Information technology service management (ITSM) tools streamline and regulate how IT services are delivered. ITSM tools include help-desk (e.g., ConnectWise Manage and ServiceNow) and monitoring software, providing smart ticketing capabilities and live system statuses, respectively. Unfortunately, Gartner Research reports that organizations tend to overbuy ITSM tools beyond their needs. For instance, organizations purchase unnecessary capabilities and features when adopting new ITSM technology.

Horizontal innovation refers to the inculcation of technological advancements in different industries and domains of human life. When we imagine how these life-changing technologies are poised to change our lives, at the beginning of their adoption curve, the future is somewhat filled with hopes and fears. Statisticians and logicians have shown their support for the induction of these technologies into our lifestyle – and rightly so.

Gartner Research provides insight into the healthcare industry, recommending robust clinical communication and collaboration (CC&C) solutions or technologies. OnPage is mentioned in Gartner’s latest CC&C guide, recognizing the organization for its digital scheduler, audit trails, automated alerts and live call routing capabilities. At its core, Gartner recommends OnPage to organizations looking to streamline clinical workflows and enhance team communications.

At OnPage, we communicate and interact with legal practices, understanding how their needs are changing, while helping them transform their operations. Through these conversations, we learned that an increasing number of practices look to transition to 24×7 after-hour communications, allowing potential and existing clients to reach legal practitioners (i.e., lawyers) at any time.

Physicians surveyed listed administrative tasks as a key cause of frustration and physician burnout. Accordingly, this results in workplace issues including, delays in communication, mishaps in surgery and monitoring failures. Fortunately, OnPage curated its HIPAA-compliant, clinical communications solution to help reduce physician burnout and improve care team collaboration, preventing dire consequences in the process.

As 2019 comes to an end, OnPage would like to re-inform MSP teams about the value and importance of offering a 24×7 support service. Twenty-four seven support ensures that client issues are quickly resolved by an after-hours support team. Though 24×7 support is a must-have offering, MSPs must first re-work their internal workflows and policies, ensuring that after-hours servicing is a pain-free venture.
