Success Stories

We love to share our clients' success stories, and as part of our business, we recommend that you do business with these people.  They have made the decision to have Advanced Business Computing Solutions, Inc. take care of their IT needs, and are better off because of it.

We always sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with our clients, and since this is a new area of our site, we are awaiting permission to provide full disclosure of the solutions that we provided to them.  For now, we will provide a summary of the solutions to their needs.

Problem: The Line of Business (LOB) application used was slow, and prone to crash at critical times, and was outgrown by the company.
Success Criteria:  A LOB application for their business that would not limit their growth, provide remote access to the data, and stable.
Implementation:  Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, Jenmar Laboratories DL-Plus,  SuperMicro Server
Results:  We took care of all of the technical issues, and the implementation took 4 hours to perform when the Jenmar Installer came to the laboratory to install the software.  We saved the client over $3000 in implementation costs alone!  The LOB software has performed flawlessly over 3 years, and the client still has room to grow.  they have remote access with their iPhone and laptop computers to e-mail, laboratory data, and it is easy for them to manage!

Problem: The Line of Business (LOB) application could not communicate with the server at times, causing several thousands of dollars in wasted time and chemicals used in testing for bone marrow transplants.
Success Criteria:  Data needed to be moved on the network in a reliable way.
Actual Problem:  The firewall (ISA Server 2004, part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition SP1) was blocking data on the network from reaching the database.
Implementation:  Working with the writer of the software, and the knowledge, skills, tools, and abilities, we were able to see the data being blocked.  We changed the rule to allow the data to flow freely.
Results:  The client is now helping to save lives at a lower cost.  We now provide managed support to them at a lower costs where we take care of all of the technology needs, from setting up cell phones to get e-mail, SPAM reduction, installation of LOB applications, managing backups, computer setup, and management of the telephone system at a predictable cost.

Problem: Sales are slow at a web based business and they wanted a server to help them manage their assets, including a warehouse of inventory.
Success Criteria:  Increased sales, and management of their inventory.
Implementation:  QuickBooks for Macintosh, and a Blog added to their website.
Results:  Now, we suppose that you are thinking, ":why no server?"  Here is why the solution fit:  They didn't need a server for their business, only an accounting package that would take care of the asset management and financials for the business.  The blog was picked up by several industry standard web sites, and the owners have become trusted experts in their field.  In this, sales have increased 600% to profitability. 
We earn the trust of our clients by recommending what they need, in our opinion, to solve their business problems.
