Making the Move to Windows 7

Windows 7 Migration

The Time is Now

A typical migration of this kind can take 12-18 months, making it crucial to start planning for your Windows 7 migration now. Here are issues that you need to consider:

Hardware compatibility - what needs to be upgraded, what needs to be replaced and what works as is?
Peripheral compatibility - an issue that caught many Vista users by surprise, it is a step that cannot be overlooked.
Application compatibility - perhaps the biggest challenge you face that should follow a well-documented, repeatable and results-driven testing process.
Staff training needs - educate the front-line staff so that issues can be handled quickly, as they arise.
Planning and deployment timeline - establish a deployment timeline that takes into account the scope of application testing and remediation efforts needed.

Dell services can help you address these challenges to help ensure a migration that minimises the business impact on your organisation.
