After acquiring a few practices and growing its own business, CPA firm Sewell & Company planned to relocate their offices. Twenty-two employees' workstations and peripheral equipment needed to be moved to the new location about one mile away -- but distance was not the issue. "The scary part was taking all the computers down and wondering what was going to happen," said Tom Sewell, president of Sewell & Company. "It would have been costing me about $1,000 an hour if we were not back up and running. Computers are our lifeblood."

The move took place over a weekend. "Friday evening Eden Engineering took down the network and by Monday we were rocking and rolling," said Sewell. Additions were also made to the network during the relocation project, including high speed printers and more workstations. "We now have interoffice voicemail and a lot of new features that Eden Engineering has put in for us that makes us more efficient."

Following the move, Sewell & Company continued to grow. "We moved from 2,000 sq. ft to 6,000 sq ft and we are already out of space. New construction is under way and Eden Engineering is managing our network growth for us. "We are growing our network now, and Eden Engineering has been able to keep up with the growth."

Allied Healthcare Corporation
"Eden Engineering is doing everything that we don't know how to do."
Greg Koscs, Treasurer and Controller

Allied Healthcare Corporation is a provider of home healthcare services in south Florida, with operations in three counties. They are currently installing a fourth office, as they grow their business, which provides home healthcare, skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical social workers and home health aids - all in their customers' homes.

"We have multiple WANs connecting our various locations. The main functions of our network are patient charting, billing, accounts payable, payroll and human resources applications, and although we are very good at using applications, we really don't know what makes the system run -- that is what Eden Engineering does for us. They have us connected properly and everything up and running. Essentially they are our technical staff," said Greg Koscs, treasurer and controller of Allied Healthcare Corporation.

"We treat Eden Engineering as an extension of our staff," said Koscs "which certainly takes us out of the loop of needing to understand computers when what we do is healthcare - which is obviously the biggest plus for us."
