Experience how a centralised, single version of project truth can drive efficient project management and delivery. Dashworks is already project managing hundreds of thousands of end users to Windows 7 in some of the largest global desktop transformations in the world. If you want to reduce the risk, cost, resource and time needed to migrate to your next desktop platform, welcome to Dashworks by Juriba.
How It Helps
The Dashworks software suite was designed with one goal in mind. To take the pain out of your enterprise level desktop platform migration. Whether you are a program manager, project manager, workstream lead, applications engineer, deployment engineer, business contact or simply interested in project progress, Dashworks has a use for you. If yours is like many organisations, your previous desktop migration (to either Windows XP or Vista) was a thoroughly unpleasant project experience. Thousands of spreadsheets and Microsoft Access databases, huge resource drain, extended timescales, business disruption and blown budgets. With Dashworks, organisations are reporting up to 60% increases in project management efficiency and 15% overall project cost reduction compared to traditional methods of Windows migration management. How can we be so confident? Because Dashworks has been developed by desktop migration experts to simplify the real-life process of large scale desktop deployment management. In conjunction with Windows migration specialists across the globe, and with hundreds of thousands of PC migrations under our belts, the Juriba team has bought a unique depth of knowledge and real-world enterprise level experience into a desktop transformation management product.
Analysis system
At the heart of Dashworks is
Dashworks Analysis, an out-of-the-box tool for desktop asset profiling. It integrates readily with leading application discovery, inventory and compatibility software from companies like
Microsoft,
Symantec,
ChangeBASE and
App-DNA. Using user-configurable rules, Dashworks combines this data with other sources of information – including HR directories, hardware inventory and application delivery systems – into a data warehouse with a simple, searchable portal. Dashworks Analysis provides a definitive and dynamic ‘traffic light’ based Windows 7 migration checklist to guide your projects, automatically identifying your green users, departments and locations for compatibility. Advanced algorithms show you which project tasks to prioritise for maximum project deployment efficiency.
Project system
The
Dashworks Project application is an optional module that sits on top of Dashworks Analysis to track project progress, manage priorities and assign tasks for user migration from Windows XP. It is designed to flexibly map your entire end to end transformation process into a centralised system, building a single version of project truth to drive efficiency across every workstream. Dynamic, real-time dashboards track progress towards deployment readiness effortlessly, giving you unbelieveable control over your desktop transformation programme. The Dashworks project system is underpinned by an API that not only enables dynamic reporting through standard Excel, Access and SQL tools, but that also allows tasks to be scripted and executed externally to drive automation. There is a further option of a
self-service Dashworks Agent, which allows you to set permissions for individual users to safely manage their own migrations with minimal intervention.

To date, Dashworks has managed desktop transformation for over 500,000 end users across the globe. Customers include JPMorganChase, Fujitsu, BBC Worldwide and many more. Dashworks is an
