IT S TIME TO MAKE THE MOVE TO WINDOWS 10 Microsoft Windows 10 is transforming the user experience and enhancing enterprise productivity. Adoption is being driven and accelerated by the growth of Windows 10 in the consumer marketplace, as well as the winding down of hardware support and security updates for Windows 7. If your enterprise has not yet made the change, it s time to begin planning your migration. Windows 10 brings many benefits to enterprise users. It supports today s collaborative, mobile workstyle, yet it has a familiar look and feel that minimizes migration costs. Users appreciate the unified experience and unfettered access to data across desktops, tablets and smartphones. In addition, Windows 10 offers more complete device management capabilities across all devices and improved security at the OS and hardware level. Security features include enhanced enterprise data protection, biometric and two-step authentication, and defenses against advanced persistent threats. Simply put, Windows 10 is much more than a technical upgrade. Successful migration requires a thoughtful, considered approach by the enterprise, but the benefits for users and the enterprise are more than worth the effort. START WITH GOOD PLANNING Now is the time to develop a comprehensive migration plan for Windows 10. Enterprises need to establish a timetable and strategy for upgrades, consider their applications to ensure compatibility and determine what hardware can be repurposed or what items need to be acquired. The method used in the OS upgrade is also key to a successful migration. Windows 10 features a host of new security features and policies that require time and thought to configure and implement. For instance, new data mining features result in additional governance to manage potential privacy issues and concerns. Most important, Windows 10 introduces an incremental rollout framework that replaces the major OS refresh cycle. Companies must now develop plans for managing updates that best fit the resource. Enterprises should consider where to offer continuous updates and where to limit critical updates when missioncritical infrastructure is involved. In today s hypercompetitive environment, it s important to get major changes right the first time. Only careful planning and execution will allow organizations to avoid potential losses in productivity and data, cost overruns, and user frustrations that can happen during an enterprisewide OS migration.
