whitepaper Successful NetWare-to-Windows Migration Boosts Computing Trustworthiness, Cuts TCO by $1.1 Million for Healthcare System0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Sharp HealthCare is a major healthcare delivery system based in San Diego, California - and recently, the health of its Information Technology (IT) infrastructure was in question. NetWare-related problems were causing slow logon times and complete lockouts. And fewer of the applications that Sharp needed were coming out promptly - if at all - for NetWare. So Sharp migrated to Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, using Windows Services for NetWare 5 to facilitate the migration. Reliability and availability are up, while cost savings are U.S.$1.1 million per year. Greater agility enables Sharp to implement software initiatives faster and at less cost, while Active Directory enables the IT department to delegate functions, boosting efficiency throughout the company.
