FusionStorm Helps UMMA Community Clinic Which Provides Healthcare to the Poor
After being made aware of functionality problems in the UMMA Community Clinic clinic’s telecom system, a team of engineers from FusionStorm recommended that the clinic use a Cisco UC520 system to replace its existing environment, resolve their issues, and provide the added functionality that would complement planned growth and enable further operational maturity. When other fundraising efforts stalled, FusionStorm donated the $27,000 system and $9,000 in services.
