Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates
Like many growing medical practices, Atlanta Gastroenterology was in a position where their growth was outpacing their current service request process and simply not sophisticated enough for a growing number of employees, in multiple departments.
With ownership of requests becoming more confusing as more emails flooded their inbox, the team decided it was time for an ITSM solution.
From the top down, we need to make sure we support our AGA employees, so they can continue to deliver world class care to our patients.
