Stronger security that reduces risk and eases compliance.

Large organizations spend 1–5 percent of their total IT budget on security. Where does that money go? For one, defending against the top-three causes of data loss: viruses, denial of service, and theft of proprietary information. The threats and consequences are real. Recently, a lost, unprotected laptop in Berkeley exposed 98,000 social security numbers and personal records of graduate students. Microsoft® Windows Vista reduces business risk by protecting data, minimizing attack surface, and providing robust reporting and auditing tools.

An infrastructure that takes less time to deploy and manage.

Today, a large organization typically manages hundreds of operating system images at a cost of up $100,000 per year, per image. Deployment and user migration alone take up to seven hours per PC. Total cost of ownership per desktop can easily escalate to $5,520 per PC, per year. Windows Vista provides a more secure, manageable, and reliable desktop, so your people can spend less time deploying and maintaining infrastructure.

New ways to manage information that help people get more done.

Up to 80 percent of digital information can be found on workers’ individual hard drives and in their fi les. It can cost up to $18,000 per year, per employee in lost productivity when workers can’t find files and have to re-create them. Windows Vista helps put that money back in your pocket by giving people ways to quickly and easily find and organize the information they need to do their jobs.
