Enterprise Deployment Services


HCGI offers volume discounts on a wide range of products including all computers and printers. Customers that want to standardize on specific models of a manufacturers computer, can enjoy significant cost savings for any project.  Whether you plan to buy many computers at once or deploy smaller amounts over an extended period, we can help.

Many customers evaluate multiple options before selecting the technology they plan to purchase. After the specific model has been selected, the manufacturer may discontinue that unit before you can buy all the product you need. HCGI works closely with the customer and manufacturer to guarantee the lifespan of a particular model computer so that it can be deployed over time throughout your enterprise.

IT Complexities Eliminated

IT organizations often support mobile workers, distributed locations, and complex environments while adhering to rigorous governance and compliance with full accountability.

As infrastructure becomes more complex, business demands increase and the sophistication of end users expands; IT departments often find it challenging to sustain the rate of change and associated cost controls. Projections of continued shortages in skilled IT labor and adoption of new and potentially disruptive technologies have prompted IT leaders to partner with HCGI to offset risk and assume responsibility for managing their asset fleet.

Whether your organization is installing new technology or redeploying existing assets, HCGI can help. Our experienced project professionals and nationwide resources will properly plan, staff, and execute any project regardless of the complexity. After we have executed on our plan, HCGI will define a repeatable process to complete the project.

10th Annual Solutions Summit, COMING March 20th : Oriole's VIP


Tippy Martinez

A member of the Orioles Hall of Fame, Tippy Martinez spent 11 of his 14 big league seasons with the Orioles.

He pitched in 499 games for the Orioles from 1976 to 1986, ranking second only to Jim Palmer on the club’s all-time list of games pitched. His 105 saves rank fourth in Orioles history.

Tippy was acquired from the New York Yankees on June 15, 1976 as part of a 10-player trade that also brought Scott McGregor and Rick Dempsey to the Orioles.
He finished his career with a 55-42 record, 115 saves, and a 3.45 ERA, and was at his best in the post-season, pitching to 1.74 ERA in eight playoff and World Series appearances. Tippy pitched the final four scoreless innings in Game 4 of the 1983 ALCS at Chicago, clinching the American League title, and is one of only three Orioles pitchers – along with Palmer and McGregor – to win a pennant-clinching game.

Tippy was selected to the 1983 AL All-Star team but is probably best remembered for picking off three Toronto Blue Jays at first base in one inning on August 24, 1983 game at Memorial Stadium, the only time a pitcher has done that in Major League history.

A fan favorite with his legion of “Tippy’s Tweeters” cheering him on from the left field stands, he was elected to the Orioles Hall of Fame in 2000.

Tippy was originally drafted in the 35th round as an outfielder by the Washington Senators in 1969 but chose to attend Colorado State. He later signed with the Yankees as an undrafted free agent.

He finished his career with the Twins in 1988 and served as pitching coach for the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League from their inception in 2007 through 2009.

A native of Colorado, Tippy and his wife, Carol, have lived in Towson since his playing days with the Orioles.
