Problem

Chamblee Ace Hardware was referred to us another Ace Hardware store to solve challenges with their IT infrastructure and printer performance. Their laptop was outdated and slow and was inadequate for employee access to important files and applications. Their printer network had antiquated software and limited RAM, causing loss of productivity, frequent paper jams and poor print quality.

  • Service their printers and replace the faulty hardware that was causing print errors.
  • Update their existing laptop and provide them with a new Dell Latitude 5520 laptop with Windows 10 and 8 GB of RAM, which would allow them to access files and applications from anywhere in the store.
  • Update their software and RAM on their five Dell OptiPlex 3050 computers, which would improve their speed and performance.
