From Design Works Jewelry Group to Tache USA
Between 2003 and 2005, Strategic Response Systems (SRS) worked with Design Works Jewelry Group (DWJG), a company of more than 100 employees that had outgrown its IT setup. DWJG brought SRS in to overhaul it end to end: network segmentation, server migration, workstation standardization, video conferencing, the link between headquarters and the factory, budgeting, and network security. The work carried through the company's rebrand to Tache USA and left them with infrastructure that matched where the business was headed, with real results.
Infrastructure That Could Grow With Them
Modernizing the infrastructure meant the system could carry a team of more than 100 and keep adding people. SRS built in the bandwidth and capacity to onboard new staff without re-engineering the setup each time, so growth didn't keep tripping over the technology.
Video Conferencing and Connectivity
SRS set up video conferencing with dedicated rooms and better connectivity, so staff could meet virtually instead of traveling for every conversation. That cut travel, sped up decisions, and made it easier to stay in step with partners and outside teams.
Server Migration and Consolidation
SRS moved the data off aging servers onto new, consolidated ones. Fewer machines meant simpler management and lower maintenance costs, and the migration itself ran with minimal downtime. Data access was faster on the new hardware.
Standardized Workstations
Standardizing the workstations put everyone on the same hardware and software, which cut the compatibility problems and one-off issues that eat into a workday. Staff could get on with their work instead of fighting their machines.
Security and Compliance
SRS put proper network security in place to protect Tache USA's data and meet industry regulations. Closing off vulnerabilities and following established practices cut the risk of a breach, which matters for both the data itself and the company's standing with customers.
Bottom Line
Across those two years, SRS modernized Tache USA's IT for its 100-plus employees: infrastructure that could scale, video conferencing, consolidated servers, standardized workstations, and real network security. That gave the company a stable technical footing to keep growing in the jewelry business.
