| Getronics Helps Clients Transition to New Microsoft Releases Getronics has announced new consulting services that will help IT executives address their eventual migration to Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007. Well ahead of new licensing agreements and actual migrations, clients need strategic advice and analysis to develop the business case and determine when and how to best transition. Getronics advisory and transformation services lets IT executives tap Getronics' extensive experience in updating and managing over two million IT workspaces worldwide. Getronics' offering includes an initial workshop session and client discussions, where a rapid analysis produces a gap assessment and a list of options and recommendations. IT executives can then decide which steps to conduct with their own staff and which ones to assign to Getronics. The IT executive can select from business case development, Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) Assessment, application testing to migration support. The key is to arm the executive with the best practice steps for a low-risk accelerated migration that fits the needs of the business. Getronics leverages its own global infrastructure, which mimics the complexities and depths of many of the world's largest companies - exploiting the features and testing the performance and scale of most software. As a systems integrator and Gold Partner for Microsoft, Getronics has worked throughout the year testing Microsoft Vista and Office 2007. Select employees around the world and non-critical servers have been involved in the evaluation and feedback to Microsoft. These tests have covered the minor nuances and major features within each software application and have focused on interoperability between Windows XP and Vista environments. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
