Customer testimonial: JJWild [now a Perot Systems Company] delivers for Halton Healthcare Services (HHS)
Halton Healthcare Services Inc, (HHS), part of LHIN 6 Mississauga, Ontario, is a multi-site healthcare organization serving the communities of Milton, Oakville, Clarkson, and Halton Hills.
During the February, 2007 HIMSS conference, Vert Rayner, Director of IT at HHS approached JJWild [now a Perot Systems Company] with a dilemma: HHS was running out of disk space. They had acquired new servers and a storage area network, but the scheduled resources that Vert had arranged for the configuration and data migration were suddenly not available. Vert was given last minute notification at the conference that his project timeline would have to be pushed back well beyond the date when disk space would run out.
Within a day, JJWild provided HHS with a quote for the professional services required for the install of the new servers, a storage area network, and MEDITECH VPN (which provides MEDITECH remote support connectivity), and confirmed the scheduled date for an engineer to arrive onsite. The JJWild engineer was onsite the following week, and the upgrade was completed smoothly and on time.
Vert commented, “I was very pleased with JJWild's quick response and their understanding of our sense of urgency. They have a large pool of engineering talent to draw from and were able to quickly adjust their schedule and provide quality people on very short notice. We were duly impressed with the way JJWild stepped up and helped us out of this crisis. On the basis of this experience, JJWild will be the company we approach first in the future for all MEDITECH technology purchases.”

Customer Engagement: JJWild’s [now a Perot Systems Company] Consulting Services Group Delivers for Norman Regional Hospital
Norman Regional Hospital is a multi-facility system in comprised of a 325-bed acute care facility, inpatient rehab unit, outpatient clinics, and physician office practices. Back in the beginning of 2006, the organization began a large IT initiative to implement the full suite of MEDITECH applications, including MEDITECH’s Advanced Clinical System. It was immediately obvious to Dr. Brian Yeaman, Director of Physician Informatics, and others at Norman Regional that they were going to need an outside consultancy firm to help them oversee the project. Dr. Yeaman felt that whoever managed the task of this new implementation would have to be a dynamic and strong leader who was diligent to every detail and profoundly organized. Norman Regional chose JJWild’s [now a Perot Systems Company] Consulting Services Group to help them with their conversion and implementation of their new MEDITECH HCIS.
JJWild was delighted to receive a wonderful letter of appreciation recently from Dr. Yeaman who stated that he can proudly say Norman Regional received everything they asked for from JJWild’s Consulting Services Group. Dr. Yeaman also commented that “Our JJWild Consultant (Susan Trianosky) was a strong and decisive leader whose leadership and drive to the finish line is what helped keep the teams moving and staying on target throughout the process. Her organization and attention to detail is what kept the project on target and her vast knowledge and understanding of the subject matter was impressive by any standards.”
The project is still running strong and is scheduled to go live in February first 2008. We are delighted to be working with Norman Regional to meet this goal.
