Case Studies

1. Chromebooks (Customer saved $125/unit)

We have been testing Chrome Devices in production since their US-commercial launch in 2012 and have over 16,500 hours experience on them. One of our customer wanted Chromebooks with certain specifications. However, we worked with them to understand their use-case and designed the hardware specifications and provided them machines which provided them with superb performance and reliability while saving them $125 per machine. The hardware was designed to last 5 years, hence we provided them an exclusive 5 year onsite warranty with option for international carry-in warranty for their mobile workforce.

2. Windows-based OEM Desktop (Higher performance, reduced downtime)

A mobility customer was using conventional OEM desktop computers in their office and the IT had to spend significant time and effort in managing downtime, repairs, continued maintenance, and performance issues in machines that were only a 3-4 months old. We got involved, understood their use-case, designed custom-spec machines for them, and provided them the machines to fulfill their new requirements and upgrade certain existing users. The result was a reduction in boot time from 45-50 seconds to under 7-10 seconds, performance increase by over 4X and a WOW! factor for the user, power consumption reduction by 50% hence less heat-load on air-conditioning, smaller and integrated form factor for a clutter-free desk, paired with our premium installation service which further eliminates accidental damage by the user and reduces unintentional wear and tear of cables and accessories. The machines have been running since without complaints. And, the customer enjoys a low-TCO and a high return on their investment. Not just that, happy employees and a fast and highly reliable machine means high output from the workforce. Overall, it is a very big win for them. Now they can focus on growth rather than day-to-day downtime management, user frustration, and escalations.

3. Computer for Accounting (Low cost, highly reliable)

Accounting is usually a critical activity for all businesses. Even the downtime of a few days can adversely affect the operations of a company besides impacting sale, purchase, and other transactions which can affect the bottomline or sale/production targets. One of our customer wanted a low-cost but highly reliable computer for accounting use so that the possibility of it to fail would be much-lower compared to conventional computers. We assessed the situation, environment, usage and designed hardware specifications so that the downtime of the machine would be highly unlikely.
