EYT: Putting Dollars to Better Use

About EYT

EYT, a leading Microsoft Business Solutions® Partner, delivers the people, processes and technology that drive mid-market growth. Blending unique skills and experience with industry leading applications and tools, EYT professionals revitalize business processes, improve productivity and enrich the bottom line.

Challenge

EYT, a solutions integrator and managed services provider, sought to reduce travel expenses associated with meetings and training programs, while at the same time streamlining related communication processes. For example, LEADERS-one of EYT's most notable programs-is managed through a consortium of companies that need to meet regularly to discuss various business and technology issues. EYT was tasked with finding a cost-effective and efficient conferencing solution that didn't simply save them money, but supported EYT's value proposition of providing innovative, functional, easy-to-use and cost-effective business solutions over the Internet.

The Raindance Solution

Requiring a service that was easy-to-use, interactive and presented a seamless interface to internal and external users while being extremely reliable, EYT turned to Raindance. Raindance Web Conferencing Pro has played a critical role in training the various parties that are part of LEADERS, as well as clients, partners, vendors and other parties that regularly communicate with EYT. EYT and other members of the LEADERS group were able to easily share information and cut travel costs by up to 70% by leveraging such features as Application Sharing, Q&A and Polling.

Benefits

"Raindance has not only relieved budget restraints, but with such a drastic reduction in travel costs, EYT has been able to put those dollars to better use in furthering the growth of our business and improving our products and services." said Tim Hannon, Vice President of Sales. "We like working with Raindance because we share a mutual goal of delivering technology solutions that not only save our customers money, but provide true value over the long term."

About LEADERS

LEADERS (Lightweight Epidemiological Advanced Detection and Emergency Response System) is part of EYT's hosted medical surveillance applications group. As a comprehensive set of web-based software tools and data storage capabilities to support the collections, storage, analysis and distribution of critical sets of medical data, LEADERS aids with responding to disease outreach or covert biological attacks to the public or military forces. The program has been in high demand as a result of increased security measures and has been used in venues such as the Superbowl.
