Make People Productive Anywhere
Windows 7 helps your people be productive no matter where they are or where the data they need
resides. They won’t have to look in multiple places to  nd information because a single search can examine
a Microsoft SharePoint® team services site on a company intranet in addition to  les on their PCs. With
DirectAccess, mobile workers can more simply and securely access corporate resources when out of the
of ce, without dialing a VPN. Workers in branch of ces with slow connections will be more productive
because BranchCache in Windows 7 can increase the network responsiveness of centralized applications
accessed from remote of ces.
Manage Risks Through Enhanced Security
and Control
Windows 7 builds on the foundation of Windows Vista by adding more  exibility in securing PCs and data.
Businesses using Windows 7 can worry less about the loss of sensitive data because they can protect inter-
nal PC hard disks with BitLocker and use BitLocker To Go to encrypt external thumb drives and hard disks.
Both BitLocker and BitLocker To Go provide recovery keys so that the data is accessible when needed.
Enterprises that demand the highest levels of compliance can use AppLocker to dictate which applications
are allowed to run on user PCs, providing yet another way to limit the risk of malicious software.
Reduce Costs by Streamlining PC Management
Whether you manage and deploy desktops, laptops, or virtual environments, Windows 7 makes the
job easier while helping you use the same tools and skills you do with Windows Vista. Advanced image
management and deployment tools help you add, remove, and report on drivers, language packs, and
updates—and push those system images out to PCs using less network bandwidth. New scripting and
automation capabilities based on Windows PowerShell™ 2.0 command line interface will reduce the costs
of managing and troubleshooting PCs. For companies making the leap to client virtualization, Windows 7
helps maintain virtual machine images and provides a richer user experience over remote connections.
Optimize the Desktop with Microsoft Desktop
Optimization Pack
The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), which is updated at least once a year, completes the
enterprise experience. By using Windows 7 and the MDOP together, companies can optimize their desktop
infrastructure and gain the  exibility to address their unique business needs. (The MDOP is an optional,
additional subscription for Microsoft Software Assurance customers.)
