Multifaceted Manufacturer Meets Business Goals Using New Desktop Operating System | 2008-12-15 | Microsoft |
| Based in Taipei, Taiwan, Fu Sheng Group is a diverse manufacturing company. The Fu Sheng Group believes up-to-date operating systems that support real-time access to business information are required to boost its competitive edge. However, the company's desktop operating environment had not kept up with corporate growth, and procurement staff did not have the right tools to quickly find accurate pricing data. The Fu Sheng Group deployed the Windows Vista operating system to deliver an enhanced user experience to employees across the company. All employees are more productive as a result of the performance improvements and unique features of Window Vista. For example, procurement staff can access raw materials pricing data right on their desktops to optimize purchasing decisions and save money. | |||
