Green IT

There is a lot that can be said about new technology. What about updated technology?

Its boring. A tweak here and an adjustment there.......So What?

But if you are a IT Director and you see you TCO for every desktop and laptop out there - a tweak and adjustment may be just what you need.

Desktop Virtualization - or DVI is updated technology these days on an old concept.

DVI let's you run MS Office and other applications from a centralized server so the desktop/laptop "hole of money" is replaced. A thin client or screen only, with a keyboard and a mouse is all that is required. In the office, at home, on a smartphone - the user "sees" the same thing.

The old concept is how mainframe's use to have green screens for people to use the system. Desktop Virtualization is not new - but the tweaks and adjustments have improved it to where you as an IT Director can use it, and roll it out to the workforce.

• Entertainment wants it for its sizzle
• Hospitality wants it for the experience
• Education wants it for safety

Not a bad combination of action words.

Digital Signage Project for Sprint Studio Store - Kansas City

The Benefit - CTI Solutions synchronized audio, video and lighting to impact the retail customers

What is This?

Play on song within your Media Player on your laptop. If there is no video attached to the song Microsoft will play a psychodelic picture........that is what the media plays on your laptop.

Now - project that on a piece of glass. Normally it goes right through the glass - with Vikuiti you get a picture on that glass. Now imagine your ad up there on Glass - Floating in space....More to follow on this one.

CTI Takes Home the Hardware

CTI Solutions knows something about BBQ. From 9 to 5 you will not find another company with more experience in digital signage and laptop/desktop support than CTI Solutions. And for two weekends in October we excelled at BBQ. We warmed up at the Shawnee BBQ in Shawnee KS to get the BBQ recipe. Then at the American Royal BBQ contest - out of 400+ contestents the CTI Solutions team took home 13th place in ribs!

As you can see by this picture the judging is not to be taken lightly.

While the judging and cooking were serious - CTI Solutions invited partners, clients and future clients to the event to enjoy the festivities. Congratulations to the CTI Solutions BBQ team.

Welcome

There is not much to say in this blog. But a lot will be following.




CTI Solutions (a.k.a. Central Telecom Inc.) is a company that has been around since 1980 delivering solutions for it customers. Whether that customer is a telecom giant, a marketing consultant, or an engineering firm - we have delivered.

The best part about working at CTI Solutions is the belief of all of my coworkers on our ability to get things done. The answer is "Yes - we can do that." There is a great story about customer service at Nordstroms'. A customer came in with tires. Nordstroms does not sell tires but the manager took the tires in anyway. (Of course he sold them/returned them to the correct store the next day). The customer was so happy that Nordstroms took them back she is forever a loyal customer.

What would have happened if the manager had said "No"? After all Norstroms doesn't deal in tires - but how many people would that lady would have told how UNHAPPY she was with Nordstroms? Unhappy, bad customer service and your store name are never a good combination.

And that is why at CTI Solutions we say "Yeah - we can do that." We will figure it out and do it.

What do we do? Well stay tuned for that.
