The Buyer's Perspective:
Dave Powell
Senior Director, Information
Systems
Cleveland Indians
"Fine-Line
Communications has been a valuable
partner to the Indians for a number
of years. As one of our vendors
providing wiring and infrastructure
support, they are actively involved
in the implementation of many of the
technology based initiatives we have
undertaken, including digital
signage, IP telephony and
construction of a new data center.
Fine-Line understands our
facility, our people and the unique
demands of working in a professional
sports environment. In working with
us on planning and budgeting
projects, they have suggested
changes that have saved money and
improved reliability. In working
with us on implementing projects
they have done whatever is necessary
to complete their work on time and
at budget. Implementing projects
with short lead times and delivery
dates dictated by the baseball
schedule, they have put forth the
extra effort to ensure that we are
able to accommodate our fans without
interruptions. |

Mission Statement
To
develop and maintain an environment that embraces diversity.
The Cleveland
Indians are committed to developing and maintaining an
environment that embraces diversity to enrich our core values,
enhance our competitive position, strengthen our economic
impact, and foster a respectful appreciation for the local and
global communities in which we operate.
What is Diversity?
We
define
diversity as the inclusion of people differing from one
another. Our organization appreciates that individuality
incorporates differences in experiences, talents, and
perspectives and that the distinctiveness of each person goes
beyond race, gender, religion, ethnicity, national origin,
language, physical ability, sexual orientation, age, education
level, geographic origin, and socio-economic status. We are
committed to embracing diversity in its most inclusive sense. |
