In the folklore of the Old West, it's akin to switching horses in mid-stream. If you don't make the switch carefully, you might just find yourself swept away by white-water rapids, rather than safe and dry on the other side. With Compaq consultants migrating the existing desktop and notebook systems to Windows NT, NMS never broke stride. Compaq Services accomplished our entire move to Windows NT very quickly and painlessly, installing and configuring more than 2,400 PCs and 600 notebooks in just six months. Now we can deliver Windows NT-based products and services that differentiate us from our competitors.
More responsive systems translates directly to better service in the eyes of the customer.
After maintaining a 30 percent growth rate for several years, NMS found that it had suddenly outgrown its Macintosh personal computers and AppleTalk network. Sikon and his staff determined that the Windows NT operating system offered vastly superior networking capabilities, was more cost-effective, and would provide NMS with a much greater selection of business software. It's much easier and cheaper to maintain one set of operating system skills. It minimizes integration issues and increases the total reliability of the overall environment. Once they had decided that Windows NT was the best choice for their current and future needs, Sikon began searching for a computer vendor that could supply a variety of Windows NT-based systems and also assist with the PC software migration.
