Department Manager

As a department manager, you are responsible for coordinating a number of projects and employees. As a result of improved information access, you can now gather and analyze information more easily. The following are examples of how some specific Windows 2000 features will make your work as a manager easier.

Terminal Services or Change and Configuration Management Technologies   By using Change and Configuration Management technologies, your administrator can make sure that the software, data, and desktop settings you need are available, regardless of where you are when you log on to the network. If you are visiting the accounting group and you need to look up a report, you can log on to a thin client device by using Terminal Services and work as if you were still in your office.

NetMeeting, Quality of Service, and USB Plug and Play Support   Microsoft® NetMeeting® lets multiple users on a network see each other over a video link and work together on documents in real time. To ensure that the video connection does not degrade, the Quality of Service (QoS) support integrated with Active Directory lets the administrator assign more bandwidth to the users and applications that need it. And, universal serial bus (USB) support lets users quickly install devices that plug in and work right away, such as video cameras. To set up a video conference, for example, all you have to do is plug in a camera and click on the appropriate names in your address book.
