Construction Company Cuts IT Costs, Boosts Productivity With Integrated Solution

Overview

PROKON, an engineering consulting company based in Ankara, Turkey, wanted to upgrade its aging IT infrastructure, which did not provide the level of messaging, communication, and collaboration services employees needed. PROKON chose an integrated Microsoft communication and collaboration solution based on the Microsoft server product portfolio and a standardized desktop environment using Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003. By leasing the products under a Microsoft Open Value Volume Licensing agreement, PROKON saved 15 percent in acquiring its new solution. PROKON also saved 20 percent in IT salary expenses by using Microsoft tools to automate routine IT administration tasks. Engineers, architects, and managers are working more efficiently now that they are using Microsoft messaging and collaboration software to provide project management and customer service.
