Paper Manufacturer Cuts Costs, Streamlines IT With Microsoft Collaboration Solution | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| Albany International supplies the worldwide pulp and paper industry with technologically advanced structured materials and related services. In 2005, the company's messaging solution, based on IBM Lotus Domino Server and Lotus Notes, had grown to 62 server computers and had become difficult and costly to manage. Notes/Domino also didn't adequately support the centralized data center or broad collaboration strategy that Albany was planning to implement. In response, the company deployed a collaboration solution that includes Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Office Live Meeting, and Live Communications Server 2005, along with its existing deployment of Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.

Educational Provider Cuts Migration Time by 80 Percent, Gains Access to Windows Market | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| TeacherTube.com, the free educational file sharing site for teachers and students, was an immediate success, with 100,000 unique visitors, 200,000 total visits, and 10 million hits after just one month of operation. Schools wanted a self-hosted version of TeacherTube, to eliminate the bandwidth consumption and slow performance of downloads over their often-modest Internet connections. And TeacherTube wanted to license its content and software for self-hosting, but few districts had expertise or investment in the Linux software on which the solution was based, greatly limiting the market appeal of self-hosted software on that platform. TeacherTube is now migrating its Web site to Microsoft technology and launching its self-hosted solution, TeacherTube Onsite, on Microsoft technology.
