“We’ve definitely seen a savings in our monthly phone charges. In the long term, we’ve also reduced network maintenance costs by having only one network as opposed to two.”
- Rita Denison, HIS/Telecom Manager, Sturgis Hospital

Keep PCs and servers running smoothly…automatically
LANCare is Appia’s managed service that takes over the day-to-day maintenance of desktops and servers, freeing IT staff to focus on more mission-critical projects.
To implement LANCare, we install an agent on each desktop or server. Software updates, system checks, and other tasks are then completed automatically according to a predetermined schedule.
For example, each week, the agent checks hard drives to see if they need to be defragmented. If they do, the agent does so automatically. If Symantec, Spybot, and other programs need updating, the updates are downloaded and installed. Once the updates are in place, a scan is run. LANCare can also provide proactive alerts for CPU, memory and hard drive capacity.
Even complex and time-consuming tasks like software deployment can be handled by LANCare. The application is simply added to the list of approved applications, uploaded to a network server, and downloaded automatically to each device. LANCare can also be used for device, system, and software inventories.
