“The Champlin clinic staff is small, but our Cisco collaboration tools enable us to give
patients a more complete experience in a single appointment by leveraging resources

Doctors, nurses, clinicians, and staff took to the Cisco collaboration tools immediately,
recognizing the potential for greater productivity and more immediate care. “Employees
have the sense that we’re empowering them with cutting-edge tools,” says Coller. “They’ve
been very savvy about finding ways to use Cisco collaboration tools to serve patients
better. They can communicate effectively wherever they are, instead of spending valuable
time locating other staff members and manually exchanging information.”

The softphone capability in Cisco Jabber provides mobile and traveling employees with
the full experience of communicating and collaborating from their office. IT users
benefit from the ability to use Jabber on multiple devices to communicate effectively

“Cisco collaboration tools are helping us enhance and redirect time back into patient
care,” says Flaschenriem. “That’s exactly what we’ve done at Champlin and will continue
to look for opportunities across the organization. When we hear from our users that
