The launch of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Vista operating system is a critical inflection point for information technology professionals in the financial services field. Regardless of how soon it happens, most IT environments will migrate to Vista. And as many as 80 percent of those migrations will be accompanied by a hardware refresh.
In the context of the pending migration, there is a strong case to be made for updating management software and adopting the new advanced business PCs now available. Companies that have already adopted these systems can use the enhanced management features at hand on their management consoles to streamline Vista implementation. In addition to their ability to take maximum advantage of Vista's new features, the advanced, embedded capabilities for management and security in these PCs offer short- and long-term benefits.
