Business need

In its effort to expand the type of job opportunities it can provide for its rehab-clients, BWMK decided to expand into the IT services market, specifically, scanning and archiving data for large businesses. BWMK needed assistance in implementing an end-to-end IT infrastructure and new business processes to support its transition into IT services.

Solution

Together, IBM and BWMK evaluated and chose the right solutions, equipment and business processes for launching the new business. IBM set up the BWMK infrastructure, and then helped BWMK to pilot the first customer project, helping to fetch the paper documents from BWMK's customers, scan the documents, evaluate and adapt the data and hand the data and paper documents back to BWMK's customers.

Results

As a result of the implementation, BWMK has expanded its business model and can acquire new customers in a new market and provide more work for its rehab clients. In addition, BWMK has increased its revenue and is now able to provide new and more skilled jobs to 40 rehab-clients.
