“We’ve been working with Altek for years. It’s worth every penny because when I make that phone call to Altek, I speak to a real human and they take care of me. If there are any issues, there will be a callback. Technicians come out and they’re very detail-oriented, and I appreciate that.”

– Sean Carchidi, Director of Technology & IT Solutions Teacher

The Background

Mercy Career & Technical High School (Mercy Tech) provides an immersive, project-based education to prepare students for what’s next, whether it be entering the workforce to start a career or continuing their education after graduation. Founded in 1950, the school is deeply rooted in the Catholic faith and the mission of the Sisters of Mercy, backed by a legacy of proven success. Mercy CTE prepares students for rewarding careers and instills life-long value for its graduates. Nurturing and empowering the whole individual, Mercy CTE opens doors and creates opportunities, providing contemporary job options and a non-traditional path to higher education.

The Challenge

Mercy encountered multiple problems with print technology, including malfunctioning copier machines, a lack of customer support, and a shortage of service technicians.

After successfully resolving these concerns, Mercy opted to standardize their machines throughout the facility, ensuring peace of mind and enhancing technology for their team. Additionally, they upgraded their phone systems to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), streamlining processes and enhancing the experience for both faculty and families.

The Complete Office Solution

“We’ve been partnered for years now in a full solutions package, between printing, VoIP, and internet. The best part about partnering with Altek is the low maintenance I have to do with communicating with them. They are on top of their game, and they provide an excellent maintenance package.

A great story I can tell you, before we were partnered with Altek, Adam and his team sent out a Tech to service one of our printers when our previous vendor could not fulfill the job. That showed me a lot of faith in the company. The next thing I like about Altek is that they are a local company, so they are not too far away from Mercy. I speak to real people when I call their tech support line, and I couldn’t be happier.”

VoIP Phone Services

“They came in with an excellent price point, excellent service, and I enjoy their online cloud interface when it comes to managing the phones.

Whether it is through training or on-call tech support, we were able to work through those problems. In terms of the networking realm, adding a VoIP system to your network does take a bit of configuration, but their Technicians were here to walk me through every single step of the way.

We’re able to do so much with this VoIP system, between call forwarding and putting it on hold. Just hold music in general, we get lots of compliments. Pretty soon, we’re going to be adding a Spanish element to our menu to service our Spanish-speaking families. We’re super excited to continue exploring our VoIP services.”
