Case Study

Multi-Site Desktop Support for a Healthcare Enterprise in China

Since April 2019, our Dispatch team has supported medium and small sites for a healthcare enterprise across 17 China cities. The ongoing engagement combines a 2-business-day service requirement, customer-provided resident engineers at large sites, and approximately 4,300 desktop support tickets handled through a structured field-support workflow.

Project Context

A hybrid support model for different site sizes

The customer operates a distributed site network that cannot be supported with one identical staffing model. Large sites retain a customer-provided resident engineer presence, while medium and small sites use coordinated Dispatch support when onsite work is required.

  • Customer: A healthcare enterprise
  • Project period: April 2019-present
  • Operating model: Customer-provided resident engineers at large sites; GreenITService Dispatch support at medium and small sites
  • Dispatch coverage: 17 cities across China: Kunming, Lanzhou, Nanchang, Nanjing, Nanning, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenyang, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Tianjin, Urumqi, Wuhan, Xiamen, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, and Zhuhai
  • Service requirement: 2 business days (2BD)
  • Reported ticket volume: Approximately 4,300 tickets

Delivery Challenge

Extending onsite support beyond the largest sites

Healthcare operations often depend on reliable user access, local coordination, and predictable issue handling across sites with very different staffing levels.

The largest sites were supported day to day by resident engineers provided by the customer. Our responsibility was the medium and small site network, where a Dispatch engineer was assigned when a ticket required onsite assistance.

The challenge was to maintain a consistent support experience across 17 cities while working within a 2-business-day service requirement. A smaller site may not have a full-time engineer, a local IT contact, or the same access arrangements as a major site. Each dispatch therefore required accurate ticket information, local coordination, engineer availability, and a clear completion path.

The model kept the customer’s existing resident support structure in place while extending field coverage to the locations where a flexible Dispatch response was more practical than permanent onsite staffing.

Dispatch Workflow

How a ticket moves from request to onsite completion

A repeatable workflow helps the central support team and local engineers work from the same ticket, site, and service information.

  1. Review the ticket to confirm the user, device, site, issue type, and business impact
  2. Determine whether remote troubleshooting is sufficient or onsite work is required
  3. Confirm the site address, local contact, access requirements, working hours, and visit constraints
  4. Assign an engineer with the required location and technical skills
  5. Complete the onsite checks, repair, replacement, configuration, or user assistance included in the ticket
  6. Record work notes, device details, remaining risks, and any required follow-up
  7. Escalate unresolved hardware or application issues to the appropriate internal team or vendor

Desktop Support Scope

A consistent support path for hardware and software issues

The Dispatch model connects central ticket handling with local technical work while preserving the customer’s escalation and approval boundaries.

The support scope can include desktop and laptop troubleshooting, operating system assistance, standard business application support, peripheral checks, device replacement coordination, and basic connectivity diagnosis. The engineer follows the approved procedure available for the ticket and records the result for the central support team.

When a hardware issue requires manufacturer service, the onsite findings and device information can be used to support vendor escalation. When the issue concerns a specialist application, the ticket is handled according to the available support documentation and ownership model. Issues outside the approved desktop scope are routed to the appropriate application, infrastructure, or vendor team.

This separation keeps the Dispatch team focused on the work it is authorized to perform while giving the customer a clear record of what was checked onsite and what still requires specialist action.

Engagement Results

A scalable field-support layer for 17 cities

The engagement provides a repeatable way to extend desktop support to medium and small healthcare sites without duplicating the resident-engineer model at every location.

Since April 2019, the Dispatch team has supported the customer’s medium and small sites across 17 China cities and handled approximately 4,300 tickets within the project’s 2-business-day service requirement. The operating model connects customer resident engineers, central ticket handling, local contacts, field engineers, and escalation teams.

  • Ticket triage and onsite dispatch coordination
  • Site access, local contact, and visit planning records
  • Engineer work notes and completion summaries
  • Hardware and specialist-application escalation details
  • Follow-up actions for unresolved tickets
  • Operational visibility across 17 Dispatch cities
