Supply Chain Optimization
At Insight, we believe that having the right IT tools on hand can help industry leaders run their businesses smoothly — and safely. No one knows this better than our client, a renowned provider of soft, durably crafted apparel and accessories for children.
Founded in the early 1980s as a mail-order business in Portland, Oregon, our client produces standout children’s clothing with an emphasis on providing quality goods that enhance the beautiful simplicity of life.
When gaps in the company’s security defenses lead to ransomware attacks, the company decided to meaningfully ramp up security, by ensuring optimal defenses were built into the very core of their new device fleet. Our team recommended Apple devices with built-in security measures.
The Apple platform delivers a variety of benefits for end users and IT alike. In this case, the security inherent in the platform was the primary focus, followed closely by the exceptional performance and quality of the graphics, critical to supporting the visual requirements of a design-focused company. With these devices, the company took advantage of super-fast processing, ultra-crisp displays and an easier way to manage data.
Bold graphics, exceptional processing
Among other requirements, the ability to easily create and work with visual concepts was key for our client. We knew that display performance would be one of the most crucial factors in finding the right fit for their business. Another reason why we recommended MacBook Pro computers is because each one features a stunning Retina display — the largest Retina display ever in a Mac computer with 500 nits of brightness for spectacular highlights and bright whites.
Meanwhile, the P3 wide color gamut would enable the company to achieve brilliant, true-to-life images and video for production and sales. And, with supreme graphics horsepower paired with an Intel Core i9 processor, the retailer would benefit from seamless playback and faster rendering.
Having accepted our proposed device refresh, it’s now easier than ever for the industry leader to create its high-quality, trusted products that continue to bring smiles to millions of families every year.
