Success Stories

As the market leader in communication services our primary source of new customers is the amazing number of "word of mouth" endorsements we get from our existing customers. Companies of all sizes and in all industries across the country have successfully worked with ACS Dataline, to improve business, realize significant ROI and create competitive advantage.

Read about some of them here:


AMC Theaters is one of the world’s largest theatrical exhibition companies, with nearly 3,500 screens, including locations in most major markets in the United States and six other countries. Recognized as the leader in modern, megaplex-style theatre complexes, AMC is the choice of almost 170 million moviegoers each year. AMC management wanted to create an entertainment atmosphere that would be unrivaled in the industry, offering an experience that no other theatre chain could match while generating additional revenue. AMC had been through 5 vendors to try and accomplish a 500 screen roll-out for a satellite fed digital theatre projection system. None of the vendors had the right combination of project management and technical skills--until they brought in ACS Dataline. We completed a 1,172 Screen Roll-out in 72 Major Markets in 3 months time. Since then, ACS Dataline has implemented a turn-key solution to provide not only installation services, but also procurement, materials management, asset tagging, server burn-in/integration, mock theatre set-up and testing and installation for all networked systems for new theatres to include, POS, voice, digital menu boards, marquees, DTDS, kiosks, plasma screens and all associated network cabling and testing. The successful deployment of this new technology, has allowed AMC to attract more high-end advertisers and boost concession sales. Once ACS Dataline took on the role of single source provider, AMC was able to reduce the number of project managers, eliminate the daily conference calls, and reduce costs. The efficiencies provided by ACS Dataline equated to a hard savings of $77,868 over the first three month period. They were also able to reduce overall headcount. ACS Dataline has helped AMC theaters to achieve quick turn-around on a critical business project and meet cost saving and revenue generating goals.
