Since 1997, Charleston ENT & Allergy’s mission has been to serve the people and families of South Carolina with superior, comprehensive, and convenient care. Their commitment to these core values has allowed Charleston ENT & Allergy to expand from one to seventeen locations, and build their own nationally accredited surgical center, The Surgery Center of Charleston, as well as a state-of-the-art Sinus Institute.
eGroup assisted Charleston ENT & Allergy by completing a Technology Portfolio Optimization Assessment (TPOA) that allowed them to have the necessary building blocks to strengthen their technology operations. An optimized portfolio of technology investments is the driving force in accomplishing rapid digital transformation. An eGroup TPOA facilitates “shedding the weight” of underutilized technology and reinvesting the savings into technology and initiatives that drive innovation and are a fit for the task at hand.
InSite had been using Skype for Business for dial tone since 2013. “We’re a company who likes to embrace new technologies,” began Duffy, who could sense change was coming. “We know Microsoft is moving away from Skype, and we see the money they invest in Teams. Since we were already in Office 365, it made sense for us to retire what we could on-premises and shift calling to the cloud.”
For guidance, InSite turned to Enabling Technologies (a division of eGroup) their technology partner since 2014. Recalling that introduction, Duffy said “We had integrated Skype for Business just prior to me joining InSite. We had noticed that Enabling Technologies was Microsoft’s Communications Partner of the Year, which was very attractive to us.” Enabling evaluated InSite’s deployment and suggested improvements, “Once Enabling understood our Skype environment, we developed our partnership, and haven’t looked back since.”

The solution provided by eGroup was Rubrik, which excels in delivering data protection, search, analytics, archival and copy data management.
By moving to Nutanix and Lenovo, HGTC was able to eliminate latency and downtime in its Banner ERP platform, student registration system, and instructional applications. The hyperconverged solution is also much easier to manage and maintain, with the comprehensive visibility provided by Prism Central. The budget avoidance obtained from choosing Nutanix and Lenovo instead of refreshing the legacy systems was over $1M, enabling the development of new applications and solutions previously unavailable for the college.
Keeping state-of-the-art healthcare on the cutting edge of technology is a difficult feat. Advances and discoveries in healthcare are happening every minute of every day. The same is true in information technology. Computers emerged in healthcare in the early 1970s (Becker’s Health IT & CIO Review 2015) after legislation enacted Medicare reimbursement, but it wasn’t until the late 1970s that computers became widely used.

In the early minutes of a Saturday morning in April 2011, a water main broke below the streets of Columbia, S.C.
A $30 billion lending provider a few feet away from the break had over 1,200 servers in their basement Data Center. The massive subterranean flood destroyed the entire electrical subsystem beneath the building rendering it useless due to power loss.
