CSP Selected for Enterprise Wide Novell to Microsoft Migration and Cisco Unified Communications

(Raleigh)  Computer Service Partners, a Raleigh-based IT Integrator was recently selected by CommunityONE Bank, N.A. to migrate 550 employees in 49 different locations from Novell to Microsoft E-mail and Domain Controller solutions, and concurrently consolidate operations at the bank’s corporate data center in Asheboro.  CSP will also deploy Cisco IP phone systems initially in seven community offices, and over time implement Cisco Unified Communications solutions organization wide at CommunityONE.

According to Laura Cox, an Account Manager at CSP, “Leveraging our years of experience supporting state agencies and other large commercial operations we were able to mobilize a group of our field engineers and complete the entire Novell-Microsoft migration over a single weekend, allowing the bank to avoid any customer service downtime. We’re also looking forward to working with CommunityONE to upgrade their phone infrastructure, which will allow them to benefit significantly from the operational and cost efficiencies provided by Cisco Unified Communications.”

Dave Miller, Chief Technology Officer for CommunityONE, was responsible for the evaluation of several proposals for the support of their growing operations.  "We chose CSP because of our proven relationship with the company.  They offer logical design and scalability, as well as cost effectiveness."
