Five years ago, most of you were not sending X-Ray images to your radiology service, looking at lab results, sending emails and working online with vendors, researching symptoms and treatments for your patients..., AND (taking a breath here) allowing your staff and clients to use Facebook, Twitter, Google, Chat, YouTube, Netflix, or to use your office wireless connection to access the Internet via their phones and tablets.
You can no longer treat your Internet connection as a luxury. We are at the age when business does not function without the real-time interconnections we share via the Internet. Oh - and our personal lives whether at home or while working is completely entwined with the Internet.
Metron is now a product and a service that utilizes the Internet for image sharing and collaboration, technical support, and software updates. You rely on Metron to send images to specialists and colleagues. Metron depends on a reliable and fast Internet connection to get the job done.
Your slow Internet may have a surprising culprit - it is the same speed today as it was when you signed up for the service several years ago. Many Internet services including your residential cable modem and your cell phones keep increasing their speeds every year for the same base rate. Find out what you are using and consider a change that gives you today's speed and will keep up with the market speeds year after year.
Today's Internet is like "power" - most of us can barely function without it. Make sure you have the speed and reliability you really need.
