This Issue's Dilemma

How can Microsoft best practices help us meet our goals?

I am under a lot of pressure to increase productivity and reduce costs across the board, for all users in our enterprise. Just like every other IT director, right? This doesn’t seem like the time to enforce and use Microsoft best practices (BPs), but I have been reading some postings on message boards lately. People say these BPs can help with our goals.

How have other IT directors used Microsoft’s best practices to meet their internal goals? Are these BPs expensive to implement? If so, how can I prove an ROI to make a case for them?

— Martin Jerome, IT Director
