CNA Awards 2007.

Keystone Computer Group recently entered the Channel Network Awards 2007 in the category of Enterprise IT Solution. We are pleased to announce that, following the judging of this section, Keystone Computer Group are through to the finals which will be held at Park Lane Hilton Hotel in London on 11^th October 2007.

We based our entry on work carried out for one of our Blue Chip companies who were looking for a new IBM Hardware and Software Solution as a business decision to replace their existing IT Infrastructure, driven by the application vendor, and to adhere to projected growth for the company over the next three years.

Keystone through its IBM Business Partnership status and recognized excellence in this arena addressed all the customer issues and concerns surrounding implementing new complete systems into a "live" production system to produce a competitive solution.

Keystone provided a complete solution specifically designed to meet client requirements and through TAG (telephone, advice, guidance) support, ensured delivery, performance and future scalability. Keystone’s technical experience and knowledge of the client’s IT infrastructure allowed a unique and genuine integrated solution to be provided. The client had been considering other manufacturers for hardware supply, but through advice, guidance and Keystone reference sites, the confidence in our ability to deliver reliability and future proofing using the IBM portfolio of hardware, software and storage encouraged them to proceed with the proposed solution.

To quote the client: "the introduction of our new server requirements has allowed the business to operate more efficiently, with quicker response times and provided a foundation for expansion".

On the strength of the work done, the client has since ordered, and are part way through, a similar project to replace their HR and finance servers with new IBM PSeries servers and SAN storage solutions providing the back bone of the technical architecture.
