The Challenge

The national dental organization was expanding rapidly, but its connectivity management processes couldn’t keep up.

  • Too many vendors, too many invoices: With more than 300 internet service invoices each month, the five-person internal team was overwhelmed by billing and support management.

  • No centralized support model: Each location had a different provider and point of contact, making escalations and troubleshooting inconsistent and time-consuming.

  • High costs during Denovo buildouts: As the provider opened new locations, it struggled to manage rising installation costs and infrastructure requirements.

  • IT team stretched too thin: Instead of focusing on innovation, the internal team was stuck sourcing connectivity and managing vendors.

The Action

TailWind stepped in with a proven approach to streamline multi-location connectivity – and delivered impactful results in just 12 months. By consolidating billing and service management into a single point of contact, TailWind simplified operations across 1,800+ locations while generating over $50K in monthly savings ($600K annual savings) through vendor consolidation and optimized service plans.

The organization also avoided $800K in carrier buildout costs by leveraging TailWind's national provider relationships to identify cost-effective infrastructure alternatives without delaying expansion timelines. Since TailWind now handles connectivity sourcing, the dental provider's internal IT team was freed to focus on growth initiatives, ultimately transforming what was once an operational bottleneck into a competitive advantage.

The Results

With TailWind’s connectivity management, the dental organization was able to eliminate inefficiencies, cut costs, and scale with confidence.

  • The organization now manages connectivity for 1,800+ sites through a single provider – freeing internal teams from operational burdens.

  • By eliminating 300+ monthly invoices and replacing them with a single, consolidated bill, the finance team has significantly reduced administrative overhead.

  • Strategic growth efforts are no longer delayed by connectivity roadblocks, as TailWind proactively sources and manages services for each new site.
