Celebration Kia

WHO

Celebration Kia is a multi-location car dealership representing Kia automobiles. They are located in both Lewis Center, OH (US-23) and Dublin, OH (Post Rd.).

 

CHALLENGE

At the time, Celebration Kia was a new company in the process of acquiring several other Kia dealerships with the goal of representing a modern re-invention of Kia. An acquisition of this size was bound to create an abundance of IT issues.

ASSESSMENT

We were able to walk through the dealerships before completion of the acquisitions. This allowed us to determine exactly what equipment was needed. We discovered they would require new internet, firewall, router, network switches, computers, copiers, and wireless networking.

 

SOLUTION

We put together a turnkey solution of equipment, installation, and vendor management of their Dealership Management System (DMS). This included IT Managed Services, Guest Wi-Fi, Business Phone (VoIP) Systems, and everything in between.

EXECUTION

After mutually agreeing on a cutover date, we acquired equipment and configured as much as possible on our technology bench in advance to remove unforeseen issues and provide a smoother project overall.

 

RESULTS

We were able to get all the equipment replaced and the new equipment working within one business day.
