14 red-hot ways IBS helps you kiss problems good-bye

by Chip Chapman on 02/14/12

With Valentine's Day at hand, maybe office technology systems aren't the first things that come to mind. What do computers and candy have in common, anyway?

 

We think they're both a treat! Integrated Building Systems loves to solve day-to-day technology challenges as well as the long-term ones. That's sweet news when you need help.

  

Need to kiss an IT problem good-bye? Here are 14 red-hot ways IBS can help:

  1. Install a VoIP phone system
  2. Boost WiFi access for your staff and customers
  3. Improve cell-phone reception, even in elevators and parking garages
  4. Install a short-throw projector or video bulletin board 
  5. Connect "out-of-the-box" retail purchases to a network
  6. Upgrade cabling to support higher speeds 
  7. Complete IT moves-adds-changes
  8. Organize data racks or server room
  9. Update as-built CAD drawings
  10. Plan technology for an office move
  11. Remove abandoned cabling (it's a fire hazard if left in the office)
  12. Troubleshoot connectivity problems
  13. Upgrade a CCTV security system
  14. Install and integrate digital signage

Tips to improve your next technology upgrade

by Chip Chapman on 01/30/12

Planning to upgrade technology this year? Learn from Dave Voss, the General Manager at Dave Gill Chevrolet. He credits the success of his dealership's renovation to the design, communication, and installation expertise from IBS. IBS kept the dealership up-and-running throughout a multi-phase project by staying in touch and on schedule with Dave Gill staff, the general contractor, and other vendors. 

 

Watch this brief video to get tips from Dave to improve your next project:  

Dave Gill Chevrolet fuels high-tech upgrade with expertise from IBS

As this case study shows, our work at Dave Gill included:

  • High-definition digital signage
  • WiFi access for customers
  • Integrated paging system
  • Server room redesign
  • High-performance Category 6 network cabling

From my perspective, this project succeeded because of one thing: 

 

We planned technology before construction began.

How Forrest Gump views IT problems

by Chip Chapman on 11/10/11

I'm an avid movie watcher, and "Forrest Gump" is one of those films I watch every time it's on TV. I'm drawn in by the music, the message, and the great performances.

This fall, I used a famous Forrest Gump quote -- "It happens" -- to write an article about why technology is overlooked, poorly executed, and over budget on too many office construction and renovation projects.

 

The article, "If you don't plan IT, Technology Happens," argues that most successful projects come down to one thing -- planning early.

 

 

 

Please call me any time you need help making sure technology is well-planned, properly installed, and on budget at your office.

New Google project features IBS!

by Chip Chapman on 09/28/11

I'm really proud to let you know that Google chose to feature  Integrated Building Systems in a new statewide project called "Ohio Get Your Business Online." Ohiogetonline

 

The project aims to help businesses get online and be successful. To do this, Google and its partners are giving Ohio businesses free tools and resources -- including a free website.

 

To inspire businesses to get involved, Google created video case studies of several Ohio businesses. Integrated Building Systems is featured as one of these Success Stories.   

 

Google sent a film crew to Ohio last month to record us in action. You can see the IBS story and learn more about the project at Ohiogetonline.com.
