Category: Servers and Server OS, IT Management

Overview Richard Anderson is out to forge a new communications model that transforms community newspaper companies into virtual neighborhood companies. Anderson is Chief Executive Officer of VillageSoup, a software company in Maine. As the company grew through acquisitions, technology issues consumed ever more time. Anderson used Microsoft virtualization technology to reduce the company's server count by one-third, avoiding new hardware costs of roughly U.S.$25,000 and IT labor costs of about $83,000 annually. Anderson can now hire more talent to grow the business. Also, improved server reliability increases staff productivity.
