Wyse Thin Clients in State-of-the-Art Showroom Help Rick Case Acura Lead World in Luxury Car Sales

Renowned Car Dealer Installs 400 Wyse Winterm 3000 Series Thin Clients to Provide Staff with Secure, Reliable Access to Information

San Jose, CA – 2003/06/02 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing, to provide the computing infrastructure needed to deliver award-winning customer service. The Rick Case auto dealer network has installed more than 400 Wyse® Winterm™ thin clients, combined with sleek flat-panel monitors, not only in their Fort Lauderdale dealership but also throughout its state-of-the-art showrooms around the country. The Winterm 3000 series terminals provide sales and customer service representatives and managers with secure, reliable access to critical documents and information. The progressive server-centric environment ensures all vital customer and dealership information remains securely stored on the dealership's servers, where highly trained IT professionals maintain, secure and back-up vital company documents, providing access only to authorized personnel.

"Before we turned to Wyse, we had a very difficult time managing our PC-centric environment," said Louis Gomez, systems director for Rick Case Acura. "And as our business grew, we realized that our existing PCs would not be sufficient, nor secure enough, to keep up with the varying needs of all our employees. Wyse thin clients now provide our staff with reliable, easy to manage and most importantly, secure access to the data required to maintain our exceptional level of customer service. The bonus on top of all this is the amount of money we're saving based on initial installation, ROI and low maintenance."

Wyse's Winterm thin clients were quickly and easily installed at Rick Case Acura. Due to its small footprint, the units are out of sight or on the back of sleek flat-panel monitors, which provide its showrooms with a clean, futuristic feel. Linked to servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 Terminal Server, the thin clients ensure that the IT staff at Rick Case Acura can handle everything from application updates and service pack installations to virus definition updates - all from one central location. This advantage provides the dealership with a reliable server-centric environment that costs less to maintain than the PC's they supported in the past.

"Rick Case Acura is a perfect example of how a high-growth business can turn to Wyse to solve their most complex business problems, while realizing a significant cost savings," said David Rand, director of corporate marketing for Wyse Technology. "We quickly recognized that Rick Case Acura required a server-centric environment that could easily handle the information access needs of its employees. We were able to provide them with our market-leading technology that is now being managed from the back end without having to customize each individual unit."
