Expert IT And AV Services

IT training room.

A small company located in Hunt Valley, it's been in business since 1981, when it developed as a Computerland franchise. But it has grown and now carries the name of SYSTEM SOURCE. This company is best known for improving the IT operations of other companies, thus its involvement in training and giving public classes, some of them free of cost.

But since they are also involved in audiovisual presentations, system source provides the resources and equipment for all types of presentations, including those held in classrooms and at conferences. While they have expertise in AV and IT equipment, which gives them the ability to help companies acquire and set up AV and IT systems, they also help to maintain these systems, including the provision of helpdesk services.

For instance, when Nimble Storage came out with its all-flash storage capabilities, System Source was one of the partners, who had expertise to realize the benefits. Scott Rippey, solutions architect, knew that this innovation was key in being able to serve enterprise customers. He noted that there were two reasons.

According to Mr. Rippey, "The first is purely politics given all the hype around all-flash storage. Companies like Pure Storage and others come to customers with all-flash offerings, and Nimble Storage needs a response."

Then there are the real benefits of this storage solution. Mr. Rippey commented, "Nimble's approach, and I agree with it, is that data centers don't need flash for every application. Nimble's ability to pin an application on flash is great because it still allows disk to be used for other applications." Another great addition to the Nimble system is the fact that it can also encrypt data, while at rest. And, said Mr. Rippey, "it meets the needs of our customers from small businesses to enterprise."

Of course, one measure of any company's effectiveness is the report of a customer. Matthew March, Vice President of Douron, Inc., stated, regarding System Source's services and consulting, "System Source provided a solution with quick turn IT support that has never let us down. We have had only positive responses from our employees which is not easy in the IT world. Our productivity and ability to fix issues quickly has dramatically improved! We could not have asked for a better service and business partner."
