GOAL: Standardize the cabling infrastructure to meet the new corporate requirements, while assisting to install and turn up new network services in conjunction with deploying and rolling out their new point-of-sale (POS) platform to new and existing salons. The client was asking to make the technology more invisible for the associates and their customers to help with satisfaction overall and to drive new revenue. NCSI has a strong relationship as a valued IT partner of this customer. One of the many reasons they asked us to attack this project. NCSI assembled their project management team with extensive experience and knowledge. In the initial test roll out our highly qualified technicians were making recommendations to more efficiently accomplish the turn-up and install activities that became standardized and used across the entire deployment for all locations in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. We continued to focus on minimizing any disruption at the stores while accelerating the project’s success. [ Read More ]
