Microsoft: Microsoft
Enables New Ways to Deploy Windows Vista
For many IT professionals
within large organizations, maintaining control over their desktop environments
is becoming an increasingly tall order. The cost of deploying and administering
PCs - sometimes tens of thousands of PCs - across an enterprise can be
significant, especially without the proper infrastructure in place to
aid in the automation of these tasks. Add to that the growing complexity
created by more mobile and temporary workers as well as new data security
and compliance requirements - such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA in the
United States - in regulated industries, and it is little wonder that
some large enterprises are exploring alternative approaches to traditional
desktop management.

March Employee of the Month
PC Professional is proud to announce its March
Employee of the Month, Jacky Kuo!
Jacky was instrumental during the month of March.
Jacky covered for the Business office in both AP and invoicing. Jacky
was also challenged to train a temporary employee on all the receiving
functions and assist in several areas without the company experiencing
a negative impact. When asked to do many tasks that Jacky was unfamiliar
with, he simply accepted them and figured out a way to make it happen.
His attitude was outstanding. His team play was remarkable.
