The Windows Vista Business operating system is designed to meet the
needs of business organizations of all sizes. For small businesses, Windows
Vista Business will help keep PCs running smoothly and more securely, so you
will be less reliant on dedicated IT support. For larger organizations, Windows
Vista Business provides dramatic new infrastructure improvements, enabling your
IT staff to spend less time focused on the day-to-day maintenance of PCs and
more time adding strategic value to your organization. Windows Vista Business
also offers powerful new ways to organize, find, and share information while
staying better connected whether you are in the office or on the road. This
helps your business to run more efficiently than ever before.
Easier,
Faster Access to Information
Vista Business features Windows Aero, a new
interface that delivers higher levels of efficiency for any business user. This
easy-to-use interface makes it a snap to navigate through the operating system
and from application to application. Most importantly, Windows Aero helps you
juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time,
animated view of all your open applications and documents.
In addition to
these navigation improvements, Vista Business makes it easier than ever to
manage huge volumes of business documents. By integrating search throughout the
operating system and providing new ways to organize files, this software helps
you quickly find exactly what you are looking for.
Collaborate and
Communicate More Effectively
Vista Business helps your work teams
collaborate and communicate more effectively, regardless of their location. By
helping users find and use information quickly and easily, this software can
dramatically improve how people in your organization access and apply essential
knowledge and resources on PCs, in e-mail, from corporate servers, and on the
Internet.
Improved Security and Compliance
Protecting your
business information and complying with regulations places increased demands on
your IT staff. Vista Business' more sophisticated data protection and auditing
capabilities help simplify IT management and can help lower costs for regulatory
compliance. In addition, with features like the Encryption File system, Windows
Vista helps organizations manage security risks by protecting information and
services in a more controllable and secure environment.
Safe
Operation
For businesses of any size, Vista Business makes it possible
for your IT department to configure users' systems so that they can log onto
their PCs as standard users instead of as administrators. This helps minimize
compatibility and usability issues that might have occurred in previous versions
of Windows, while also making those issues easier to resolve. Moreover, this new
capability significantly reduces the likelihood of a malicious attack causing
damage to your organization's PCs.
Keep Your Network Running
Smoothly
For small businesses, Vista Business includes new technology and
tools to ensure your PCs are always up-to-date, more secure, and running
smoothly. For instance, this software helps make your PCs safer with built-in
protection against malicious software, or malware. And because Vista Business
warns you of impending hardware failures early on, you don't have to worry about
the devastating loss of any important business data. No matter what potential
problems arise, an array of sophisticated new backup technologies helps protect
your information even in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure. When it
comes to management, features like Domain Join and Group Policy support improve
the efficiency of your workgroups.
Small Business Resources
And
for those who are not full-time IT professionals but have roles that require
them to support their organizations' PCs, Vista Business includes Small Business
Resources. This built-in how-to guide leads you through everyday tasks and
troubleshooting in easy-to-follow, non-technical language. By giving you the
ability to solve problems as they arise, you can help keep your business
efficient. Vista Business also provides business specific features like fax and
scan that increase productivity.
Image-Based Installation
For
larger organizations, Vista Business has been designed from the ground up to
improve the deployment and management of the central operating system. For
instance, image-based installation is now the default method for installing the
Windows Vista operating system, and the images are no longer hardware-dependent.
These two key design principles enable your organization to dramatically reduce
the number of images you are required to manage and streamline the process of
deploying new PCs and updating existing PCs. The end result is faster, easier
operation than ever before, which helps improve the overall productivity of your
business.
More Mobile and Better Connected
Today, more
businesses rely on an ever-expanding mobile workforce as a way to enhance their
scope of service and reduce enterprise costs associated with supporting a large
on-site staff. Vista Business gives mobile professionals easier and more secure
access to corporate resources so they can readily collaborate with colleagues--
both on and off the network. Employees and colleagues will also find it easier
to make wireless connections and synchronize mobile devices. The success of any
business depends on communication, and Vista Business helps you easily and
quickly connect with your organization, your customers, and your partners,
whether you are in the office or on the road. This software package includes all
of the essential infrastructure required to more securely connect you to your
business information whether you are sitting at your desk, working at home,
connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, or even if you are using your cell phone to
connect to the Internet.
To help you be more productive when you're away
from your desk, Vista Business includes Windows Tablet and Touch Technology, so
you can interact with your Tablet PC by using a digital pen, your fingertip, or
a keyboard. Improved handwriting recognition and easier ways to browse documents
and programs without using a keyboard give you added flexibility and
convenience.
