Now is the time to move off XP

Time is running out for the Windows XP operating system — Microsoft plans to end XP support in April 2014. To migrate at your own pace, you need to start planning now for a smooth Windows migration. And whether you choose Windows 7 or Windows 8, we can help you every step of the way.

Bring consumer tablets to the enterprise
Windows 8 introduces optimized touch screen support for tablets and smart devices. This means your employees can use the same Microsoft productivity applications ― regardless of the device they choose. You can embrace tablets in your enterprise strategy knowing that your workforce will have fast, secure, long-lasting access to their productivity tools, as well as:
  • Reliable mobile internet connectivity
  • Easy and secure access to corporate data behind your firewall
  • Seamless personal data access
  • One device that works for personal and business use
Windows 7 or Windows 8: which one is right for you?
Windows 8 adds optimized touch screen support to the proven Windows 7 code base — which means that you get the same tried and true Windows 7 benefits.

If you don’t need touch screen support, Windows 7 may be your best bet. Windows 7 has been tuned to handle every kind of real-world performance challenge during the last three years ― which means your employees won’t have to.

You will realize cost savings and security benefits with either upgrade, Windows 7 or Windows 8. According to an IDC white paper, Mitigating Risk: Why Sticking with Windows XP is a Bad Idea, you can reduce the cost to support each of your PCs five times over throughout the solution lifecycle by migrating to the next-generation Windows operating system.
