When resources are limited and staffing is tight, how do you ensure you get maximum productivity out of each employee?
 |
The right technology can help, especially when it streamlines day-to-day tasks so you can get more done in less time. Windows Vista Ultimate offers a number of productivity-boosting benefits.
1. Get what you need when you need it. Instant Search enables you to find information across your entire PC – whether it is a client document, an e-mail message providing insight into sales prospects, customer or company financials, or even media files pertaining to a specific product promotion. No matter what you are doing or where you are on your PC – working in Microsoft Office Outlook, navigating in Windows Explorer, or using the Start menu-Instant Search boxes are available.
2. Organise in a way that makes sense to you. Find information and complete tasks more quickly and easily by viewing files in a way that is most logical to you. With flexible management tools, you can choose how to organise information so it is easy for you to find later. Even if your business has a network, Windows Vista makes it easy to find just what you are looking for – in a network file share, an offline folder, or even on another user’s PC that also runs Windows Vista Ultimate.
3. Easily find and work with information. Windows Aero is the compelling desktop experience in Windows Vista designed to help you easily find and work with information on your PC. Windows Aero includes many advances that make it easier for you to work, such as:
| • | Glass – a translucent effect on window borders that helps you focus on the contents of the window. |
| • | Windows Flip 3D – Windows Flip 3D gives you a three-dimensional, stacked view of your open windows through which you can rotate to land on the one you want. It will even show you windows with live events, such as a video that is playing. |

With Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, the updated Web browser included with Windows Vista, you can search the Web straight from your browser – no need to navigate to a search site or download toolbars. Another useful feature is IE 7 support for Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds. You can get personalised news, business or shopping feeds delivered directly to your desktop and read them all in one place, without having to visit individual Web sites.
5. Save time with convenient 'gadgets.' Windows Sidebar and its associated gadgets - or mini-applications - can boost your team's productivity by offering useful information at a glance and easy access to frequently used tools. For example, gadgets can be customised to provide customer relationship management (CRM) feeds directly to your desktop, giving you real-time access to details about your sales pipeline or invoicing status. Gadgets can also be used to display instant messaging contacts currently online, the day view from your calendar, calculators, news updates, and more.
6. Manage your digital imagery. Maximise your marketing abilities with Windows Photo Gallery. Digital imagery capabilities are deeply integrated into Windows Vista Ultimate.
