Construction Firm Lowers IT Costs and Saves Users Time With Software Upgrade

Overview Fred Weber, Inc. is one of the top 400 highway construction firms in the United States. The Missouri-based company of 1,200 employees wanted to continue its recent rapid growth without expanding IT spending. Fred Weber decided to deploy the Windows Vista operating system on the company's 275 desktop computers to make its 11-person IT staff more efficient and give them more flexibility to respond to business requests. The pilot rollout has indicated that the Windows Vista software will reduce help-desk calls by 30 percent and software deployment by almost ten-fold, and save each worker as many as 40 hours annually through faster information location.
