Arlington Computers Sees Bright Future With IBM and Lenovo4 April 2005
Carthage College, a private liberal arts and sciences college in the Midwest, has deployed new ThinkPad R series notebooks to 80 percent of its faculty, IBM and Arlington Computers announced today. Arlington Computers Chief Executive Officer Arly Guenther expects to bring more value to customer Carthage College as IBM Personal Computing Division and Lenovo join forces worldwide.
IBM leadership in the delivery of advanced technologies and world-class service and support has helped create a long-standing partnership with ACP, says Guenther. Now, with the combination of two powerful brands, a balanced portfolio of offerings and leading research and development capabilities, Guenther says he is confident ACP's relationship with Lenovo will continue to thrive.
"IBM and Lenovo have a clear vision of the future of PCs and of how to provide the best total solution for customers," said Guenther. "With the joining of these two powerhouses, customers will benefit from broader product and services choices and the same great technical staff to support their needs. The possibilities on the horizon are exciting."
A Premier Partner of IBM, ACP uses IBM products and services coupled with its own service and logistics offerings to ensure high customer satisfaction and long-term customers from varied industries and market segments, including Small and Medium Businesses. In addition, ACP helps customers deploy IBM ThinkVantage Technologies.
"IBM ThinkVantage Technologies have proven to be incredibly valuable to our customers," said Guenther. "The ability for users to customize and manage IT functions, such as wireless connectivity and security patch deployment, not only keeps their businesses up and running, but also helps mitigate unnecessary service and support costs."
Aside from PC products and technologies, ACP is also an authorized reseller of the IBM eServer pSeries high-end server and the DS TotalStorage product line.
Supporting Carthage College
Carthage College, located between Chicago and Milwaukee on the Lake Michigan shore, values IBM's efficient service and support for its ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops, acquired through the college's IT service provider ACP and used by students and faculty across campus.
"Because Carthage is a private college with a lean IT staff, we require reliable hardware and great technical support to meet our needs," said Carol Sabbar, Director of Computer Services, Carthage College. "IBM ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops provide durable, high-quality hardware that greatly surpasses that of any other vendor the college has dealt with."
Beginning next fall, Carthage plans to deploy IBM Rescue and Recovery, an IBM ThinkVantage Technology, which is a one-button recovery solution enabling users to recover previously saved data from software failures even if the operating system fails. The solution is particularly relevant for students and faculty housing course plans and projects on personal computing systems.
