It has been more than a year since Microsoft released Windows 10, and the debate has shifted from “if” to “when” & “how” to migrate. CIOs across the globe are not sure how much of their IT budget needs to be allocated towards this and the process of migration can also be very time consuming. Gartner believes most enterprises need 6 to 9 months preparing for the migration and most analysts believe that a typical Windows 10 deployment cycle could last 12 months or longer. Additional features provided by Windows 10 to make it applicable for both desktops and mobile devices makes the task of migration more complex than previous versions of Windows OS. Areas where complications may occur are - hardware and application compatibility, security features, choosing the right deployment model and managing updates. Microland has leveraged its expertise in complex, global OS migrations to build ’10 for 10’ - a unique methodology for Windows 10 migration. Key components of this methodology include: Automated tool sets Standardized and industrialized large scale deployment capabilities Zero touch migration Strong project governance framework Download our newsletter featuring Gartner research to understand how this methodology ensures a comprehensive migration at 35% lesser time, reducing direct costs by 15% and significantly decreasing indirect costs.
