whitepaper School District Makes Technology Available to Enhance Student Achievement2009-10-12 Microsoft
  The Pittsford School District in New York State is one of the highest achieving school districts in the United States, and its commitment to student achievement begins at the elementary-school level. But in its elementary schools, disparate IT environments had become too inefficient to effectively enhance instruction or support the curriculum. Pittsford wanted to deploy a standardized, easy-to-use-and-manage solution that would help it to enhance productivity and learning for elementary students. The district initiated a successful pilot program to provide a computer cart with 30 portable computers running Microsoft Office Professional 2007 for fifth graders at one elementary school, incorporating technology into daily learning, enhancing student achievement, and improving educational and administrative efficiency.

whitepaper Protecting the Security of Education Records2009-10-10 DigiCert
  Academic and administrative computing systems used to be more isolated - either intentionally for security reasons or as a result of limited interconnectivity with other computers - but today it seems that nearly any information that an administrator, teacher, student or parent might need can be obtained through a network connection. Course materials are presented and students submit their assignments via the Internet, school lunch accounts and student grades can be accessed by parents' online and administrative paperwork and other information is shared among a variety of systems and people in K-12 and higher education. The Internet is a great way to communicate, but it introduces security threats that did not threaten walled-off systems of the last century.

whitepaper Popular Fashion Brand Automates Operations to Accommodate 125% Growth, Bigger Retailers2009-10-09 Microsoft
  To accommodate sales growth of 125 percent in one year, clothing designer and distributor Head Gear needed to automate and streamline its warehouse operation. The company's existing Activant Eclipse ERP system, however, lacked the functionality needed to take on new business requirements. For example, the system did not support EDI, which became a necessity as Head Gear penetrated new markets. To meet this need and others, the company deployed Microsoft Dynamics NAV and add-ons for shipping and the fashion industry. Since then, Head Gear has automated operations and increased responsiveness to customers through EDI.

whitepaper PEMEX Creates Document Workflow Solution With SQL Server 2008 and BizTalk Server2009-10-09 Microsoft
  Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the state-owned oil and gas company based in Mexico City, has 150,000 employees and generated U.S.$98.2 billion in 2008. Some years ago PEMEX Exploration and Production, the company's largest business unit, created its own document processing and workflow management application using early versions of Microsoft SQL Server database software and Microsoft BizTalk Server. As success of the internally developed application spread, response times declined. To gain scalability, PEMEX Exploration and Production upgraded the solution to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise (64-bit) and BizTalk Server 2006 R2. CPU utilization has dropped and the company has gained the scalability it needs to roll out the solution to the rest of PEMEX.
