Georgia System Operations Corporation (GSOC), the largest electric cooperative operator in the United States, was suffering with a Novell NetWare environment that failed to provide the performance, reliability, and security that the company needed. So GSOC decided to migrate to Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Exchange 2000 Server, with Windows 2000 Professional on the desktop. The new environment boosts reliability, speeds collaboration, and enables more granular security policies. The company anticipates a decrease in total cost of ownership of more than U.S. $1.2 million in the first year; thanks to greater employee and IT staff productivity, reduced hardware costs, reduced outsourcing, and moving a key application from UNIX to Windows 2000.
