Case Study: The Town Of Cheektowaga And Inergex Work Together To Successfully Build An Enterprise Portal For 500+ Employees Using Microsoft SharePoint™
The Town of Cheektowaga functions as 31 different departments. Because of this diversity, the need for streamlined communications is essential to ensure effective and
efficient operations. Unfortunately, the internal ability to collaborate information has been poor, as is the case with most government entities. Interdepartmental communications
were essentially non-existent and the department personnel were unable to easily share information—which created additional work as well as a lower level of customer service
to the town residents. There was no central and standardized way to keep personnel updated on pertinent information...

Case Study: Inergex Helps Railroad Holding Company With Patch Management And Software Distribution With An Integrated Systems Management Solution
End users have limited IT skills to research and recommend, as well as deploy, an appropriate solution to address the environment's limited bandwidth issues. GWI had no tools or processes in place to deploy software packages, and this often took several days or weeks to distribute. In addition, it was impossible for the IT staff to be certain how many employees had actually installed new software or security patches on their machines. That uncertainty and inconsistency led to unnecessary overhead for the deployment of applications and patches and created potentially dangerous system vulnerabilities. GWI selected Inergex, a Microsoft Gold Partner, to provide business and technology alignment consulting services to help with planning, building an architectural design model, and deploying Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003.

When Praxair needed to deploy a new application, or core infrastructure service, the company typically purchased a new server to support the application or service.

Praxair recognized the total cost of ownership was spread across several areas, including: Administration, Hardware and Software, Provisioning, and Downtime. The other dilemma was that many of the servers deployed in production were less than 10% utilized. Praxair needed an IT partner that clearly understood how to align the business objectives with the right technology approach and solution.

In 2001 Getinge finished implementing a new Enterprise and Resource Planning (ERP) package known as MOVEX.Getinge USA's main data systems included: MOVEX, SALESLOGIX and ESERVICE. Having three systems made it difficult to do detailed analysis or to even get numbers to match among systems.

The existing reporting system consisted of hundreds of client crystal reports that had become unmanageable.
