Like most architectural consultants, Hayes Large Architects must be able to deliver projects on time and on budget. Additionally, the productivity of each professional is paramount to a profitable operation. Once
again, all hardware and software must contribute to and enhance workflow.
Hayes Large Architects is discovering the added value of Windows Vista in its operation along side the benefits of a solid IT consultant.
SOLUTION
With the expertise of LAM Systems, Hayes Large addressed both its hardware and software needs.
“We bought custom-built computers from LAM Systems because it was the best value for our dollar,” said Aaron Sturniolo, computer site manager, Hayes Large Architects. “We didn’t want the commodity-grade components you find in most off-the-shelf retailers.”
Windows Vista delivered both the compatibility and features Hayes Large needed as well.
BitLocker Drive Encryption-
Laptop data is more secure for Hayes Large because of BitLocker Drive Encryption found in Windows Vista Ultimate edition. As users enter information into their laptops, the data is automatically encoded and protected from computer theft or loss. This feature is particularly beneficial for busy, mobile executives.
Instant Search-
Windows Vista instantly searches for any type of file —email, spreadsheet, photo, graphic, video, audio and text — found anywhere on computer hard drives.
Security Center-
Windows Security Center helps enhance the security of Hayes Large computers by alerting users when security software is out of date or when security settings should be strengthened. The Security Center displays firewall, spyware, malware and Internet security settings and indicates whether the company’s PC is set up to receive automatic software updates from Microsoft.
