Well, we did it. We’re in our new facility. CSC has moved from an office renter to a property owner and it’s really very exciting! It’ll take a few weeks of unpacking, hanging pictures, arranging furniture and all of those other fun tasks that come with a move, but we're definitely settling in. We hope to schedule an Open House for March. It’ll be our chance to show off our new digs.

Our new facility fits our needs and gives us room to grow. Our 12,000 square foot building offers us much more space than our old offices had. 7420 Worthington Galena, Worthington OH 43085, our new address, is just a couple of miles north of our old location. We're literally neighbors with Emerson Power, Mettler Toledo and Worthington Industries. In fact, Emerson’s global headquarters are right in our back yard, which leads to wonderful possibilities for greatly expanded data and power capability for our hosted services clients.

I’m especially proud of the design of our physical plant. We’ve built out two-thirds of the building and have plenty of space for everybody. We put a lot of glass in the main area of the building where our Sales Team, NSG (Network Services Group), and WSG (Warranty Services Group) work.

Our three teams literally have glass between them, which opens up their work space and encourages collaboration. Our NOC (Network Operations Center) has three 47” monitors, so the entire company can view our client dashboards, including tech support phone calls in our queue and schedule openings in each of our engineers’ calendars.

At the same time, our CSC Managed Services Program (MSP) is reporting back client IT alerts that allow us to proactively monitor and remediate from our NOC. We’ve built cohesion into our three teams because each of them knows what the others are doing. The area is so spacious, accommodating, and convenient that it’s easy and exciting for the teams to collaborate.

Because we want our employees to really love coming to work, we’ve also tried to make it a great place to relax as well. To that end, we added a billiards room next to our break room & an audio system for fun tunes. It's cool that we have this area where the team can go after work and shoot pool and let off some steam.

So, we have a bit of unpacking yet to do, but sometime in March, we'll invite everyone in for a look at the new digs.
