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. | |||

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. | |||
