The Customer
Vital Dent offers Dental Services to customers in Spain, Portugal, Italy and the United States.

Currently the company has a total of 330 franchises in Spain with a work force of more than 1,700 medicine experts specialized in Stomatology and Odontology and more than 1,500 medical assistants. Vital Dent Clinics care for more than 1.5 million patients every year.

The Challenge
All Vital Dent clinics have a server where an averge of 8 PCs connect. Staff members use PCs for administrative tasks such as managing the appointment calendar or accounting, as well as medical tasks, such as patient history inquires. The server is responsible for storing critical information and centralizing the internet connection for the computers from each centre.

This topology makes a small local network whose management depends on Vital Dent’s Systems and Communications Department located in Madrid. That department provides dual Technical support: maintenance and support operations for unattended PCs and personalized support for customers with questions and problems they can’t resolve on their own.

Because Vital Dent’s staff is so large and hardware diverse and distributed, there are often many technical problems that require fast resolution in order for customers to be served and business to continue.

The Results
Vital Dent had already tried various Remote Support tools but they were unable to meet the requirements of both unattended and attended support. They all required a person to be in front of the computer being fixed. In addition, the Remote Support solutions tried by Vital Dent required software to be installed on all computers that would be supported. This was a time-consuming and costly task required technicians to travel to all Vital Dent locations.

NTRsupport fixed all that. Vital Dent elected to use the NTRsupport SaaS (Software as a Service) model, saving on implementation and administrative (server, security, etc.) overhead. With the SaaS model,  NTR hosts and assures all solution’s availability; NTRsupport is essentially a critical, trusted utility along with the telephone, internet connection, and electricity. It gave Vtal Dent a a fast return on investment and a quick and simple implementation.

The IRC module (Installable Remote Control) from NTRsupport also solved another problem: before Vital Dent used NTRsupport, an authorized person had to manually access the Systems Department every time one of the technicians needed to solve a problem from one of the 300 franchise servers. Now, using IRCs, the technicians from Vital Dent are able to access and control these machines without assistance from Madrid headquarters. And they are able to address the personal questions and problems of staff members as well.

 
NTRsupport adapts perfectly to our needs and our franchises now see their problems solved faster and with great ease. Besides that it is web based and requires no installation.
