CTL builds everything from entry-level devices for educational purposes, including desktops, laptops, and LED monitors, to Chromeboxes and high-performance servers. It also offers endpoint security, digital signage, and full-scale conference room solutions for enterprises. With all its offerings centered on ChromeOS and powered by Intel Corp’s processors, CTL stands head and shoulders over its competitors. What makes it different is its ability to provide products, solutions, and support layers driven by expertise, value, consistency, efficiency, and agility.

CTL’s easy-to-use devices help clients ensure they have the right solution to solve problems related to digital equity, diversity, and inclusion. They can allow users and employees, including those working from home, to use CTL’s devices anywhere, anytime. ChromeOS is a value-packed solution for users as they can instantly access data stored in the cloud and cost-effectively manage and scale IT.

To offer support services, CTL begins with network provisioning. It focuses on delivery integration, supply chain management, and 3PL to deliver products to clients in more than 50 countries. CTL also ensures the maximum uptime of devices with comprehensive warranties. To help clients stay connected to their devices, it adheres to LTE standards, partnering with Verizon, T-Mobile, and other carriers.

CTL walks the extra mile and supports clients in case of device malfunction. With a range of tools to diagnose problems and service centers worldwide, CTL offers a complete suite of options for clients to buy spare parts, self-service, and use breakfix services geared toward ensuring sustainable device repairs.

Once onboarded, CTL trains clients on its services, like optimizing order processing and helping them recycle devices when they approach end-of-life by availing of the buyback guarantee. It is committed to supporting responsible sourcing, full-circle product life cycles, and eco-friendly practices.

The team also supported them in offering continuing education through a student tech team program where students can learn valuable technical skills that improve their knowledge and make them career-ready.

“We are big enough to serve global clients and, simultaneously, small enough to deliver personalized service,” says Stromquist. CTL’s deep-rooted experience and passion for innovation empower it to launch robust products worldwide. Relentlessly pursuing excellence, CTL continues to provide flexible solutions and exceed client expectations.
