Application Migrations

In the past, application migrations used to occur very infrequently. Today, enterprises are not only upgrading to new operating systems, but as cloud and virtualization solutions and best practices have matured and gained traction, IT must deal with time-consuming, costly support and upgrade issues. They also now face bring your own device (BYOD) challenges, while users clamor for increased mobility, new device support, and an increasing range of requirements—making managing software more challenging than ever.

The challenges: managing constant application change

• Can you successfully manage compliance and cost through organizational changes, mergers & acquisitions, divestitures and outsourcing?
• Can you reliably migrate applications to new platforms such as Windows 7 or 8, Windows Server 2012, virtual, cloud and BYOD and ensure users have a good application experience?
• How do you enhance desktop management processes and embrace user-centric software deployment to support desktop transformation initiatives?
