BroadSource TEM solution implemented at UPMC

BroadSource, Inc. (www.broadsource.com), the experts in telecom expense management (TEM), announced today that its solution has been selected by Prodigo Solutions (www.prodigosolutions.com) to be part of its supply chain healthcare offering. "Telecom expense management is an effective solution for today's healthcare organizations," says BroadSource CEO, Steven Neel. "Since they have extremely complex and costly telecommunications needs and have been hit hard by the economy, healthcare organizations are increasingly seeking new technology solutions for operating more efficiently while shaving costs in ways that don't compromise patient care."

Prodigo Solutions was launched by UPMC, an integrated global health enterprise and one of the nation's leading non-profit health systems. Prodigo Solutions provides best-in-class technology solutions and services for healthcare organizations based upon its extensive industry experience. The ProdigoTEM solution, powered by BroadSource, has been successfully implemented at UPMC. "UPMC has over 2,800 wireless devices across its organization and needed to gain more visibility and control," explains Jack Colletti, CEO of Prodigo Solutions. "UPMC's TEM solution now automates many formerly manual processes for managing wireless expenses, invoices, usage and inventory. Prodigo Solutions will take what we've learned from the growing success story at UPMC to help other healthcare organizations achieve their cost reduction goals," adds Colletti.

The BroadSource TEM solution is currently installed at two of the top 13 healthcare providers. BroadSource's Neel says, "We are seeing a considerable increase in activity within the healthcare industry as more organizations look for new ways to gain control of an ever-expanding telecom landscape. BroadSource's TEM solution is ideal because it is budget-neutral and provides immediate cost savings and operational efficiencies without sacrificing patient care. It's exactly what healthcare organizations need in these tight economic times."
