Healthcare Company Simplifies Management, Boosts Protection With New Security Solution | 2008-02-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| Allina Hospitals & Clinics, based in Minnesota, is a large network of hospitals and healthcare facilities. Thousands of Allina employees use a computerized data system to access patient medical records.

The organization can now centrally manage security and deploy Forefront Client Security on all computers, which simplifies administration and saves time.
