The service that I would like to share with you, that will save your company a lot of money is Windows Deployment services. This is a great service comes with Windows Server 2008. You are able to install through your server manager.
This service provides a company the best way to plan, build, and test how things will work. This helps companies also to have a quick way to install programs on all of the computers which will save company a lot of money and sooner open date. If the situation calls to install windows XP on 5,000 computers, it will take forever to go one by one to all of the computers to install XP all of them. If you have one server setup with Windows deployment services it will save the company a huge investment. How this works is that you make an image file for XP and you are able to send it to all of computers through the network.
If the company buys server 2008, why buy any other imaging programs? Windows server 2008 comes with windows deployment services. This is a great service because it will do everything those others do well. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb891797.aspx
The only downfall would be that you have to make sure all of the computers come with PXE. PXE is Preboot execution environment. You don't have to worry about this though because computer made since 1998 have this service installed on it. You can find out more from this site http://www.pxe.ca/
