Commercial Leasing Company Increases Security With Desktop Operating System Solution

Overview Signature Capital provides customized vehicle and equipment financing packages to meet the specific financial needs of its clients.

Technology partner TECTURA Corporation introduced Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 to the Signature Capital computing environment. The enhanced features of the operating system (OS) - such as Windows Firewall, Automatic Updates, and Internet Explorer Pop-Up Blocker - helped address the company's security issues.
