The Time is Now
The typical migration to Windows® 7 can take 12 to 18 months — making it crucial to start planning for your migration now. Choose the Windows 7 edition that best suits your needs and considers the following:
- Hardware compatibility — Make sure you evaluate what needs are to be upgraded and replaced, and what should stay as is.
- Peripheral compatibility — Windows 7 incompatible peripherals took many Windows Vista® users by surprise; don't overlook the need to ensure that peripherals such as printers and cameras are still compatible.
- Application compatibility — Follow a well-documented, repeatable and results-driven testing process to address what could be the biggest challenge you face.
- Staff training needs — Educate the frontline 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 requirements and the time needed for remediation efforts.
