关于客户
Founded in 1840, The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury (CPPJ) is a local government agency located in Southwest Louisiana. With 15 jurors at the helm, CPPJ offers all the typical government services of a parish. The CPPJ IT department retains 10 employees and supports 600 users with 450 desktop computers in 8 locations. About 95% of the CPPJ infrastructure is Windows-based.
挑战
The IT team at CPPJ didn’t have a professional help desk solution before they deployed System Center Service Manager. The choice to go with Service Manager was simple - according to Charles Burton, Information Technology Director, “We chose Service Manager because it is integrated with System Center.” The majority of CPPJ’s infrastructure is Windows-based, so their main concern was to find a system designed for their environment. From the end of the previous year, CPPJ the team had trouble customizing the workflow process, resulting in additional delays and wasted time. After a year, the IT team realized they would need various enhancements to meet their needs, as well as experienced consultants to guide them through the process. Ultimately, CPPJ chose Cireson’s professional team to help implement the Cireson solutions, as well as customize Service Manager’s implementation. Talking about other competing solutions, Charles Burton, Information Technology Director, said “The CP IT department invested in the Microsoft System Center solution to monitor, maintain and track the technology services and needs within our organization. The third party tools available on the market were a mixed bag of partial solutions and unneeded functionality. Cireson was found to have the most complete set of solutions with simple implementation steps.” With Cireson’s help, the IT team wanted to achieve three goals: gain visibility into the work of the IT department, better manage daily service requests, as well as understand how cost is allocated for their IT needs.
解决方案
With the help of Cireson’s consultants, CPPJ’s IT department re-engineered and customized Service Manager at the end of 2012 with the integration of Cireson solutions. When commenting on the deployment process of the apps, Charles Burton revealed, “Our Cireson solution testing time frames were considerably short before moving into production since the tools functioned as promised.” The Cireson apps that helped them achieve their goals included Affected User, Group Assign, My Active Work Items, and Notify Analyst. One of the most popular and widely used, My Active Work Items, has helped CPPJ’s IT team simplify and significantly improve their daily routine of resolving incidents, and dealing with service requests. Another important solution that keeps the IT workers always informed about assignment changes is Notify Analyst. “Since implementing Service Manager we had used a number of methods to notify affected users and analysts and none were complete. Cireson made the notifications easier to manage and maintain,” said Charles Burton. With no extensive coding required, all task assignments and re-assignments in Notify Analyst can be done with the click of a button. By deploying Cireson solutions, CPPJ’s IT department was able to increase productivity of its analysts, while tracking and measuring the work of the overall department, as well as individual workers. By using the new insights, they are now able to better plan for the future, while providing great customer service to their users.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
