1,820,000 reasons to switch |
|
Wednesday, 05 March 2008 |
 When Auto Warehousing Company (AWC) planned to move from a Windows shop to a Mac shop everyone was surprised. AWC is the largest auto processing company in North America, with over 20 sites across the US and Canada. AWC was threatened and harrassed by Microsoft in 2006 about alleged illegal copies on their comptuers. It turned out AWC was all legit though, but that could have been the beginning of the defection.
While the 2006 case isn't sited as the main reason for switching, it is considered a bonus. The real reason why the switch is being pushed is because of the 1.82 million dollars it will save over three years. Yes, that's right, 1.83 million dollars saved in three years. The reason is Microsoft required a five site license for each PC in their workshop. The cost to replae all the machines with Macs? Only $355,000. License included.
The projec it on going and slated for completion in 2010. Yet another Mac Shop. Who says the Mac can't do enterprise?
