with our previous IT company’s customer service hours, we found that our duties were halted with very few options to progress.
We knew as healthcare professionals we could not accept anything less than a 99% uptime for our staff members to access our systems and portals properly and take care of the vulnerable people on our watch. It was time to look for a solution. We found Your-IT Department amongst a few other companies that appeared to be a good fit for us, it was important that we properly weighed our options as we had a duty of care to our patients and ultimately, we found that Your-IT checked all our boxes was the perfect fit for our industry.
What Your IT Department Offered
Your IT was able to offer us a cloud-based solution that offered us minimal downtime, with backup servers that helped our team access our portals with ease anytime, any day. The company took on full ownership and responsibility of our databases and allowed us to focus our attention back on what mattered most, the people we help. We could rest assured knowing that if a problem were to arise, Your-IT would be available to help us morning, noon or night, any day of the week.
The IT team have been available to help us with any problem of any size, they eliminated the need to purchase multiple licenses such as Microsoft for our staff computers, which streamlined our process when updating and replacing our technology.
At this point, we also wanted to re-evaluate and secure our cyber essentials accreditation, Your IT was able to provide everything we needed and made the entire process simple, ensuring we were fully compliant with any and all guidelines.
How This Helped Us
Working with Your IT has provided us with the facilities and reassurance to provide the best possible quality care for our local community. Their availability, eagerness to support us, and simplify our processes have allowed us the freedom to direct our attention back towards not only our patients but ourselves also. Gone are the days of rushing to the office at all hours of the night to reboot servers! One of our core values as part of the healthcare industry is reliability, which is exactly what we expect from our IT service provider.
Our Thoughts
Your-IT has gone above and beyond to support us in reaching our goals as a business and care provider. The team are reliable and professional, and the response time for any issues has improved dramatically since making the change.
We wouldn’t change it for the world.
