“Since the inception of a patient from OPD to discharge after treatment, the whole process is run through automation. Once a patient ID is created, the history is maintained even if they come after three or four years – whether it’s payments, medical insurance, medicine, diet charts, and food. While serving a world-class healthcare service provider, we understand what it takes to ensure every single patient to be well treated. We need to have the most motivated team, close monitoring, and governance,” says Prateek Garg, Founder, Progressive Infotech.

“Progressive Infotech majorly helped Medanta in decreasing the response time through ITIL Compliant Service Desk, introducing new processes, following Zero Defect approach and automating the monitoring of network devices. Medanta is scaling its infrastructure and investing more on automation,” adds Garg.

With Progressive Infotech’s expertise in asset management that covers over 2,000 assets, Medanta has seen a rapid increase in FCR through call recording and audits. Progressive Infotech’s support is further extended to data centre and network management of firewall, switch, VoIP, VMs, Windows and Linux servers and VIP support – with dedicated onsite service to a specified user group.

Rajiv Sikka, CIO, Medanta Hospital, says, “The stakes are high in healthcare. We wanted to be 100 per cent sure to trust infrastructure managed services to a firm that has the experience and expertise, and would free up our technology department to focus on other strategic initiatives. Progressive Infotech stood tall amongst various IMS vendors with proven expertise in hybrid infrastructure managed services. IT managed services provided by Progressive Infotech have relieved pressure on us, resulting in access to greater efficiencies, reduction in operating costs and improved services.”
