The Challenge
Adventist Health System, a healthcare organization with over 78,000 employees across 44 facilities in 10 states, was facing a significant challenge in managing their ordering processes. The system, which was primarily based on verbal and email orders, was proving to be inefficient and time-consuming. The IT department was spending excessive time handling a mix of paper form requests, verbal requests, and a flurry of follow-up emails for new equipment and business card requests. The process was not only cumbersome but also prone to errors and delays. The inaccuracies in the system often led to late deliveries of computer equipment and inaccuracies in business cards. The challenge was to find a solution that could automate this process, reduce errors, and free up the IT staff to focus on other critical tasks.
About The Customer
Adventist Health System is a healthcare organization based in the United States. The organization is committed to providing Christian healthcare and operates 44 facilities across 10 states. With over 78,000 employees, Adventist Health System serves 4.7 million patients annually. The IT department of the organization is responsible for maintaining clinical and business systems that provide a secure, effective, and integrated patient care delivery system across its many hospital campuses. Ensuring that new staff have the necessary computer hardware, software, and business cards is a critical task for the organization.
The Solution
The solution came in the form of the Nintex Platform for SharePoint. After exploring various options, the organization decided to adopt Nintex due to its seamless integration with SharePoint. The platform allowed non-tech users to easily initiate their orders by clicking a form on the SharePoint ribbon. Once a staff member completed the online business card request form built on the Nintex Platform, SharePoint would send an email and start the approval process for the request. The platform also provided a WYSIWYG display that allowed users to view their business card exactly as it would be printed, enabling them to correct mistakes before placing the order. Additionally, when a manager completed an online form for a new hire or an existing employee, the workflow would trigger IT staff to reallocate or order the requested computer hardware and software. The platform also allowed staff to access the system from home and open pages within its web view from their native employee mobile app.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
