Our current active contracts include CDW, Dell, AT&T, PC Connection, Verizon Wireless, SHI International, Insight Direct, GHX Services, Scorpion Internet Marketing, Sprint Nextel, and more. In addition, you’ll have access to local contracts that have been negotiated via OSU Wexner which may also have additional cost savings that can be extended to your organization.

Several of our partners allow members leverage secondary physical data centers to improve your infrastructure for a colocation model, off-site data backups, and disaster recovery 

In partnership with Schneider Downs, we offer a variety of security services to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture. Services include the following; 

• Network Penetration Testing 
• Web Application Testing 
• Wireless network Testing 
• Firewall assessments 
• Phishing/Vishing campaigns 
• Internal/External vulnerability scans 
• Risk Assessments 
• Technical consulting and remediations with hosted risk management platform

• Business Impact Analysis/Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery plan development 
• Third Party Risk Management 

We do a deep-dive review into your existing contracts to ensure that the terms align with your vendor’s offering. This service typically validates the legitimacy of the vendor’s offering and identifies potential cost savings. In addition, OSHN IT may identify opportunities for new contracts that will reduce costs compared to your current contracts. 

In partnership with Managecast, we monitor and ensure your organization’s data is securely backed up and able to be recovered in the event of a disaster or security incident.

In partnership with UniPrint, we manage and support your multi-functional devices, such as MFDs and copiers, by providing usage reports and ensuring they’re the right fit for your environment. Our printer maintenance program includes maintenance, labor, parts, toner, and cartridge recycling. Just add paper—UniPrint will handle the rest.  

Let us be your partner in problem-solving. Leveraging our scale and experience, OSHN IT works with individual organizations to evaluate their IT challenges and offer potential solutions.

Rather than making a full-time hire, members may have the opportunity to contract OSHN IT staff or work with third-party vendors to augment their IT department.

Providing opportunities to connect with other organizations in meaningful ways continues to be one of our members’ most valuable benefits. For IT specifically, members can attend our quarterly CIO Forums for IT Leaders that promote collaboration and problem-solving for the challenges of the IT Healthcare Industry. Stay on top of new technology reviews, discover new, vetted vendors, and connect with other people in the healthcare IT world.
