Case Study: Moraine Valley Community College saves 70% on hardware maintenance with Park Place Technologies

Moraine Valley Community College saves 70% on maintenance costs with Park Place Technologies

Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC), a large community college in Illinois, faced challenges supporting its IBM SAN environments due to a shortage of specialized IT staff and a shrinking budget. Their ideal 24x7x4 hardware maintenance solution was prohibitively expensive from the OEM. This led them to seek a third-party maintenance provider and they selected Park Place Technologies for its flexibility and competitive price point.

Park Place Technologies provided a flexible, customized hardware maintenance solution that allowed MVCC to add or delete equipment from their contract at any time. This partnership resulted in significant cost savings, with MVCC saving approximately 70% on maintenance costs compared to the OEM. The college also received exceptional and responsive support from Park Place Technologies' engineers, providing peace of mind and reliable uptime for their critical infrastructure.
