NEW YORK, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis US,
an international IT solutions and managed services provider
(www.us.logicalis.com), announced today that CRN, a brand of The
Channel Company, has named Kim
Garriott, Principal Consultant, Healthcare Strategies, to
its list of 2017 Power 30 Solution Providers, an elite subset of
its prestigious annual Women of the Channel list.
CRN's editorial team selects Women of the Channel honorees based
on their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise and
ongoing dedication to the channel. The Power 30 Solution Providers
belong to an exclusive group drawn from this larger list: women
leaders in solution provider organizations whose vision and
influence are key drivers of their companies' success and help move
the entire IT channel forward.
Well-known throughout the field of healthcare IT, Garriott is
responsible for the development and expansion of the Logicalis
Healthcare Solutions professional services practice. Over the past
year, Garriott has helped Logicalis hone its consultative
healthcare IT business strategy, focusing on clients' most detailed
business practices and workflows to create IT solutions that will
deliver the business results they need and expect. Her wide array
of national – and recently, as a keynote speaker at HIMSS Middle
East, international – industry speaking engagements has
elevated Garriott's strong reputation as an expert in the field and
has expanded Logicalis' footprint in the healthcare IT market.
Garriott co-founded the HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Workgroup and
continues to serve as its co-chair today; she has been published in
The Journal of the American College of Radiology and The
Journal of Digital Imaging; and, prior to joining Logicalis,
designed and implemented the Cleveland Clinic's enterprise imaging
strategy, widely recognized as the most advanced enterprise imaging
program in the world.
"While healthcare CIOs are certainly interested in technologies
like telehealth and enterprise imaging that can optimize the
healthcare experience, there has been a significant shift in the
way enterprise IT leaders – healthcare or otherwise – view
technology as a whole. Technology, and in fact the entire function
of IT, is now strictly about meeting the organization's business
goals. In healthcare, that means relying on the significant
ways IT can enhance clinical workflows and business operations to
deliver better patient outcomes while keeping costs in check. And
we have to ask ourselves, as IT solution providers, how we can help
our clients meet those kinds of business objectives," Garriott
says. "That's why I am especially excited about being
recognized among the Power 30 on CRN's prestigious Women of the
Channel list this year; it means our message is resonating in the
market. Since taking a service-defined approach to IT and
developing a digital transformation strategy are quickly becoming
the cornerstones for success in virtually every vertical market
today, this is a change those of us in the channel must not only be
willing and able to identify, but one we must embrace. In IT, it's
our job to help CIOs better understand how a digitally driven
organization can deliver the results they're working toward and to
deliver the technology solutions that will support that
journey."
"These extraordinary executives support every aspect of the
channel ecosystem, from technical innovation to marketing to
business development, working tirelessly to keep the channel moving
into the future," says Robert
Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "They are developing
fresh go-to-market strategies, strengthening the channel's network
of partnerships and building creative new IT solutions, among many
other contributions. We congratulate all the 2017 Women of the
Channel on their stellar accomplishments and look forward to their
future success."
The 2017 Women of the Channel and Power 30 Solution Provider
lists will be featured in the June issue of CRN Magazine and online
at www.CRN.com/wotc.
