Microsoft Windows Vista wordt 1 van de grootste Getronics' goudmijntjes voor 2007, zoals quickk terecht stelt. En als Microsoft Gold Partner zal Getronics in 2007 duidelijk nog meer kunnen profiteren, zoals van de volgende nieuwe produkten-introducties die er de komende tijd op stapel staan:

1. Windows Vista
2. Office 2007 suite
3. Exchange Server 2007
4. Office Project Server 2007
5. Office SharePoint® Server 2007
6. Getronics' Office EPM Solution

1. Windows Vista
November 03, 2006 (Computerworld) {thx quickk}

As Microsoft Corp. prepares to release Windows Vista to manufacturing next week and make it available to corporate users at the end of the month, the debate is ratcheting up over how much money -- if any -- companies could save by upgrading to the new operating system. For most businesses, the cost of licensing Windows is dwarfed by what it costs to manage the OS and the applications running on their PCs. The bulk of those expenses comes from paying the salaries of IT staffers, according to analysts. Microsoft claims that enhancements in Vista, such as tightened security, more powerful installation tools and improved central management capabilities, will allow companies to sharply cut the amount of time it takes to maintain PCs. That should lead to big savings, the software vendor predicts.

Lee Nicholls, a senior technology adviser at Microsoft systems integrator Getronics NV, said calculating the potential total cost of ownership savings from an upgrade to Vista can be difficult. He added that operational costs likely will go up immediately after an upgrade because of the need for additional end-user support. Nonetheless, Nicholls said that based on Getronics' experiences in helping 10 large companies deploy Vista for beta-testing, users can save almost $320 per PC annually.

But Robert Taylor, CIO of the Fulton County government in Georgia, said he thinks that for organizations like his with lots of full-time IT staffers, such savings estimates likely will turn out to be little more than "funny money."

"We manage 6,000 desktops and 1,500 laptops," Taylor said. "At $300 per PC per year, that should add up to $2 million in savings. The only way we could actually save that would be to eliminate 30 people, which we're not going to do." On the other hand, Taylor, whose staff has been testing Vista on 100 PCs for more than 18 months as part of Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program, agreed that many of Vista's capabilities will boost automation and manageability, freeing up his staff's time for more valuable projects.

For example, he pointed to Vista's beefed-up image management service, which will let systems administrators create personalized clone backups of PC configurations and then electronically reinstall Vista and all applications on end-user systems if necessary. Taylor said his staff will be able to avoid driving to 200-plus buildings in the 530-square-mile county, which includes Atlanta, to reinstall Windows and other software.

He also applauded Vista's User Access Control feature, which strips users of administrator privileges. That should be a major deterrent to spyware problems, Taylor said. He plans to start rolling out Vista as soon as possible and expects the county to finish upgrading all of its PCs by the end of next year.

Gartner Inc. analyst Michael Silver said there are big "ifs" in the cost-savings picture painted by Microsoft and Getronics. For example, he expects many end users to resist having their software installation privileges and other administrative rights taken away. "You'll have knowledge workers calling you every 10 minutes to install some piece of software," Silver warned. In addition, many companies already use third-party security and image management software with Windows XP, he said.

With all those factors in mind, Silver thinks that only in the most aggressive scenarios, such as companies that upgrade unmanaged XP systems to well-managed Vista ones, will IT managers be able to realize annual savings of about $200 per PC. And that excludes some migration costs and the price of software licenses, said Silver.

4. Office Project Server 2007
5. Office SharePoint® Server 2007
6. Getronics' Office EPM Solution

Getronics' Office EPM Solution pakket (Enterprise Project Management) is gebasseerd op de nieuwe Office Project and Portfolio management.

Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 {thx Bertus S.}
www.microsoftatpmi.com/case_studies.htm
www.microsoft.com/casestudies/casestu...

As a participant in the Microsoft® Office 2007 Rapid Deployment Technology Adoption Program, Getronics is planning a major upgrade of their Microsoft Office Enterprise Project Management(EPM) Solution:

-The new solution is based on Microsoft Office Project Server 2007, an EPM platform that provides centralization and standardization of project and resource information.

-The solution also includes Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007, which provides powerful tools for aligning investments with business objectives.

-Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 will be used to support intranet access to the Office EPM Solution and will allow for collaboration on project documents, issues and risk analysis.

-Information will be stored using Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 database.

-And the solution will run on the Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 Enterprise Edition operating system.

Getronics is eager to deploy the Office EPM Solution because it has been impressed with its earlier EPM deployment based on Microsoft Office Project Server 2003.

Situation:
-With some 25,000 employees in more than 30 countries, the company needs an enterprise-wide system for managing projects.
-The company is specifically interested in creating project management solutions for two areas: work management and portfolio management.
-For work management Getronics needs a solution that covers the entire project lifecycle, including workflow, work approval, and related non-project data such as employee absence.
-For portfolio management, the company needs a solution that includes managing the complete project portfolio, resource capacity, and reporting and analysis of actual information against plan.

Benefits:
-To better facilitate project engagement policies and improve work management for maintenance activities with new workflow capabilities
-To improve the program management capabilities, especially for international programs, with robust project management and collaboration tools
-To increase visibility of resource capacity needs, allowing more informed decisions on resource commitments, including skill-based resource assignments

10. Microsoft Antigen
De nieuwe kaskraker in security and business suites voor Microsoft servers. Antigen was al langer een zeer gerespecteerde en zeer succesvolle security produkt, speciaal gericht als email anti-virus en spam filter voor de Microsoft Exchange server omgeving. Getronics US staat bekend als Antigen-specialist, de pakketten draaien op veel van de US-overheid servers. Waar MessageLabs een all-in security service betreft, is Antigen een "stand-alone" lokale server-based security produkt. Na overname van Sybari, is Antigen nog meer verbeterd en volledig geintegreerd in de Microsoft security product line.

What is Microsoft Antigen security products suite? www.microsoft.com/antigen/default.mspx
What is Antigen? Antigen server-level antivirus, anti-spam, and content-filtering products help businesses protect their e-mail and collaboration environments against viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content. With a layered, multiple scan engine approach, Antigen products help stop the latest threats before they impact business and users. Scanning and management innovations, along with tight Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and Live Communications Server integration, maximize administrator control and server availability. Content and file filtering technologies ensure that organizations can eliminate inappropriate language and dangerous attachments from internal and external communications. Antigen benefits include:
• Advanced Protection: Multiple scan engines at multiple layers throughout the e-mail infrastructure provide improved protection against e-mail threats.
• Availability and Control: Tight integration with Microsoft Exchange and Windows-based SMTP servers maximizes availability and management control.
• Secure Content: Helps organizations eliminate inappropriate language and dangerous attachments from internal and external communications.

Microsoft Antigen security products suite utilizes a unique multiple engine approach to help businesses improve the detection of viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content, reducing overall risk and improving business productivity. Microsoft Antigen security products suite include Microsoft Antigen for Exchange, Microsoft Antigen for SMTP Gateways, Microsoft Antigen Spam Manager, and Microsoft Antigen Enterprise Manager. These products are the first Microsoft-branded versions of the Sybari products acquired in 2005. These products will be generally available on July 1, 2006.

Antigen for Windows SharePoint Services and Antigen for Instant Messaging are part of the Antigen e-mail and collaboration security product line. The Microsoft-branded versions of these products are scheduled to be available in the first half of 2007. Sybari-branded versions of these products will be available through the Microsoft channel and Microsoft volume licensing until that time. Sybari is now a full subsidary of Microsoft.
www.sybari.com/portal/alias__Rainbow/...

Microsoft Antigen e-mail and collaboration security products help businesses protect their Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Windows-based Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Gateway, Microsoft Live Communications Server, and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services servers from viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content. With a layered, multiple scan engine approach, Antigen security products help stop the latest threats before they impact businesses and users. Scanning and management innovations, along with tight Exchange, Windows SharePoint Services, and Live Communications Server integration, maximize administrator control and server availability. Content and file filtering technologies ensure that organizations can eliminate inappropriate language and dangerous attachments from internal and external communications.

How does Microsoft Antigen security products suite relate to other Microsoft security technologies - Antigen antivirus and anti-spam products protect at the server to prevent viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content from reaching end users. This provides complementary protection to other Microsoft security products.
• Microsoft Internet and Security Acceleration Server (ISA): ISA is Microsoft’s advanced stateful packet and application-layer inspection firewall, virtual private network (VPN), and Web cache solution that enables enterprise customers to easily maximize existing information technology (IT) investments by improving network security and performance. Antigen for SMTP Gateways can run on ISA Server to protect SMTP traffic.
• Exchange Hosted Services: While Antigen offers customers an on-premise solution for protection on all messaging and collaboration servers, Exchange Hosted Services (EHS) provides e-mail protection “in the cloud.” Used together, these solutions offer complete, layered defenses to help ensure e-mail productivity and availability for users. The EHS and Antigen solutions use the common principles of multiple antivirus scan engines and multiple anti-spam techniques to provide improved protection against the latest viruses, worms, and spam. EHS provides edge protection that removes the threats before they can enter an organization’s infrastructure. Antigen software protects internal routing and mailbox servers and provides incident containment within the e-mail infrastructure.
• Microsoft Forefront Client Security: Microsoft Forefront Client Security provides businesses the control they need to protect against current and emerging malware threats such as spyware; viruses; and rootkits on desktops, laptops, and file servers. This protection complements Antigen e-mail and collaboration server protection.

How do Antigen products fit into Microsoft’s overall security strategy - The security of our customers is a top priority for Microsoft, and we remain committed to delivering software, services, and best practices that together will help better protect our customers and the industry. We are working with the industry to build trust in computing so that all computer users can realize their potential. Our approach to security requires continued technology investment from the industry and customers, prescriptive guidance, and industry leadership through partnership, policy, and initiatives. Because e-mail and collaboration security threats like viruses, worms, and spam are a critical concern to our customers, Microsoft invested in the Antigen products, which helps build the foundation for our overall defense-in-depth security strategy.

How will customers benefit from Microsoft Antigen products - The Microsoft-branded version of Antigen will include the Microsoft Antivirus scan engine, giving Antigen customers an additional “in-the-box” engine with which to protect their e-mail and collaboration environments. This release of Antigen will also have completed the Microsoft Security Design Lifecycle review, ensuring that Antigen meets Microsoft’s high standards for secure code development. Customers will also be able to take advantage of improved cluster support and enhanced anti-spam and antivirus signature update features.

11. Windows Server 2008
Na de introductie van Windows Vista in 2006, voor de wat langere termijn, de opvolger van de zeer succesvolle Windows Server 2003, Windows Server code name "Longhorn". Hieronder het laatste nieuws en de Windows Server "Longhorn" FAQ's:

-Greater control: Windows Server "Longhorn" will allow you to achieve greater control over your server and network infrastructure, allowing you to focus on your most critical business needs.

-Increased availability: Windows Server "Longhorn" will provide your users with increased availability to maximize uptime and productivity.

-Greater flexibility: Windows Server "Longhorn" will provide you with the flexibility to adapt to new business scenarios and meet the needs of your organization.

-Improved fundamentals: Windows Server "Longhorn" will give you a solid foundation on which you can run your business by providing the enhanced security, reliability, and performance you need.

Where can I get Windows Server "Longhorn" Beta 2?

The Beta 2 release of Windows Server "Longhorn" is available through MSDN and TechNet subscriptions. For more details on how to get a subscription, go here to subscribe to MSDN, or here to subscribe to TechNet.

When will Windows Server "Longhorn" be available?

Our goal is to deliver Windows Server "Longhorn" in 2007, and development is on track. As always our philosophy is to deliver our products only after we have received extensive feedback from beta customers and partners and after we have thoroughly tested the software.

mijn hemel klaas(uuhhh sorry rivier)wat een lappen met leesvoer,de nieuwe microsoft?...wat zijn de marges? ik ben echt blij dat ik niet op €5,30 heb verkocht....

NBWO 12 november 2006 12:33

Rivier,

wat moeten we hier nu mee, wat is de essentie voor Getronics? Strategische partnerships zijn vaak niet meer dan goede bedoelingen, en prachtige produktannonceringen leveren nog geen brood op de plank.

Waarom zou juist Getronics hiervan profiteren en niet de vele andere bedrijven die op dit terrein werkzaam zijn, wat zijn de unique selling points (USP's)? Wat doet GTN nu anders dan andere bedrijven of gaat GTN nu anders doen waardoor GTN hier extra van gaat profiteren?

NBWO: Wat dacht je van meer inzicht krijgen hoe belangrijk partners (in dit geval 1 van de 3 Gold Partners) zijn voor de inkomstenbron van Getronics? Heb je uberhaubt wel een inzage in de dagelijkse aktiviteiten van Getronics? Het merendeel van de klanten van Getronics werken met de hier genoemde Microsoft produkten.

Alleen het kopen van een doos met DVD en handleiding hebben de Getronics klanten niets aan. Simpel gezegd, het moet ook nog geinstalleerd, geconfigureerd, beheert en onderhouden worden. En daar juist komt Getronics voor om de hoek kijken.

Een Gold Partner = Een Goudmijn

Duidelijker kan de aanhef daarom niet zijn. Dankzij quickk werd nog eens geaccentueerd hoeveel potentie in inkomsten en werkopdrachten dit Windows Vista wereldwijd voor Getronics gaat betekenen. Maar het blijft niet alleen bij de nieuwe Windows Vista inkomsten (upgrade + nieuwe klanten).

Op 6 nov j.l. werd n.l. ook bekend gemaakt dat de nieuwe releases van Office 2007 en Exchange 2007, net als Windows Vista, vanaf 30 Nov voor bedrijven uitgebracht zijn. Tel uit je winst. 1+1=2 wordt nu ook nog eens 1+1+1=3.

Natuurlijk zullen ook andere bedrijven hier flink aan gaan verdienen. Maar niet 1, maar wel 3 nieuwe kaskrakers voor Microsoft Business Solutions, betekend bijna automatisch ook kaskrakers voor Getronics, en wel vanaf eind 2006 beschikbaar en de majore opbrengsten zijn dan te verwachten in 2007 en minimaal de 2 direkt opvolgende jaren erna.

2007 Microsoft Office System Is Golden; Exchange 2007 included

2007 Office system released to manufacturers; the company looks ahead to worldwide business availability.

REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 6, 2006 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the completion of the 2007 Microsoft® Office system code and confirmed its release to manufacturing (RTM). This gold code milestone concludes the largest Microsoft Office beta program to date, with more than 3.5 million people downloading Beta 2. The unprecedented quantity of feedback from beta testers and customers helped the Office development team effectively validate product quality and optimize performance. Microsoft Office RTM also marks a critical step toward worldwide business availability of the 2007 Office system, Windows Vista™ operating system and Exchange Server 2007 on Nov. 30, 2006. To underscore the significance of this new day for business, Microsoft executives will participate in events around the globe, including an event with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in New York. General availability of the products will follow in early 2007.

“We’ve crossed the development finish line, and the team deserves to celebrate,” said Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division. “The 2007 Microsoft Office system RTM completes the most significant improvements to the products in more than a decade. It’s rewarding to be able to send this release off to our customers and help them take the next big leap forward in productivity.”

Today’s RTM begins the delivery of new tools and resources that will allow customers to learn about, try and buy the next release of Microsoft Office:

• Learn. Microsoft Office Online has been redesigned to help people learn about what’s new in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Through the new enhancements, information workers can easily determine which products are best for their needs and find related productivity resources — whether it is assistance from one of the nearly 50,000 new help articles, a how-to refresher through one of the 35 new demos, online training through any of the 24 new courses, downloading one of the more than 400 new templates, or accessing other product downloads and tools.

• Try. Starting Dec. 1 in the U.S. and Canada, and coming soon after to an additional 13 international markets,* Microsoft will make available free, downloadable product trials via Office Online. Expanding on the Online Test Drive already available today, the trials will allow people to try the new desktop programs before they decide to buy or upgrade to the 2007 release.

• Buy. To support purchase and adoption, the 2007 release of Microsoft Office includes the largest investment in deployment and management tools in the product’s history. IT professionals can significantly reduce the cost and complexity of desktop deployments and upgrades by utilizing resources such as the Office Migration Planning Manager, Open XML Formats Conversion Toolkit, the Business Desktop Deployment 2007 Solution Accelerator, the Office Resource Kit, and more.

Beyond overall code quality for RTM, other notable updates include the following:

• SMS Link for Office Outlook® 2007. This new service allows Outlook 2007 users to connect with friends’, families’ and colleagues’ mobile phones by using SMS text messaging. It allows people to send and receive e-mail, contacts, appointments and tasks as text messages to mobile phones.

• Localization. Most desktop application products in the 2007 Office system will be comprehensively localized in 38 languages.

• Multilanguage support. For the first time, 2007 Office system customers will be able to purchase individual, single-language add-on packs that enable applications and suites to instantly become bilingual. The packs add a secondary localized user interface, help files, dictionary and thesaurus.

More information about the 2007 Microsoft Office system and trying the new SMS Link service can be found by visiting the new Office Online at office.microsoft.com

Een kleine kanttekening van mijn kant. Ik verwacht weinig omzet van Vista in 2007, wel in 2008 en daarna.

Bedrijven switchen niet zo snel als er een nieuw besturingssysteem is, die kijken eerst de kat uit de boom. Vergeet niet hoeveel bedrijven er nog werken met Windows 2000 of NT, zeker grote bedrijven. Het switchen kost veel tijd, geld en moeite dus daar wordt eerst rustig over nagedacht, systeembeheerders gaan een cursus volgen, etc.

groet,
Flap

Flap, normaliter ja maar dit is anders want
quote "Lee Nicholls, a senior technology adviser at Microsoft systems integrator Getronics NV, said calculating the potential total cost of ownership savings from an upgrade to Vista can be difficult. He added that operational costs likely will go up immediately after an upgrade because of the need for additional end-user support. Nonetheless, Nicholls said that based on Getronics' experiences in helping 10 large companies deploy Vista for beta-testing, users can save almost $320 per PC annually". unquote.
Die besparing willen ze zo gauw mogelijk cashen.

Voorlopig nog alleen op de Benelux-markt te verkrijgen ... een volgende kaskraker

13. Application Packaging Solution (APS)

Application Packaging Solution (APS) maakt dat applicaties snel en foutloos beschikbaar zijn in een nieuwe omgeving. Tijdrovende en handmatige installaties en overzetten van applicaties zijn niet langer nodig.

Organisaties die succesvol willen zijn en continue willen innoveren in een concurrerende markt, hebben een flexibele werkomgeving nodig die klaar is voor de toekomst. Applicaties die tot de kern van cruciale informatievoorziening behoren worden efficiënt ontsloten met toekomstvaste werkplekken. En hoe blijven deze applicaties zelf continue beschikbaar in een veranderende infrastructuur?

Vanuit een jarenlange ervaring op het gebied van werkplekondersteuning heeft Getronics PinkRoccade een totaalaanpak rondom application packaging ontwikkeld. De kern van deze aanpak is een combinatie van slimme technologie en best practices. Deze methode garandeert het snel en foutloos ‘verpakken’ van applicaties, om deze vervolgens te kunnen migreren naar de nieuwe omgeving. Uiteraard is Application Packaging Solution (APS) toegesneden op de specifieke gebruikersomgeving, bovendien kenmerkt deze aanpak zich door haar eenvoud. Deze is mogelijk dankzij een centraal distributiemechanisme dat de applicaties beschikbaar stelt via een zelfinstallerend bestand. Application Packaging Solution (APS) wordt ondersteund door een quick scan instrument. Dit instrument doet een inventarisatie van de aanwezige applicaties.

Op basis van resultaatverplichting kan packaging en het distribueren van de applicatie packages in beheer worden genomen en/of volledig worden uitbesteed. Getronics PinkRoccade maakt in de gehele aanpak gebruik van standaardprocedures, die op ITIL gebaseerd zijn. En die daarnaast gebruik maakt van de projectmethode Prince II, hetgeen de zekerheid biedt van een goed beheerst proces.

De aanpak van Getronics PinkRoccade zorgt voor het beschikbaar houden van applicaties en informatie in de desktopomgeving. Zo kan de werkplek zonder intensieve personele begeleiding als totale functionaliteit eenvoudig meebewegen met veranderingen. Met als pluspunten een optimale ondersteuning van bedrijfsprocessen en een forse verlaging van de beheerkosten. Daardoor beschikken organisaties over een stabiele en toekomstvaste informatieomgeving met een optimaal rendement uit de bedrijfssoftware.

Gold Partners = GOUDMIJN !!!

Dell boekt omzet USD 14,38 mrd in 3e kw volgens verwachting
21 nov 2006, 23:05 uur - (BETTEN BEURSMEDIA NEWS)

Dell heeft in het derde kwartaal van 2006/2007, dat eindigde op 2 november, een omzet gerealiseerd van USD 14,38. Analisten gepolst door Thomson Financial rekenden gemiddeld op een omzet van USD 14,44 miljard. Dit heeft de computerfabrikant dinsdag na het sluiten van Wall Street bekendgemaakt.

In een toelichting zegt Dell dat de acties die het bedrijf heeft ondernomen ter verbetering van operationele en financiele resultaten voor de middellange termijn zijn effect hebben.

In de regio Azie-Pacific en Japan kwam de omzet uit op USD 1,9 miljard bij een eenhedengroei van 23%. In China behoorde Dell tot de snelst groeiende leveranciers.

Europa, het Midden-Oosten en Afrika boekte een omzet van USD 3,3 miljard, daar groeide de productverkoop met 9%. In Amerika bedroegen de verkopen USD 9,2 miljard bij een stijging van het aantal verkochte eenheden met 4%. In Brazilie bedroeg deze stijging 37%.

De nettowinst bedroeg in het afgelopen kwartaal USD 677 miljoen, ofwel USD 0,30 per aandeel.

Dell stelde publicatie van het kwartaalrapport op 16 november uit als gevolg van het onderzoek van de Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) naar de financiele rapportages.

'Windows Vista is goed voor de economie'

Woensdag 29 november 2006, 09:44 - Voor elke euro omzet die Microsoft binnenkrijgt met Windows Vista, kunnen Nederlandse partners 17 euro omzet behalen.

Dat blijkt uit een rekensom van IDC. Het onderzoeksbureau heeft uitgerekend wat voor invloed de introductie van Windows Vista is. Deze software werd dinsdag samen met 2007 Office en Exchange Server officieel geïntroduceerd en zijn vanaf nu beschikbaar voor organisaties. Op 30 januari volgt de introductie van Vista voor consumenten.

In Europa levert volgens IDC elke euro die voor Windows Vista aan omzet binnenkomt, 13 euro aan omzet voor andere bedrijven op. In Nederland is dit zelfs 17 euro. De partnerbedrijven kunnen die omzet behalen door diensten en nieuwe producten of productupgrades bij Windows Vista aan te bieden, aldus de marktonderzoekers.

Uiteindelijk kan de Nederlandse economie zelfs 3,8 procent groeien dankzij de introductie van het nieuwe besturingssysteem van Microsoft, aldus IDC. "In 2007 kan het Nederland meer dan 5 miljard euro opleveren", vertelt Theo Rinsema, directeur Microsoft Nederland, trots.

Ook Hans de Jong, directeur 'personal systems group' bij HP Nederland, gelooft in de positieve bijdrage van Vista aan de economie. "We kunnen ervan profiteren omdat de vraag naar pc's zal blijven stijgen."

Getest
Volgens Microsoft zijn Vista en Office de meest geteste Microsoft-producten ooit. Van beide programma's zijn wereldwijd meer dan vijf miljoen testversies gedownload. In Nederland werden ongeveer 200.000 bèta-versies van Office opgevraagd en 130.000 exemplaren van Windows Vista bèta.

Dat de introductie van de nieuwe Windows- en Office-versie belangrijk is voor Microsoft, benadrukte de softwarefabrikant nog eens. Maar liefst 56 procent van de omzet van Microsoft Nederland is afkomstig van de verkoop van Windows-, Office- en Exchange-pakketten.

In het IDC-rapport wordt ook een schatting gegeven van de snelheid waarmee mensen zullen overstappen op Vista. "In het eerste jaar zullen meer dan 20 procent van alle Nederlandse it-werknemers overgaan op Vista. Dit komt neer op ongeveer 90.000 mensen."
