Under one "Umbrella," Tall Umbrella designs, delivers, and supports "complete unified communications systems" that not only enable mobility tablet use but also include all of the software and hardware required between the tablet and the high-speed line that enters your facility.

Included are Wi-Fi networks, cloud computing systems, internetworking systems, and the enterprise software that runs it all. Tall Umbrella's advanced software suite provides real-time reporting that allows managers to have instant access to information-providing an entirely new perspective for decision-making. No other firm brings all of these complex technologies together into one, all-inclusive offering.

Mobility Solutions Offer "First-Month" Savings.

Systems that provide the ability for staff to become fully mobile are proven to provide significant value for the bottom line—and for intrinsic patient care benefits. Conclusive time-motion studies conducted by major healthcare firms and independent third parties show savings ranging from $75,000 to $150,000 per facility per month, assuming the facility cares for 80 to 145 patients. These measurable improvements in productivity and patient care outcomes extend to accuracy rates as well as ancillary savings in dozens of other areas. By lowering the cost of healthcare delivery and optimizing medical professionals' time simultaneously, patient care improves dramatically.

Although perhaps more difficult to measure on a balance sheet, metrics related to 'care at the bedside' improve instantly, and enable single entry of information at the bedside-increasing timeliness and completeness of vital, patient data.

Cloud Computing Delivers Clear-Cut Savings and Flexibility.

Software is undergoing a major shift, saving businesses 50-75% off what they would typically have had to pay. Companies are finding that cloud offerings also improve financial flexibility as they are a "pay-as-you-go" model. As new software becomes available, facilities using cloud offerings can change easily to address new needs with relative ease-while creating no new headaches for the IT team.

Tall Umbrella supports these goals like no other firm by delivering the most advanced—and comprehensive—cloud offering anywhere. Included under our "Umbrella" is a complete infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) offering providing a wide array of infrastructure choices that maximize user results—and minimize costs by scaling up and down according to your needs. Uniquely written on open source software, Tall Umbrella's low-cost, non-proprietary cloud serves our customers with both maximum savings and state of the art flexibility.

Build Versus Buy: Tall Umbrella Saves Over Building Systems In House.

Today, most IT managers are overworked and underappreciated. Even for the most skilled professionals, it is daunting to design, buy, deploy and support the comprehensive suite of products and services that enable cloud-supported, unified communications systems for mobile users. In our rapidly-changing world, IT professionals are tasked with learning new technologies-and then deploying those within weeks of the training. It is a very challenging endeavor.

Consider that since the leading mobile operating system, Android, was released in November of 2007, dozens of new versions of it have been released and thousands of applications running on it have been launched. Few teams can keep up with this rate of technical evolution unless it is their full-time focus. Tall Umbrella's goal is to mitigate the growing pressure on IT staff by taking "ownership" of the responsibility of the complex world of cloud computing, mobility and the internetworking that drives it all. Our systems are kept current with dozens of updates per month that benefit our customers. Keeping systems current is a large annual expense that is eliminated by using Tall Umbrella.

Tall Umbrella eliminates up-front costs; with us, there is no need to spend $400,000 to $800,000+ on sunk costs. Our cloud systems—and all other products and services—are bundled into one, flat, monthly fee that includes the entire suite of hardware and software your firm needs, as well as support and maintenance. Our predictable bill takes the guesswork out of expenses that could otherwise be significant. And since Tall Umbrella "owns" the hardware responsibility of the deployment, our customers no longer need to be concerned with the financial pressure of escalating hardware costs and rising proprietary software fees.
