Webulant offers technology support services for a variety of industries, with a specialty in supporting the technology needs of the healthcare industry.  Our Internet expertise enables us to maximize Web technology in medical imaging, specifically its application in picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and teleradiology.  Early PACS designs attempted to reproduce the workflow of a film-based hospital practice and focused primarily on automating parts of the process. It was only later that the ever increasing amount of image data forced the issue of digitization, which in turn led to the idea of using networked computers (mainframes) to store and access information. After struggling for the past 20 years, plagued by hurdles of digital standards and measurable ROI, today the PACS adoption curve is rapidly accelerating. 2001 and 2002 were banner years for sales and installations of PACS, with most of the major vendors reporting record increases. PACS has radically reduced or eliminated film costs, storage space, and retrieval time. However intangibles benefits including the use of PACS as a transformational step in healthcare workflow cannot be understated. A fundamental shift has occurred in using information management as the core driver and facilitator of diagnostic imaging management. PACS have also been behind some of great gains in productivity achieved by physicians, technologists, and radiologists. Over time, the vision of PACS moved from its historical roots in radiology to a broader concept of the digital healthcare facility. Physicians can now have ready access to patient images, medical records and referral opinions from their desktop or PDA’s, with standards that have been further reinforced by the government initiatives; namely HIPAA and patient quality initiatives from Leapfrog1. Finally, as price / performance ratios increase, many outpatient clinics and imaging centers can now compete with some of the largest hospitals by offering patients the latest quality radiology care available. Designing, implementing and maintaining an organization's network can be the most daunting task facing any IT Manager.  Leveraging our relationships with Cisco, IBM, Dell and other hardware vendors, Webulant can bring the best possible combinations of knowledge and experience to your company's networking solution. Because networks are about serving your business, we invest in understanding your business environment, computing environment and the implications for your users when we address your network design and implementation.  Our level of involvement in the implementation and/or ongoing support of your company network will be tailored to meet your requirements and resource levels Network Support Agreements Webulant offers network support agreements for clients nation-wide and offers on-site network maintenance services to our clients in the Metro Atlanta and Miami-Dade/Broward County areas.  Typically, our clients contract with Webulant for a set number of hours per month for the ongoing support of both their company network and desktop support.  Having a set number of hours per month enables our clients to more easily budget network maintenance and enables Webulant to more accurately project revenue, a factor which makes it worth it to us to lower our hourly rates for those clients that elect to use a set number of hours per month.
