Microsoft has recently announced large-scale deployment of its Windows Vista operating system by the Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC). The implementation which is termed by the company as its largest Windows Vista deployment in Asia saw 18000 units of the operating system being deployed by ONGC, with an aim to achieve security, ease of use, mobile computing and increase in employee productivity.
“India has always been a trend setter in technology usage and it is fantastic that one of the largest worldwide deployments of Windows Vista is at one of the country’s Navratna companies. This implementation is a great testament to the value that the operating system brings to organizations by providing them with huge advancements in the areas of security, productivity, search and ease of use,” said Rajiv Srivastava, General Manager Enterprise & Partner Group, Microsoft India.
Specific features that ONGC expects to leverage include the security attributes built into Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) such as Phishing Filters and Protected Mode, the User Account Control (UAC) functionality, optimized deployment capabilities across thousands of machines and the Green IT features including power management and energy saving.
To ensure a smooth transition and maximum returns, ONGC has also conducted company-wide trainings for employees. During these trainings, employee feedback on the benefits of Windows Vista has been extremely positive, with over 91% rating their initial experience of the operating system as very good or excellent.
The company chose to implement Windows Vista due to its advanced security features, expected productivity benefits, search functionality and lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
