Windows 7 enterprise migration software: Dashworks
Efficient Windows 7 and desktop/application virtualisation migration planning is essential for enterprises running Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista. With Microsoft’s announcement that Windows XP end of support will be April 2014, deferring your organisation’s Windows 7 corporate deployment and desktop rollout strategy is no longer an option.
Windows 7 & desktop virtualisation corporate deployment with Dashworks
For enterprise deployment of Windows 7, the Dashworks software suite from Juriba can substantially reduce the risk, cost, resources and time needed to manage your desktop transformation.
Desktop deployment on a large scale traditionally involves many man years of project management effort. We know, because we’ve done it. But it doesn’t need to be like this. Having lived and breathed desktop migration for years, we think there is a better way. With over 1,000,000 combined rollouts under our belts, we are delighted to translate our project experience into a software product designed to remove the pain from managing desktop transformation.
Managing Windows 7 & Virtual Desktop Transformation
IT departments have historically managed Windows migrations using a combination of spreadsheets and manual processes. Inefficiencies that drive up cost and create business disruption. Dashworks typically reduces this effort by up to 60 per cent. Rather than wasting time manipulating data and completing repetitive tasks, your project managers are freed to drive the programme forward.
Dashworks users report that the overall cost of a Windows 7 rollout is typically reduced by up to 15 per cent when compared with traditional approaches to Windows migration. But don’t just take our word for it – see for yourself right now how Dashworks can assist your Windows 7 migration planning and project management.
Using Dashworks as a Windows 7 and virtual migration tool
Dashworks is an all-in-one data warehouse, application compatibility tool, project management tool and user migration tool. It automates many of the tasks involved in Windows XP migration to Windows 7, and uses our depth of knowledge and experience in application discovery, application compatibility, application rationalization and user migration patterns to accelerate and prioritize all aspects of your project.
Dashworks allows your Windows 7 Project Management Office (PMO) to concentrate on desktop deployment planning services and desktop rollout strategy by building a single version of project truth, automating repetitive tasks, reducing margins for error and minimising business disruption. The software analyses users, applications and systems, and monitors project readiness progress in real time.
With Dashworks, you can immediately see which users, computers, departments and locations are ready to migrate to Windows 7 and virtual platforms, while your project managers have total control over project creation and task management.
Compatible with leading desktop management and application compatibility software
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. This in turn provides a definitive and dynamic ‘traffic light’ based Windows 7 migration checklist to guide your projects and help you identify the best path for migration.The Dashworks analysis application is business intelligence for desktop migration. An out-of-the-box tool for desktop asset profiling, it dynamically builds a data warehouse from data repositories like Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SCCM and Altiris, providing a 360 degress view of the desktop estate. It also integrates readily with leading application compatibility software from companies like ChangeBASE and App-DNA.
Windows 7 and virtualisation project management
Dashworks’ project system is an optional module that augments the analysis application to track project progress, manage priorities and assign tasks for user migration from older operating systems such as Windows XP. Here you can easily manage user migration readiness, building a single version of project truth that can drive efficiencies across the teams involved in the rollout.
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 for full automation.
