"Now MIP has replaced Linux and related open-source software
programs with Microsoft Windows and Office.
"Firth says the efficiency gains MIP has realised have made the
transition worthwhile. The company has been able to create a
central document repository using Microsoft's SharePoint Server
software, making it easier to share information quickly inside the
business.
"It's also easier to manage software licences and quicker to
install software on a new PC when the company hires new recruits,
Firth says."
