One hour's drive from both Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the City of Warren is a significant contributor to the regional manufacturing belt and is easily reached by a variety of rail, highway, and air transportation systems.  As a result, we are able to provide local business and industry with unparalleled access to major metropolitan markets, including overnight ground service to both New York City and Chicago.

The City of Warren recognizes the importance of security on their IBM System i, which runs many critical applications for the city departments that they manage, including human resources, employees’ paychecks, and accounts payable.  Not only do they run applications for internal purposes, but over twenty two thousand utility customer’s personal data, including monthly bank draft information is also stored on their system. Additionally, the System i, which is also vital to public safety, hosts the city’s 911 interface to run operations for emergency dispatch 24 x 7.

City of Warren chose PowerTech Network Security to lock down their system and only allow access to approved users for their specific job.

• Network Security: Uses IBM exit point technology to protect System i  data from unwanted network access, securing critical information from theft, loss and fraud.

City of Warren has been running Network Security for nearly four years.  “I looked at several other vendors but spoke with PowerTech customers that were using the product and after I heard how easy it was to implement and run I decided to go with PowerTech’s solution,” said Salvatore.
