The very first step to solving most problems is research. Whether Google-ing “how-to” instructions for a home improvement project or reading reviews to choose the perfect gym, the goal is to learn from those that have succeeded before.

A history of IT outsourcing evolves to a future of efficient insourcing
For over 120 years, Agnesian HealthCare has provided health services to residents across Wisconsin through a collection of respected hospitals, medical centers, clinics, laboratories and senior assisted living centers. The health services provider has an interesting IT history. Up until three years ago, Agnesian HealthCare maintained an outsourced model for IT operations. In an effort to deliver better service to its end-users—spanning from doctors, nurses and support staff to patients and their families—Agnesian’s CIO, Nancy Birschbach, made the decision to insource IT, bringing EasyVista on as its service desk software solution. Centralizing ITSM activity through EasyVista has been a game-changer, resulting in huge benefits:
All of Agnesian HealthCare’s hard work paid off when in November of 2015, Healthcare IT News named the healthcare provider to its list of the Best Hospital IT Departments. Agenesian intends to continue providing the best service delivery possible to its customers. What’s next? The team is interested in creating more automated workflows to reduce manual tasks and accelerate service outcomes.
