Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, Unisys ES7000 Drive Competitiveness, Profitability for Japanese Utility

Tags:
mainframes

Overview Tohoku Electric Power Company faced new competition with the deregulation of the utilities industry in Japan. To manage its business units more closely and boost profitability, the company needed more quality information and analysis for better decisions. After attempting to meet these goals with a mainframe-based system, the company turned to a Unisys ES7000 enterprise server running Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Tohoku now has what it calls "An indispensable system for realizing cost reduction throughout the company." Managers can easily access all relevant data and analyze it as they wish. And the Microsoft-based solution integrates well with new application components, extending its usefulness and ensuring maximum return on investment.
