Windows 7 deployment and migration of users

Intelligently manage Windows 7 deployment

Your organisation probably employs a number of deployment managers. They are crucial to the success of your Windows 7 program. As the direct interface with the end user, a good deployment experience can dramatically improve the business perception of the rollout.

We’re sorry to admit it, but we’ve witnessed plenty of mass Windows deployments that have been a chaotic mess, with last minute schedule changes, applications not ready, hardware not available and end users not aware of the rollout. The impact has been mass business disruption and high program cost.

We designed Dashworks to provide intelligent management of this problem, ensuring that Windows XP migration to Windows 7 goes as smoothly as possible. Dashworks is the only solution to this problem currently on the market, developed by deployment managers with deep experience of managing projects of this kind.

Dashworks software gives the deployment managers in your enterprise the control they need to succeed in desktop transformation.

Windows 7 deployment challenges

Your organisation is upgrading from Windows XP. You have hundreds or thousands of users, computers and applications to migrate onto a new desktop operating system. You don’t want to spend your entire budget on people and process to get the project delivered. You want your deployment to be seamless to the end users with minimal business disruption.

Your deployment manager is concerned. It’s a complex set of logistics to get right. What’s your schedule? What is your deployment capacity? Where are you deploying? What is your mix of migration paths (physical replace, rebuild, VDI etc)? How do you manage schedule change? What can you automate?

These are just some of the questions asked by deployment managers every day, and some of the items that can most cost impact.

Windows 7 deployment management benefits With Dashworks

Total deployment visibility

Your deployment manager wants to know three key things. What am I deploying? Where? When?

Dashworks takes the hassle out of the rollout logistics. Dashboards built by deployment managers for deployment managers. In real-time. Never get caught out with your deployment plan again.

Seamless deployment automation

You will have a number of technical tasks to complete your deployment. Active Directory application or policy group drops, home drive moves, print queue assignment. These are just some typical examples of migration activity.

Dashworks can provide all the information you need to execute your technical deployment and write back task success. Simple end to end control.

Better Reporting

How is your rollout performing? How are you doing against forecast? How many deployment failures are there? What do I need to procure; one week out, one month out?

Dashworks holds so much Windows 7 project information that you can pretty much query it for anything regarding your enterprise deployment.
