Windows 7 Migration - One year to go!

With Windows XP support ending in 2014, having a solid Windows 7 migration plan for all desktops, both physical and virtual, is vital. So the million dollar question is; what is your plan to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7?

AppSense’s proven solutions including DesktopNow and DataNow enable businesses to realize the benefits of Windows 7, quicker and with less risk, saving both time and money. Capable of managing the most complex and diverse combinations of users, apps, and data, AppSense enables a proven, cost effective and seamless migration to any new desktop operating system.

Happy to pay for Windows XP custom support? We give it a year

After April 8th 2014, organizations have two choices:

  1. Pay for a very expensive custom EoL support contract
  2. Be forced to accept the business and security risk of zero support

Either one of these aren’t nice choices. Windows XP EoL custom support agreements can run into the millions for larger businesses and without support, organizations are at the mercy of hackers, poised to attack the soft target. With 34 high severity security patches for Windows XP vulnerabilities in the first quarter of calendar year 2013 alone, can you afford to gamble on the risk?

You don’t have to. AppSense can help you migrate faster at lower TCO!

Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 shouldn’t be complicated. Explaining why you haven't could be.

Difficult finding the right partner to migrate from Windows XP to
Windows 7? Microsoft disagrees

“AppSense’s people-centric approach to IT services, in combination with its innovative and proven technology, enables customers to separate users from the operating system and manage them independently across all Microsoft platforms, both physical, and virtual. This enables IT to move to Windows 7 or 8. Our customers benefit greatly from working with our Desktop Enablement Partners, especially when moving to the latest version of Windows.” David Rodger, Windows Client Commercial Lead at Microsoft
