Lloyd's Register provides independent risk assessment and mitigation services. Few years ago, the non-profit distributing organisation decided to consolidate its diverse IT architecture, choosing Microsoft software over alternatives such as Linux. It also moved from HP OpenMail to Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, and consolidated 76 Unix servers down to 56 servers running Exchange 2000 Server; a further reduction to 20 is expected when Lloyd's Register completes the move to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. As a result, IT operating spend at Lloyd's Register has dropped by more than 30 per cent. The company is now looking to develop more applications using the Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly to bolster its support for mobile staff.
