Success Stories

BEC IT Solution Co., Ltd. is the IT solutions arm of the BEC World Group of 28 companies involved in broadcasting, media, TV program sourcing, and production. It is best known for its Thai TV3 television group. They faced a challenging situation: support the computing needs of a diverse set of employees across all subsidiary companies, while operating efficiently and economically.

The Avcilar Hospital has been providing health care in Istanbul, Turkey since 1998. “Using the latest computing technology in all office departments and in the hospital’s operating and surgical unit is very important,” says Mr. Ersin Soygüzel, manager of the hospital’s computer department.

The Oakland School for the Arts (OSA) located in downtown Oakland, CA serves 600 students and with a teaching and administrative staff of 75 employees offers a combination of a college- preparatory curriculum and a conservatory-style arts education.

Leveraging new technology is a key competitive edge in manufacturing. Legacy systems and outdated computers are quickly replaced to drive increased productivity from the company office to the factory floor. Fleetwood Industries, a furniture manufacturer based in Holland, Michigan, was typical in that it still had old ‘green screens’ and an outdated network that could only run limited manufacturing applications.

The slowing economy and housing market woes have placed tremendous budget pressure on school districts across the United States. In Georgia, the 16,000-student Dougherty County School System (DCSS) needed to cut student computing costs while demand for more computer access continued to grow. “We looked at buying new desktops, but costs were too high, and support and maintenance would have overwhelmed our IT staff,” said Les Barnett, Educational Technology Coordinator with DCSS.
