Financial Services Company Improves Remote Operations With New IT System

Overview

Macquarie Group Limited provides retail banking, investment advice, loans, and other financial services on multiple continents. The Australia-based firm has more than 12,000 employees spread across more than 80 offices worldwide. To stay agile as it moves into new markets, Macquarie Group Limited became an early adopter of Windows Server 2008. By using the new Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) feature, Macquarie Group Limited expects to allow employees in remote offices to perform routine administration tasks without exposing critical domain functions. Macquarie Group Limited anticipates that Windows Server 2008 will help enhance security at remote locations, simplify tasks associated with maintaining a highly dispersed corporate IT system, and improve the availability of data.
