Optimize Your Desktop Infrastructure

Meeting the growing demands placed on your information technology (IT) systems doesn't have to add expense. Designed to be more manageable, reliable, and cost-effective, Windows Vista drives IT efficiencies with new technology and tools that help optimize your desktop infrastructure and lower IT costs.

Reduced deployment cost and complexity

Deploying an operating system throughout your company can be an expensive, labor-intensive task. If your IT department is working with older operating systems, they must repeat similar processes for each type of computer, and in each language used, within your company.

Now, with Windows Vista, your IT team can use one standard OS image for deploying new desktops, regardless of the hardware type or language. This not only reduces costs, but frees up time for your IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives and new technologies.

Easier desktop management

Updating computer configurations can be costly and time consuming. Windows Vista includes improved technologies to simplify remote management of PCs. It also helps keep PCs in their desired configuration by preventing users from making unauthorized changes. Remote monitoring is also enhanced, allowing IT administrators to keep better track of the PCs they manage. With Windows Vista, it's easier to keep computers configured in a consistent way and efficiently trouble-shoot problems.

Reduced support costs

Support costs increase when users lack the proper tools and information to address problems with their PCs. Windows Vista helps people resolve problems themselves, decreasing their reliance on the helpdesk. It also includes features that enhance the helpdesk's ability to troubleshoot and solve issues in less time.
