Valero Energy Corporation, one of the top refining companies in the United States, wanted to move its corporate Web sites off the Linux operating system and Apache Web server, which consumed far too much IT staff time, didn't allow easy scaling, and were vulnerable to security breaches. With the help of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Catapult Systems, Valero migrated two sites to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Content Management System 2002, both part of Microsoft Windows Server System integrated server infrastructure software. Marketing and human resources staff now can make content changes in minutes without IT assistance, and site maintenance takes a quarter of the time it used to. The sites are far more secure thanks to a wealth of built-in security features, as well as more scalable due to the ease of adding inexpensive servers.
