The American Cancer Society has a complex IT infrastructure.
Dataliant provided the company with a Citrix solution, dedicated Internet connection
and WatchGuard firewall.
"Our system runs smoothly thanks to Dataliant. If we ever have a problem, Dataliant is on call
and efficient in solving our networking issues. Dataliant's consultants are a valuable extension to
our internal information systems management team."
Jeff Grote, Director of Information Systems
American Cancer Society
The City of Gainesville, Georgia had to migrate to Windows Server 2003 when Microsoft announced
it was phasing out Windows Server NT4. Dataliant engineers worked with the city's IT staff and
designed a comprehensive plan for migrating the City of Gainesville from Windows NT4 to Windows
2003 active directory. The completed document contains both the active directory design and an
implementation plan.
Gwinnett Technical College is a suburban Atlanta, Georgia institution that grants
associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates in many tech-related programs. Although it has 57
computer labs and nearly 1500 computers, the college also offers an extensive catalog of online courses.
So when IT reliability began to slip in 2002, Dataliant, Inc. was asked to step in and provide a Chief
Information Officer (CIO) on a part-time basis.
"It was a model that we had used for marketing and a strategy that we thought might work equally well
in IT. What we found in both of these areas was that the type of leader we could afford on the open
market did not have the level of expertise or breadth of resources to achieve our goals. IT performance
has definitely improved in the last year. The department is organized, focused, and really above-par
based on what I hear from other college presidents."
Sharon Rigsby, President
Gwinnett Technical College
Habersham Investment and Development Corporation (HIDC) buys and develops land into
upscale residential communities. A subsidiary, North Georgia Land Services, provides landscaping
services for these properties, and is one of Atlanta's top 25 commercial landscape companies.
The company needed to connect the two businesses into one centralized network, and approached
Dataliant with the project.
"Dataliant came to the table with a solution that not only met our communications issues, but saved
us money in the process. We now use email to exchange documents with architects, engineers, and
attorneys, rather than the more costly use of couriers. Dataliant takes a common sense approach
to its consulting work and provides our company with solutions that help our business operate more
efficiently."
Robert Button, Vice President
HIDC
Lucas Group Lucas Group has grown since 1970 into one of the nation's largest privately
held executive search firms, known for its targeted executive searches and superior client service.
Dataliant upgraded the firm's corporate infrastructure and implemented Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite
on the new servers, so Lucas Group's users would have on-demand access to Microsoft Office XP and
other business-critical data.
"We've been able to cut our network costs from $10,000 to $2,000 a month - and create
redundant connections at each location. We've had a huge drop in help desk requirements, so we've been
able to eliminate one tech support position. That's saving the company $40,000 in salary alone.
All-in-all, going with Dataliant's Citrix solution has been a great move for our company."
Peter Yund, IT Manager
Lucas Group
Presbyterian Church in America was founded in 1973 and currently has 1,277 churches
nationwide, with more than 260,000 members. In the Atlanta headquarters, several independently
operated agencies provide services to and for local churches. Their greatest challenge regarding
information technology was finding coordinated solutions that met the needs of all the different
agencies.
"We've been using Dataliant's consultants to meet our IT needs for more than 10
years. The biggest reason we use Dataliant is trust. No matter what our current needs are, we can
count on them to recommend a solution that is sensitive to our current and future needs, as well
as our limited budget resources. We currently have six different independent agencies relying on the
IT expertise of Dataliant, it's a relief to have consultants that understand our unique needs and
requirements - and are always there when we need them."
John Dunahoo, Network Administrator
Presbyterian Church in America
Sentry Chemical Co. produces a broad range of specialty chemicals for
industrial, institutional, hospitality and consumer markets, specializing in swimming pool and spa
products. The company had outgrown its existing information systems and was looking for some new
ideas.
"Dataliant evaluated our current systems and provided us with a solution that
immediately addressed the needs we had. They upgraded our email systems to a Microsoft Exchange
Server with a dedicated Internet connection. This allowed us to solve some of our communications
issues and to save money on hosting our Web site. We now have an efficient communications system
that meets both our needs and our budget. Dataliant works with its clients to provide solutions that
meet their needs head on."
Meredith Atha, Network Administrator
Sentry Chemical Co.
Walton Communities, LLC develops, builds, and manages apartment communities
in the metropolitan Atlanta area. When Knight-Davidson Co. and Teague-Ausburn were planning to combine
their assets to form Walton Communities, LLC, the company was faced with the task of merging the
information systems of two separate companies. Dataliant helped these companies develop a solution
that would enable them to integrate the two information systems with little disruption in business
activity.
"We've had problems in the past with finding an IT resource that understood our
business and complex networking needs. During the past three years, Dataliant has worked to understand
our business and to recommend solutions that are right for us. From linking our growing list of
properties into one centralized network, to providing high-speed Internet access to all of our
facilities, no job is too big for Dataliant. By using their consultants for ongoing support, we are
able to focus on our core business operations, knowing that our communications and information systems
are in good hands."
Keith Davidson, Partner
Walton Communities
