Starting Your Plan

Deploying a new operating system such as Windows 2000 in an enterprise environment is a task that requires executive approval and funding as well as a substantial planning effort. As you begin your planning effort, you need to understand the Windows 2000 product family. Then, you need to gain an understanding of the features and how you can take advantage of them to increase productivity and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) in your organization. The following two sections provide an overview of the planning process described in this chapter and an introduction to using this book.
