Today’s businesses, big or small, face trends that were not mainstream a decade ago – highly mobile and distributed workforce, new compliance regulations, more consumer devices in the workplace, and an increased emphasis on operational efficiency and cost-containment. Window XP has had an amazing run, but technology & business needs have changed. Moving to Windows 7 today can help your organization reap the benefits of a modern PC experience while establishing a path to Windows 8.
- First, migrating to Windows 7, IE9, Office 2010 and MDOP gives the customer immediate value of a modern desktop and prepares their environment to integrate Windows 8 once generally available. By moving to Windows 7 today, organizations can ensure they run a supported version of Windows and reap the benefits of a modern OS experience to help people stay productive anywhere, enhance data protection and security, and streamline PC management – all of which helps to reduce costs.
Bottom Line: The investments a customer makes today to migrate to Windows 7 will carry forward into the Windows 8 timeframe
