1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:05,010
This is Kestrel IT's proposal to run IT support for Ashby Dental Group.

2
00:00:05,010 --> 00:00:13,349
By the end, you'll know what problems it solves, what the service covers, how it starts, what it costs and what happens next.

3
00:00:13,699 --> 00:00:19,174
Ashby Dental has three clinics, 34 staff and no in-house IT.

4
00:00:19,174 --> 00:00:22,599
Last year the booking system was down for two days,

5
00:00:22,599 --> 00:00:26,104
and each lost day costs about nine thousand dollars.

6
00:00:26,104 --> 00:00:32,829
Meanwhile the practice manager spends around six hours a week on passwords, printers and suppliers.

7
00:00:33,179 --> 00:00:34,630
There's a bigger worry too.

8
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:38,807
Backups run, but it's easy to assume that means records are safe.

9
00:00:38,807 --> 00:00:44,558
In fact, a restore has never been tested, so nobody knows if the data could be recovered.

10
00:00:44,558 --> 00:00:47,510
And staff share logins at two front desks.

11
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:50,077
The proposal bundles five services.

12
00:00:50,077 --> 00:00:56,145
A help desk staff can phone or chat with, and round-the-clock monitoring of every computer and server.

13
00:00:56,145 --> 00:01:02,109
Security with individual logins and two-step sign-in, meaning a second check beyond the password.

14
00:01:02,109 --> 00:01:04,252
Nightly backups to two places.

15
00:01:04,252 --> 00:01:07,454
And monthly on-site visits to each clinic.

16
00:01:07,804 --> 00:01:10,246
Each service comes with concrete promises.

17
00:01:10,246 --> 00:01:16,748
When staff call the help desk, a person answers within 15 minutes, from seven to seven, Monday to Saturday.

18
00:01:16,748 --> 00:01:19,504
All 41 computers are watched around the clock.

19
00:01:19,504 --> 00:01:24,363
And if something serious happens, an engineer can be on site within four hours.

20
00:01:24,713 --> 00:01:26,282
Start-up takes six weeks.

21
00:01:26,282 --> 00:01:30,047
First, an audit of all three clinics, with a written report.

22
00:01:30,047 --> 00:01:36,941
In weeks three and four, the new logins and backup go live, one clinic at a time, outside opening hours.

23
00:01:36,941 --> 00:01:39,899
Week five opens the help desk with short training,

24
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:43,615
and week six brings the first restore test and a review meeting.

25
00:01:43,965 --> 00:01:50,866
The price is 85 dollars per staff member, so 2,890 dollars a month for all 34 staff.

26
00:01:50,866 --> 00:01:56,555
Add a one-time set-up fee of 4,200 dollars, and the first year comes to 38,880.

27
00:01:56,555 --> 00:02:00,056
It's fixed for 12 months with no hourly charges;

28
00:02:00,056 --> 00:02:04,560
new hardware is quoted separately at cost plus ten percent.

29
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:06,879
Now set that against the savings.

30
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,440
Avoiding two lost days a year is worth about 18,000 dollars.

31
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,308
Freeing the practice manager's six hours a week is worth about 9,400.

32
00:02:16,308 --> 00:02:23,209
Together that covers roughly 70 percent of the first-year cost, before even counting the risk to patient records.

33
00:02:23,559 --> 00:02:24,295
Why Kestrel?

34
00:02:24,295 --> 00:02:30,363
They already support 22 dental and medical practices, so they know the booking and imaging software.

35
00:02:30,363 --> 00:02:37,072
Last quarter their average answer time was six minutes, and 91 percent of problems were fixed on the first call.

36
00:02:37,072 --> 00:02:38,462
And there's no lock-in:

37
00:02:38,462 --> 00:02:40,778
you can leave with 30 days' notice.

38
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:42,379
Here's what happens next.

39
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:42,617
Dr.

40
00:02:42,617 --> 00:02:47,383
Ashby replies by 27 November to go ahead or suggest changes.

41
00:02:47,383 --> 00:02:52,244
Kestrel then sends the agreement and books the audit for the first week of January.

42
00:02:52,244 --> 00:02:55,756
Questions go to Marcus Oyelaran, the account manager.

43
00:02:56,106 --> 00:02:56,821
To recap:

44
00:02:56,821 --> 00:03:02,071
downtime, shared logins and untested backups are real risks today.

45
00:03:02,071 --> 00:03:10,145
Kestrel offers one fixed monthly service covering support, monitoring, security, backups and visits.

46
00:03:10,145 --> 00:03:17,198
It costs 38,880 dollars in the first year, with savings worth about 70 percent of that.

47
00:03:17,198 --> 00:03:19,712
The decision is due by 27 November.
