In December 2007, Panyu Hospital began refreshing their aging collection of 800 desktop PCs with new PCs with Intel® Core™2 processors with vPro™ technology. The hospital then studied the return on investment (ROI) realized by deploying the PCs across their 19 sites. Based on the results of their investigation,
Panyu Hospital is excited about the advanced performance of the PCs, and is particularly pleased with the way the built-in remote management capabilities in the PCs are helping their IT department improve centralized services. The hospital has already seen service costs go down and revenue losses decline.
For example, based on their ROI investigation, the hospital projects that the cost of inventories will drop 99%, from $2,880 to $27 per inventory. With a positive ROI of 27% projected over five years,
Panyu Hospital is eager to complete their full deployment and activation of PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology by 2009.
