Tarsus Technologies, the distribution arm of MB Technologies, together with Casey Electronics, recently completed a countrywide installation of PCs and printers for the Department of Education, as part of a European Union (EU) funded project. The project was administered by the Joint Education Trust (JET) in its role as the Project Management Unit, contracted by the EU and the Department of Education.
Casey Electronics won a nationally advertised tender to supply the equipment. Casey Electronics MD, Asgar Mohammed, chose to work with Tarsus Technologies based on its reputation of service and quality. "Tarsus Technologies was our first choice because it could deliver the order timeously - an important factor as we wanted to complete the installation as quickly as possible. In addition, we could rely on the fact that all the machines would be pre-tested and checked before delivery."
Jason MacMillan, Epson business manager at Tarsus Technologies, says, "As a distributor, Tarsus Technologies has all of the best brands under one umbrella. It was thus that we were able to supply the right products at the right price to Casey Electronics, and aid them in securing this tender."
Michelle Buchler, project manager at the JET, is pleased with the success of the installation, and is optimistic about the effect it will have on efficiency levels within the Department of Education. "In order to improve Government`s project management capacity, we needed to install IT equipment in provincial, regional and district offices where no equipment existed. Casey and Tarsus provided us with a total solution that incorporated equipment, service and support at these sites."
In total, Tarsus Technologies provided Casey Electronics with 51 Compaq PCs and 51 Epson EPL 5700 laser printers for installation at the Department of Education sites.
