Solution at a glance
Sauerbrei has greater command of the impact
maintenance has on bandwidth: “Managing Windows
updates through Windows Server Update Services
(WSUS) on the SBS server allows us to control the
timing and status of the Windows updates,” he says.

Installation of the HP ProCurve network switches
has enhanced the reliability of the company’s IT
environment. “Previously, we were using several cheap
switches,” Sauerbrei explains. “About twice a year,
connections would go down, and I would find that if
I moved to a port on another switch, they would work
again. That took a couple hours to troubleshoot each
time. I see a definite improvement with the ProCurve
switches. Both security and reliability have improved
throughout the company.”

Saving up to 200 hours a year
The HP ProLiant servers have yet to experience
any downtime, and Sauerbrei monitors their status
remotely through SBS. “The remote access is key
because I can resolve a problem quickly, whether
I’m at one of Gypsum Supply’s four locations or at
a Wright Family Office location,” he explains. “Not
having to travel every time I want to check on a server
or respond to a user request saves me three or four
hours a week—up to 200 hours a year—which is
tremendously helpful.”

In addition, Sauerbrei likes the servers’ footprint. “Both
servers, plus both switches, fit into a self-contained,
half-height rack that locks,” he says. “Space savings
is a real benefit for us, and the rack enables us to
keep the servers in our telecommunications closet.
They don’t consume floor space in an office, and I’m
confident that they are secure.”

Next on Sauerbrei’s agenda is a document
management system for sharing images such as
delivery tickets. He projects that rolling out that
system, which the new network makes possible, will
reduce the time employees spend researching each
discrepancy in customer billing or delivery status from
three or four hours to ten minutes.

“The ability for local and remote offices to email
proof of delivery directly to customers will streamline
the discrepancy resolution process and increase
customers’ confidence in our billing processes,”
Sauerbrei notes. “This will help us keep current
customers and attract new ones.”
