“We have been using Microsoft
technologies for many years and are very pleased with the results,” said Andrey
Tikhonov, IT director, Kaspersky Lab. “The signed agreement is the next step for
our company on the way to increasing efficiency using the newest technologies.
It will allow us to unify our software and IT infrastructure worldwide, applying
effective and suitable solutions.”
With Microsoft, Kaspersky Lab has
been able to achieve the following:
•
Shift to the cloud. Kaspersky Lab deployed a private cloud solution based
on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center management
solutions. With the help of Microsoft System Center, the environment became
strengthened by a long-awaited leap to self-service and extended control
abilities.
• Increase in demand for business management
solutions. Kaspersky Lab successfully implemented a customer relationship
management system based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The project management system
based on Microsoft Project 2010 was also developed. With the combination of
these two products, Kaspersky Lab successfully covered the demand gap between
sales and internal project activities.
• Increase in interest in unified communications.
Kaspersky Lab chose Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Microsoft Lync 2010 to build
effective collaboration and to organize corporate audio- and videoconferences.
They cover all major offices worldwide, which allows the company to maintain
online decision-making processes and decrease travel expenses.
• Increase in demand for business intelligence
solutions. Business intelligence systems based on SQL Server 2008 were
rolled out in Kaspersky Lab to provide operations with raw data and to use
embedded analytics. The company uses online analytical processing for strategic
and tactical purposes.
•
Improved datacenter management. Kaspersky Lab uses System Center to
manage infrastructure. The use of Microsoft System Center allowed Kaspersky not
only to automate routine operations, but also to bring them to a higher level,
making them easier to control. The rich selection of management packs available
for System Center added great value.
•
Standardized workplaces to streamline operations. Migrating to Enterprise
Desktop extended licenses, including Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010, has
standardized workflow. As a result, Kaspersky Lab was able to increase the
performance of desktops and office applications and achieve greater stability
with reduced support costs and compatibility with a broad range of peripheral
devices.
Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010 are planned to be
used for software development, and the company’s TechNet Subscription
Professional will be extended. IntelliTrace, a feature of Visual Studio 2010,
significantly simplified development and testing processes under the pressure of
fast-changing requirements. Kaspersky Lab can now respond to a change in
business needs without extra time and effort.
“The agreement includes the full
stack of Microsoft solutions, which will help Kaspersky Lab meet business
requirements and standardize IT infrastructure. We are sure this agreement is a
pledge of successful cooperation between our companies today and in the future,”
said Nikolay Pryanishnikov, president, Microsoft Russia.
More information about how
organizations are turning to Microsoft technology is available on the Microsoft Customer Spotlight
newsroom.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq
“MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in
software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their
full potential.
