Services
Quadnet offers a variety of services related to IT to suit the many different needs of different clients.
Interim or Virtual IT Executive
If your organization is between CIOs or simply not in need of a full time IT Executive, The QuadNet Group can fill the gap. We can step in, get up to speed quickly and provide dynamic leadership to your existing staff. Often, our clients retain us for 6-12 months to put the IT house in order before hiring permanent staff. Other companies find that they simply do not have the need for a full time executive position in the IT area. The QuadNet Group can provide extremely valuable leadership for 3-22 days per month.
Contact us for a Proposal for an Interim CIO.
Strategic planning
We can work with executive level staff to create or refine a long term strategic vision for the use of Information Technology in the enterprise. We are very comfortable taking on the role of "trusted advisor" within your organization. Often, this strategic planning role takes place during the interim period when the hospital is between CIOs. This period offers a perfect opportunity to reevaluate the role of information technology and how it can be used to advance the business goals of the enterprise.
Technology recommendation/contract review
Let us audit proposals from vendors to secure the most favorable terms and conditions. We can suggest cost savings measures and strategic sourcing options. We can help you to identify trends and differentiate from fads. Working with us will ensure the most appropriate computer hardware and software for your business.

Network stabilization and standardization
The principals at The QuadNet Group have achieved tremendous successes for their clients by taking existing networks and refining the design and setup for maximum system availability. From the desktop, to the server, to the cabling to the data lines we can typically achieve 99.999% uptime for our clients.
Project Management
Unfortunately, poorly managed computer-related projects are the norm rather than the exception. We can take even the most difficult project and work with our clients to create measurable success metrics, realistic budgets and sensible timelines. We then use time honored project management techniques and our own extensive experience to ensure project success.
Staff mentoring/knowledge transfer
Unlike other consultants, our goal is to foster a sense of independence in our clients. Let The QuadNet Group mentor your existing staff and elevate their ability to achieve. We will freely share any or all of our techniques and knowledge with your internal staff.
ePolicy creation
Our experience has shown us that, in many organizations, there are few if any policies or procedures surrounding the use of Information Technology. This lack of clear boundaries is often at the root cause of many computer system problems. In addition, employees acting without corporate direction in this area can leave your hospital exposed to a variety of threats to profitability including software license violations, exposure to computer viruses and sexual harassment lawsuits. We can work with upper management and Human Resources to create effective user policies.
Security/Business continuity
As dependence on computer systems increase, so does the potential for disruption from hackers and crackers. Indeed, a single virus infection can literally bring an organization to a standstill. In addition, businesses without a disaster recovery plan are placing themselves at serious risk. The principals at The QuadNet Group can perform a complete security and disaster recovery audit and recommend solutions that are appropriate for your particular level of risk tolerance, budget and corporate culture.
