Estonian Telecoms Operator Implements Automated Employee Identity Management Tool 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Elion Enterprises, the major fixed telecommunications service provider in Estonia, wanted to increase security and reduce administrative overheads by automating identity life cycles and standardising logons throughout the company. Working with Microsoft Services, Elion Enterprises embarked on the first major implementation of Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 in the Baltic States and the first in Estonia. Users now have the same logon names and passwords for each of the company's systems synchronised by Microsoft Identity Integration Server from Active Directory services. Help desk calls have dropped 34 per cent, delivering considerable efficiency savings. The original solution was implemented in May 2005, but was updated a year later to begin integrating other subsidiary companies, and bringing new functionality to the solution.

International Retailer Reduces Junk E-Mails, Frees Up Network With New Security Solution 0000-00-00 Microsoft

King of Shaves is a retail brand selling nearly 100 products. Its U.K. office has 25 administrative, management, sales, and production employees, while its U.S. office has two sales employees. Each product is linked to a customer care e-mail address, which generates a lot of junk mail for the company. Because its employees use e-mail and the Internet for more than half of all business activities and 95 per cent of customer correspondence is conducted using e-mail, King of Shaves relies heavily on filtering and security features to protect its communications from junk e-mail and virus attacks. Few years ago, the company began using Microsoft Forefront Client Security (formerly Antigen) to create a secure environment for all its business desktops, laptops, and server operating systems.

University Limits Spam, Reduces IT Costs With E-Mail Filtering Service 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Ireland's oldest and most famous university, Trinity College Dublin, was fighting a growing spam problem. Each day, university staff and students received dozens of unsolicited e-mail messages, forcing them to spend the first half-hour of their day deleting unwanted, and sometimes offensive, messages. Of the 20 million messages sent and received each month, 80 percent were spam, overloading the university's servers, tying up IT staff, and delaying the receipt of legitimate e-mail by up to two to three hours. To confront this problem, Trinity deployed Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services, a hosted solution for spam filtering. The solution has greatly cut back the number of unsolicited e-mail messages, dramatically increasing staff and student productivity.
