The Challenge |
| |
A mid-sized management company was in dire need of a major computer overhaul to enable it to keep pace with evolving industry standards and escalating customer demands. The company needed to source nearly 6,000 personal computers (PCs), laptops and notebook computers and had only 60 days to accomplish the task. Due to limited administrative resources and budget, making this necessary technology upgrade a reality was a challenging and costly feat.
