Check Into Cash Selects Persystent Software to Ensure Computer Uptime at 1,100 Branch Locations
Tampa, FL, March 18, 2010 – Persystent Software, developers of Persystent Suite, the fastest PC recovery solution in the world, restoring application and operating system (O/S) files that are corrupted, changed or missing with just a simple reboot, today announced that Check Into Cash -- a national leader in specialty consumer financial services that provides cash advance, check cashing, Western Union money transfers and more -- will be using its Persystent Suite solution to protect computers located in more than 1,100 branch locations in 30 states nationwide.
For the Tennessee-based multimillion dollar corporation, computer down time in its branch locations can mean a lot more than lost worker productivity, but lost profits and customers, since without functional computers, Check Into Cash branch associates are not able to serve customers who come through the door. Each branch location houses approximately 2 to 3 computers which are integral to the check cashing process.
In the past, the company’s IT department faced regular help desk calls from branch employees, complaining of computer inactivity with little to no understanding of the cause. “Problem is…speed of transactions is key to our success. For us, time is money, literally,” according to Randy Warren, Senior Technology Director at Check Into Cash. Mr. Warren adds, “In terms of IT help desk calls, we’ve been dealing with a 70/30 ratio of software-to-hardware downtown issues. Implementing Persystent Suite could be a real game changer for us by giving us the ability to resolve software application and OS issues with a simple reboot and bring computers back up to operational state very quickly.”
Check Into Cash will be relying on the core “self-healing” PC repair technology to maintain and ensure compliance for approximately 3,800 machines in 1,100 branch/storefront locations, all from the convenience of a centralized web-based administration console.
