whitepaper The Alberta Teachers' Association Improves Communication With Integrated Technology0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Established nearly 90 years ago to promote the teaching profession in Alberta, Canada, the Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) advances the goals of public education, safeguards standards of professional practice, and advocates for its 33,000 members. A traditionally decentralized organization, the ATA made a strategic decision to centralize IT operations and upgrade and standardize aging, heterogeneous systems. To realize this vision, the organization needed a technology foundation that would help improve interoperability and integration, ensuring a seamless flow of information among departments and external stakeholders. The ATA is taking advantage of the Microsoft .NET Framework to help it realize that vision. Desktops were also upgraded with the Windows XP operating system.

whitepaper Software Maker Uses 64-Bit Platform to Enhance Connectivity Application0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Organizations around the globe use Exceed, an application made by Hummingbird to help its users run UNIX-based applications with Microsoft Windows-based workstations. For the new version of Exceed, Hummingbird wanted to enhance the software's performance by using new 64-bit computing technology - but without risking its customers' investments in 32-bit systems. Hummingbird decided to port Exceed to Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64-Bit Edition. Tests show that Exceed, running on the 64-bit desktop operating system, performs at least 25 percent faster on complex rendering tasks. By basing Exceed on the 64-bit Windows platform, which is backward-compatible with 32-bit applications, Hummingbird customers can migrate to a more powerful computing environment while protecting their existing IT investments.

whitepaper Software Developer Uses 64-Bit Technology to Boost Application Memory and Performance0000-00-00 Microsoft
  SolidWorks Corporation produces 3D computer-aided design applications that help its customers design parts and assemblies for complex products such as telescopes and electric mining shovels. Because many of these customers design extremely detailed products using large amounts of data, they need high-performance capabilities and a significant amount of memory. To satisfy those needs, SolidWorks recently introduced new versions of its applications that run on Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Initial test results suggest that this 64-bit support will give SolidWorks customers increased memory and improved performance, and allow them to design and create larger assemblies. As a result, they will be able save manufacturing time and lower production costs.

whitepaper Software Company Meets Oil Exploration and Production Challenges With 64-Bit Solution0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Roxar, based in Stavanger, Norway, provides real-time measurement instruments, 3-D modeling software, and associated services to customers in the oil and natural gas industry. As global oil supplies decrease, researchers are creating more-complex computer models of what lies beneath the earth's surface. These models help companies to get the most out of existing reserves and find new sources of oil and gas in hard-to-access areas. Because the resulting data load is hard to manage in a 32-bit computing environment, Roxar is creating a version of its Irap RMS software for Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. When the software is released, access to the 64-bit Windows platform will enable researchers to make their calculations in a familiar computing environment without sacrificing performance.

whitepaper Tech Firm Uses 64-Bit Technology to Boost Video Application Memory and Performance0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Elecard is a technology company based in Russia that develops programming tools for digital audio and video content providers. These companies use Elecard products, such as audio and video encoders, to create applications that enable the design of DVDs, CDs, and other products that contain digital components. Recently, many Elecard customers had been experiencing memory problems associated with RAM limitations on the 32-bit version of the Elecard encoder. In hopes of solving that problem, they requested that Elecard create a faster encoder with better memory capabilities. In April 2006, Elecard began offering a new encoder that runs on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. Early results indicate that users have more memory, more scalability, and better performance, and they can develop higher-quality applications.
