Citrix Networking Solutions Empower Workplace
Rehabilitation Provider to Better Treat Patients in Remote
Areas
Citrix (NASDAQ:CTXS) today announced national workplace
rehabilitation provider Rehab Management has deployed Citrix
technology to better deliver critical health management and
psychological services across Australia. With 210 employees working
across 56 offices and in the field, Rehab Management needed a
solution to resolve connectivity issues impacting the quality of
services provided by its regional and remote offices. The
organization also wanted to boost employee morale and productivity
by enabling them to work regardless of location and device.
“Adopting a cloud-based IT strategy is a critical part of our
plan to become Australia’s number one occupational rehabilitation
provider. With a large number of potential customers living in
remote areas who are unable to physically travel into more
populated areas for treatment, we needed to enhance our existing
infrastructure to rapidly deliver effective treatment helping
people get healthy and back to work,” said Boris Kotevski, National
IT Manager, Rehab Management.
The Citrix solution was chosen over competing options as Citrix
was the only vendor capable of implementing a virtual wide area
network (WAN) that could eliminate branch connectivity complexities
affecting its remote and regional offices.
Having previously been unable to replicate the same user
experience in regional offices, Rehab Management – using Citrix
NetScaler SD-WAN and Citrix XenDesktop – can remotely publish
applications replicating the Windows environment from its Sydney
Head Office to employee devices operating in remote areas
throughout the country, improving the quality of services provided
to patients and increasing mobility amongst its workforce.
Deploying Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN, Rehab Management replaced
traditional network services in the WAN by building multiple
virtual networks on inexpensive internet services to deliver
simple, secure network services to each branch office and a better
experience to internal users. The NetScaler SD-WAN solution also
allowed Rehab Management to replace its Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) connections with an asymmetric digital subscriber
line (ADSL), providing the company with 10 times the amount of
bandwidth at a fraction of the cost.
“MPLS is the old way of providing corporate interoffice
connectivity – it is slow to provision, slow to react to the pace
of business and prohibitively expensive,” said Kotevski. “NetScaler
SD-WAN allows our business to immediately dial-up and down network
speeds, which provides bandwidth to support new technologies and
allows us to reallocate IT operations budget towards more critical
initiatives.”
“The additional enhancements in the latest release of the
NetScaler SD-WAN platform are compelling, and the zero-touch
service with the new lower-cost appliance allows us to expand
quickly as we add additional locations within our network. Tackling
the connectivity issue at its core also means no office is at a
disadvantage, with cost-effective tools that complement our
existing IT infrastructure empowering employees to do their job
remotely.”
“Rehab Management has traditionally been a strong workplace
rehabilitation player, and if we’re going to fulfill our business
objective of becoming the market leader, we’ll continue to do more
with Citrix when it comes to technology and innovation. Without
Citrix we don’t have an IT system. Without an IT system, we don’t
have a business,” added Kotevski.
Phil Caleno, acting Senior Director of Networking Sales in
Australia/NZ at Citrix said, “Building upon our strong
relationship, Rehab Management is the first customer in Australia
to deploy Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN on this level and scale. Their
results have been immediate with employees successfully operating
more productively in a mobile and flexible working
environment.”
“Injured regional and remote workers across Australia want to
rejoin the workforce. Rehab Management has a clear mission and
provides admirable services to support them,” said Caleno.
“Leveraging our expertise in application delivery, Citrix will
continue to work with Rehab Management so that their team can spend
less time in administrative systems and more time helping their
customers rehabilitate.”
