Enabling new business processes is certainly the main benefit at our customer RehabCare(recently acquired by Kindred Healthcare). The deployment of 10,000 cloud-powered mobile devices to their national network of therapists has meant “nothing less than the transformation of our business,” according to former CIO Dick Escue.
