 The ProConnectResponseCenter not only provides essential service tools, but also maximizes the customers resource utilization and operational efficiencies through proactive equipment management, stated Greg Blackmore, vice president and general manager of STERIS Services. This is crucial since customers are telling us that high equipment uptime is essential to the success of their operations.
