EBS can help you cut costs by
For Air Botswana, Windows Essential Business Server brings increased competitiveness. "I definitely see this new solution giving us a competitive advantage," explains Paul Champane, IT Manager at Air Botswana. "Before, my team spent 80 percent of its time on maintenance and firefighting—just keeping the infrastructure running. With Windows Essential Business Server, I estimate that this will be reduced to 50 percent. That frees up a significant amount of resources that can be used to focus on strategically growing our business capabilities.“
-Paul Champane, IT Manager, Air Botswana

Optimize Administration
Simplified Management“Because we have immediate access to event logs, we can spot issues early and avoid costly server problems,” explains Tom Goddard, Director of Information Technology for Lee Company. “A typical server issue involves anywhere from 10 to 250 users and 30 to 45 minutes of downtime for that particular service. So the savings in terms of increased reliability are significant.”

• Out of box setup of software update infrastructure
• Reduce environment exposure to un-patched vulnerabilities
Reducing Desktop Support Costs“We used to spend 15 hours a month doing software upgrades,” he notes. “Over time, this will go down to 3 hours a month. Software patches could take one full day each week; with Windows Essential Business Server this is down to 2 hours a week. That alone saves us $11,000 per year.”
-Tom Goddard, Director of Information Technology, Lee Company
“We’re now able to proactively and remotely take care of patch management and software deployment, saving a great amount of time. Windows Essential Business Server enables us to integrate our line-of-business applications—our accounting system, revenue management system, and help desk system. This integration will result in significant cost savings and efficiency gains.”
-Paul Champane, IT Manager, Air Botswana
Windows Essential Business Server is allowing Vineyard Music Productions to save administrative costs now and increase those saving as it grow. “Currently, Windows Essential Business Server is saving us at least $50,000 a year in reduced costs.”

Moving to a best practices environment“We knew we needed to upgrade out messaging infrastructure, our server operating system, our connectivity, and our remote services. Windows Essential Business Server
not only brings all of that together in one efficient package, but it allowed us to accomplish our infrastructure upgrade at least three months faster than if we had to
upgrade all the components individually.”Tom Goddard, Director of Information Technology, Lee Company

Installation Process
Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) automates many of the installation and configuration tasks that you usually must perform manually when you install servers. The installation process consists of three phases:1. Make physical connections and prepare the
existing environment2. Install EBS on all three servers3. Complete configuration and migration tasks
