whitepaper 34-Store Chain Grows 10 Percent Annually With the Help of a New Retail and Financial Solution2008-01-11 Microsoft
  Phyllis Heppenstall and daughter Kris founded Peekay, Inc. in 1980 as a direct-marketing company. They saw a market for adult products tastefully presented and sold. In six months, revenues had reached U.S.$500,000. Fiscal year 2007 ended with 31 stores and 20,000 daily transactions. As new marketing channels developed, a legacy Apropos point-of-sale and inventory management system proved difficult to modify. When Peekay's initial three-store network of Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, installed by New West Technologies, demonstrated its worth in speed, ease, and flexibility, the comprehensive retail application was expanded chain-wide. Next, management chose Microsoft Dynamics GP to create an enterprisewide solution. Peekay and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Tectura rethought and streamlined processes, clearing barriers so expansion can encompass several new stores a year.

Store managers had to know their system's quirks and update stock changes by hand. Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System offered a solution that could expand with the chain, yet flex as business demands evolved. Tri-City Retail Systems' experience installing and integrating this Microsoft solution into chain stores helped ensure fast, systematic rollout.

whitepaper Infant Development Program Reaches More Special-Needs Children Using Windows Small Business Server 20030000-00-00 Microsoft
  A peer-to-peer network that included only one Internet-enabled PC and a single e-mail address hampered the ability of the non-profit Infant Development Program (IDP) to obtain critical treatment information for the children in their care and to communicate with their funding sources. Upgrading to a client-server network based on Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, and Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2003 on the desktop provided IDP with Internet access for the entire organization and e-mail addresses for all employees and volunteers. IDP staff can now communicate more effectively with funding sources, the executive director can prepare funding applications more efficiently, and the staff and volunteers can spend more time caring for the children.
