PCs as Strategic Assets
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009By actively managing Intel’s PC fleet as a strategic asset, Intel IT has consistently decreased total cost of ownership for PCs. We also evaluate and put an emphasis on the top-line productivity benefits that new PC technologies bring to our employees, such as adopting the use of notebook PCs, new wireless technologies, voice over IP, and remote asset management to help increase productivity while driving down the high cost of supporting PCs.

Not-for-Profit Hospital Delivers Better Patient Care with Mobility
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) had a legacy network that could not provide the coverage and reliability that clinicians required for VoIP throughout the facility. In the hospital’s highly mobile and collaborative environment, nurses and medical staff do extensive work while in motion throughout the facility. The campus had been created over the years by joining multiple buildings, of varying floor levels and many concrete walls still intact throughout, into one large facility. This made for a very challenging RF environment. Read the details on how SAMC deployed enhanced Mobile Collaborative Care applications (e.g., Unified Communications) as well as Secure Wireless applications which were critical for their growth and improved patient satisfaction.

Increasing the Business Value of Mobility
Monday, December 22nd, 2008Mobile computing has become a strategic asset for Intel. Wireless-enabled notebooks increase the productivity per average employee by more than five percent and help to create a more efficient work environment. Today, approximately 80 percent of Intel employees use a notebook as their primary business tool. Now we are working to take the mobility of our workers to the next level by taking a look at our overall mobile strategy.
The result is a major upgrade of our mobile computing solutions coupled with a redesign of our physical office space. This white paper describes our experience in designing and deploying the new mobile work environments, and in helping our employees make the transition. It will be useful for IT and business decision makers looking for ways to increase the value of mobility in their own businesses so they can reduce operating costs and improve the productivity, responsiveness, and satisfaction of their employees.

Implementing Practical WAN Quality of Service
Monday, December 17th, 2007Intel IT implemented a Quality of Service (QoS) capability to improve application performance over our WAN and to prepare the WAN for Voice over IP (VoIP). We conducted extensive testing over time and gained a thorough understanding of the underlying QoS technologies to determine our best course of action. Through this approach, we successfully minimized the negative impacts of network congestion and provided a more solid WAN core. Read the details in this IT@Intel white paper.
