Case Studies

Company Overview
The Nalley Automotive Group consists of 11 car dealerships in the Metro Atlanta area representing industry leading brands such as Lexus, Jaguar, Volvo, Infiniti, BMW, and Audi. In addition, Nalley Automotive Group operates Nalley Motor Trucks which specializes in medium to large commercial trucks. The Nalley Automotive Group’s business philosophy is to provide customers with quality, value and integrity. With over 80 years in the automotive business, Nalley Automotive Group has a long-standing track record of quality customer service and is one of the most highly regarded auto dealerships in the United States.

Business Challenge
Nalley Automotive Group is in the business of selling and servicing cars and trucks but is heavily dependent on Information Technology systems to engage in its daily business. In order to stay ahead of its competitors and gain increased efficiencies, Nalley needs to leverage the latest available technologies and services in an intelligent and cost-effective manner. Rather than build and maintain a significant in-house I.T. team, Nalley management determined that it would be more productive to focus its personnel on its core business and leverage a trusted partner for its technology services needs.

Nalley senior management determined that the company needed to identify a single partner that could provide high-quality, mission-critical I.T. infrastructure implementation services as well as core daily I.T. services such as helpdesk, remote support, and onsite support.

Solution Approach
Nalley senior management engaged in a vendor selection process that included many of the top I.T. services vendors in the Metro Atlanta area. After a detailed assessment of these vendors, Nalley management determined that Northridge Systems provided the most comprehensive and high-quality set of services ranging from a full-service helpdesk to advanced infrastructure services.

Northridge Systems has taken the lead on providing robust I.T. services and support to Nalley Automotive Group. Northridge Systems engages in both strategic project implementations as well as daily support services. Northridge Systems provides a full-service helpdesk solution to all Nalley dealerships that includes complete remote support and dispatched onsite support on a timely basis.

Results Delivered
Since the launch of the Northridge Systems service, employees at Nalley dealerships have responded with positive comments about the vast improvement in the I.T. service level provided by Northridge Systems. Northridge Systems' senior network architects are continually improving the core I.T. infrastructure at Nalley while helpdesk personnel and onsite engineers are managing the day-to-day volume of I.T. support issues to ensure that Nalley can continue to provide valuable service and support to its loyal customer base.
