"We've installed Service Desk in more than 30 different hospitals, and in every single case, have extremely satisfied customers who tell us CareTech's healthcare IT help desk has elevated the performance and output of their hospital IT departments," said Karl Graham, senior director of Service Desk, CareTech Solutions.
