Cost-Effective IT Platform Is a Welcome Guest at Upscale and Luxury Hotel Chain 2005-10-06 03:00:01

Wyndham International is a hotel chain renowned for offering personalized service and sumptuous amenities at its primarily upscale and luxury hotels. In 2000, Wyndham hired a new CTO whose arrival coincided with a decision to upgrade a large quantity of aging hardware. At the time, Wyndham purchased its systems from a local third-party technology integrator, who also configured and installed PCs and servers on site. To improve the procurement process - and lower costs - the CTO asked Miller's department to send out a request for proposal (RFP) for bids on standardized PC, notebook, and server platforms. Dell won the RFP in 2000 by demonstrating an efficient procurement model that accelerates deployment and allows Wyndham to avoid the cost of a third-party integrator.

Dell Case Study - Mount Royal College, Canada 2005-10-06 03:00:02

With a 25-year expansion well underway - and a potential shift towards becoming an undergraduate university by 2005 - Mount Royal College is preparing to keep pace with growing numbers of techno-savvy students who expect a leading-edge learning environment. Dell has been providing Mount Royal with computer technology since the two organizations partnered in 2001. Since then, its expertise and products have been used to create the Library computer lab (to which Dell donated 10 electronic notebooks) and improve existing support relationships. Dell technicians helped install more than 400 of the 1,000 computers needed in a new academic building within a limited timeframe.

Great Plains Locating Service 2005-10-25 03:00:03

Great Plains Locating Service (GPLS) is a utility locating service that pinpoints underground electrical conduit, gas lines and other utilities to ensure that people digging in the area don't damage them. GPLS needed a way to optimize field staff work time, eliminate offline data entry, and speed up the turnaround time on questions and information updates. GPLS rolled out a CDMA2000 1X data launch through U.S. Cellular. Each field technician now carries a Toshiba notebook - equipped with a Sierra Wireless AirCard 555 - running Korterra and TicketRx workforce management software.

QUALCOMM Case Study: Franchise Services 2005-10-25 03:00:03

Franchise Services Inc. (FSI) is a franchise management company providing business consultation to more than 900 Sir Speedy and PIP quick printing locations. FSI employs Business Management Consultants (BMCs) who work in the field assisting Sir Speedy and PIP franchisees with operations and growth strategies. Helpful information such as financials, forecasting, growth modeling and preferred vendor lists reside on FSI's extranet, so real-time access to this data is a powerful consulting tool. The BMCs traditionally waited to use hotel dial-up or T-Mobile hot spots upload their meeting data, often having to transcribe 'yellow pad' notes in the process. To solve the issue, FSI tested a wide-area 1xEV-DO data solution through Verizon Wireless and Zumasys, a wireless integrator.
