Microsoft's New Efficiency for the "New Normal"
After years of economic expansion fuelled by consumption and unsustainable levels of debt, the global economy has reset at a lower baseline. Today, people borrow less, save more and spend with much greater caution.
Despite the challenges posed by the global economic reset and the transition to this “new normal,” there are encouraging signs that growth may resume in many parts of the world next year. Helping to drive that growth, the global industry is entering a period of technology-driven transformation that will see a surge in productivity and innovation.
The new efficiency will help companies respond to today’s economic reality, and lay the foundation for innovative systems and solutions that connect people to information and applications. The result will be a jump-start to economic growth as companies deliver breakthroughs that solve old problems and capture new business.
Software Solutions for The New Efficiency
This year, Microsoft is introducing a wave of new software created specifically to enable businesses to tackle their most pressing challenges and strengthen their ability to deliver innovation to the marketplace.
It starts with Windows 7, the newest version of Microsoft’s flagship operating system. Windows 7 simplifies tasks and lets people get more done in less time with fewer clicks. Ready to deploy now, it enhances corporate data protection and security, and increases control to improve compliance and reduce risk. Part of the Windows Optimized Desktop solution that includes Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, Windows 7 streamlines management of PC environments, making it easier to reduce costs, improve performance, and enable end users to work anywhere.
These and other enhancements are the result of close collaboration with millions of customers and thousands of IT professionals who participated in testing programs and provided suggestions about the capabilities and improvements they wanted to see. Thanks in large part to their help; Windows 7 is the best PC operating system Microsoft have ever built.
Also just released, is a new version of their server operating system. Windows Server 2008 R2 is designed to increase the reliability and flexibility of server infrastructures. It provides a productive server platform that offers cost-effective virtualization and business continuity, great power saving capabilities, and a superior experience for end users.
In conjunction with the much anticipated launch of SharePoint 2010, the cornerstone of Microsoft's unified communications technologies, Exchange Server 2010 provides a great email and inbox experience that extends from the PC to the phone to the browser and it helps companies archive and protect information efficiently. It also enables companies to reduce costs by delivering a built-in voice mail solution and providing low-cost storage options.
