Novell Case Study: Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit

Overview The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit serves the County of Prince Edward, Hastings County, Quinte West and Belleville, Ontario. One of the biggest IT challenges for the unit is providing timely information access to a geographically dispersed and partially mobile workforce. The health unit also lacked a centralized directory to manage user access and safeguard data security. As a solution the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit created a fault-tolerant infrastructure across all its locations with Novell Open Enterprise Server and Novell GroupWise, reducing administration time by 30 percent and travel costs by 50 percent for its mobile workforce.
