Experience Financial Management for Small Business: Improve Financial Visibility
Windows Vista Business incorporates Windows Workflow Foundation, a .NET Framework that increases the availability and simplicity of your workflow-enabled applications so that you can easily visualise business processes in real time. Third-party tools, such as payment services, let you integrate business information within Windows Vista Business to simplify how your data is processed, both internally and externally.
Find what you need
Do you ever spend time manually sorting through old files to locate accounting information such as an invoice or budget? The Windows Vista Business integrated desktop search tools and indexing technology let you instantly search across all your documents to find files and email messages by name, metadata label or keywords that they contain. For example, if you want to find an invoice but can only remember its total amount, you can simply enter that number and Windows Vista will find the invoice for you. You can also configure Windows Vista to search across an entire network of computers.
Alternatively, you can scan your files using visual information management tools. Live Icons displays the first page of each document so that you can preview your files without starting the application, and the Details/Preview pane provides a high-resolution thumbnail and detailed metadata for a selected item.
Easily manage costs and cash flow
Financial applications provide you with the right information quickly in order to save you time. Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation, the graphical sub-system within Windows Vista, makes it easier to visualise and analyse your financial data through charts and graphs. It also provides a consistent programming model for system-based or browser-based building applications, so developers can use its innovations to build graphically rich applications that take full advantage of your PC's power.
