U.K. Holiday Village Operator Upgrades Desktop Environment and Increases Productivity

Overview Center Parcs, the United Kingdom's leading short break operator, wanted to standardise its IT infrastructure and deploy latest-version technology that delivered real business value. The organisation wanted a desktop environment that delivered cost-effective, flexible management tools and helped personnel work more efficiently. After a thorough review, Center Parcs rolled out Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) across its 1,000 desktops. Since deployment, network administration is more cost-effective with IT personnel now able to manage desktops remotely. The system's familiar user interface allowed Center Parcs to avoid a re-training programme and simply provided a 'Tip sheet'. Workers compared the system performance improvements with a hardware upgrade.
