C - Computer Systems Integrator —the one-stop for everything computer
Business Review – A supplement to the Journal Register June 1998

Located in the basement of 1438 Main Street, many may not have noticed C –Computer Systems Integrator (CCSI).  CCSI has been quietly serving Palmer and the surrounding area’s computer needs for five years. Their knowledgeable computer experts are friendlier and willing to help even most novice computer user.

CCSI recently expanded their offerings to Internet access. “Adding Internet access to our services makes us the one stop for everything to do with computers” said Jitu Changela, President of CCSI. “Together our expert personnel can handle every­thing from computer sales and repair to Internet access, and software development,” he continued.

As mentioned, CCSI recently started providing Internet services. Their Internet expert has years of experience with website design, web based programming, and Windows NT systems. Jitu explained to me, “When we decided to become Internet providers, we searched for an expert in the field ... Someone who not only had experi­ence with the vast array of Internet technolo­gy available, but who could apply that expe­rience in new and unique ways to help our customers.”

Businesses in the greater Palmer area can take advantage of CCSI’s Internet con­nection and expertise as well. CCSI offers service contracts to small and large businesses alike. The advantage of a service contract is two-fold. Businesses can rely on the expertise of CCSI’s computer professionals, as they had a dedicated in-house support staff. Also, the service contracts are very inexpensive when compared to the cost of a dedicated in-house support staff. A very large savings to businesses, no matter what their size.

Larger companies can call on CCSI to set up Virtual Private Networks (VPN’s). Virtual Private Networks save larger companies the expense of having a dedicated network connection to the corporate headquarters. With VPN there is no difference to the end user, but the cost savings over a dedicated line can be tremendous. Additionally, the design of a VPN and use of the Internet makes it much more reliable than a dedicated line directly to the corporate office.

CCSI continues to grow to meet the needs of their cus­tomers, and plans to move to a larger location, which can facilitate that growth. Soon CCSI will call 1501 North Main Street it’s new home. When asked if the move would dis­rupt any of the services CCSI currently offers, Jitu respond­ed, “No. The move should not have any detrimental effect on the service we provide our customers. We will prepare our new location slowly over the next few weeks and move our office equipment over first. Our Internet servers will be the last items moved, and done during hours when no one is online. We are working closely with our provider (UUNET) and the phone company to make sure everything goes smoothly. Most customers probably won’t even know we’ve moved.”

If you have any computer questions please call CCSI at (413) 284-1720. They will be more than happy to help.
