Also, Shaw moved from a variety of application life-cycle management tools to Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. By adopting the Microsoft platform and tools, Shaw increased development productivity by 40 percent and cut the time needed for specific functions, such as reporting, in half. The development team also has more confidence that it is releasing robust, high-quality applications that meet business needs.

whitepaper Web Hosting Provider Enables Unprecedented Access to Services, Wows Customers2008-08-19 Microsoft
  No shared hosting service provider would agree to provide full server administrator privileges directly to customers - yet increasing numbers of customers at DiscountASP.NET wanted to modify their Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0-based Web sites using parameters that required such privileges. DiscountASP.NET had built a set of tools accessible through a control panel that enabled indirect access to some of these parameters, but developing those tools was a complex and costly process. Under Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.0, though, DiscountASP.NET officials have found that they can use the Web server's feature delegation capabilities and ASP.NET enhancements to enable customer access to key Web service parameters quickly, securely, and more cost-effectively than ever.
