With the clock ticking toward the end of Windows XP support in April 2014, Dell Services has added Windows Migration Fast Forward Service to its set of migration services. Dell’s Windows Migration Fast Forward Service claims to helps customers jump-start a new migration or fast-forward one already in progress with tools and practices to ensure readiness. This, in addition to migration solutions from Dell Software, is expected to provide for a smoother, more cost-effective migration.
At present, Dell Services deploys more than a million enterprise-class Windows 7 and Windows 8 devices in over 150 countries each year. Dell’s team of IT experts simplifies the path to migration with services that deliver application, hardware and deployment readiness. Dell’s Windows Migration Fast Forward Service offers pre-packaged modules to address all stages in the Windows migration process for up to 5,000 PCs including: image engineering, inventory and rationalization of applications, application compatibility testing, application packaging, deployment planning, process automation and field deployment. This gives customers the flexibility to choose the package of services that best fits their needs while streamlining the process to save time and money.
“Dell Services brings to market a comprehensive approach to the XP Migration challenge from addressing the critical application requirements in the new operating system while also achieving significant ROI on deployment activities for its customers,” said Ali Zaidi, Worldwide and U.S. IT Consulting & Systems Integration Services Research Lead, IDC.
“Microsoft continues to recognize their abilities with awards earned in 2012 and 2013 for Windows Deployment. The latest set of offerings to help customers fast forward their existing migrations will give customers the needed boost to finish their projects on time,” he added.
