Overview Barker Implement sells John Deere farm equipment from its stores located throughout Iowa. The company wanted to expand its business, improve employee productivity and customer service, and strengthen IT security, without adding IT staff. To address those goals, Barker standardized on Windows VistaÃ‚Â® Business for all new client computers and began deploying Windows Server 2008 on its servers. Thanks to the remote assistance, operating system deployment, and flexible security capabilities of the operating systems, two IT staff members are able to support six geographically widespread stores with fewer in-person visits. Rapid file searching and easy connectivity features in Windows Vista also help sales staff access critical information faster, in the office and in the field, to serve customers better.
