whitepaper Agency Protects Shared PCs, Saves Technical Support Time With New Security Tool2006-12-15 01:00:19 Microsoft
  The West Virginia Library Commission, located in Charleston, West Virginia, distributes grants and creates library programs across the state. The financially challenged commission has a small IT department that maintains nearly 2,000 PCs. Most of the computers are shared-access public PCs, used by library patrons for research, e-mail, and browsing the Web. Many of these PCs are susceptible to tampering and other security challenges. As a result, commission IT employees have had to travel throughout the state to fix these problems. Because the commission wanted a cost-effective tool that would provide better security and management, it installed the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP. The Toolkit offers better PC protection and reduces the number of IT support calls and travel costs.

whitepaper Insurance Firm Cuts Costs, Increases Security With Global Identity Management System2006-11-08 01:00:18 Microsoft
  As a global insurance, reinsurance, and financial risk specialist, the XL Capital group of companies (XL) wanted to create a global identity management system. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the company had acquired many disconnected systems. Because employees needed multiple IDs and passwords to access these systems, the company faced security risks and incurred high support costs. With help from Microsoft, Unisys, and RSA Security, XL implemented a solution using RSA ClearTrust and RSA Sign-On Manager, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), and Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003. Now, the company's systems are more secure, and employees can use a single password to access more than 300 enterprise applications.
