The Russian Federation Supports Quality Education With Standardized Operating System

Tags:
security management

Overview In 2007, the Russian Federation designated the Federal Agency for Education (FAE) to implement an order to "Provide licensed support for standard software to be used in education institutions of the Russian Federation." The FAE selected the Windows Vista Business operating system as part of the "Standard Software" to be installed on all computers in public education institutions. The FAE turned to Microsoft Gold Certified Partner IBS to manage and coordinate the activation of 80,000 licensed copies of Windows Vista to schools across Russia. Students and teachers now benefit from features such as the support of state-of-the-art audio-visual formats, the added functionality available to people with disabilities, and the enhanced security provided by Windows Vista.
