Windows 10 poses one of the greatest challenges for IT organizations when it comes to rethinking how we manage end user IT. It delivers the operating system as Software-as-a-Service to every device and integrates with other Microsoft solutions such as system management, mobile device management and security solutions that all need to be considered in the target end state. Therefore, a transformation like this requires detailed planning and thorough assessment of your IT landscape in addition to the device migrations.
To ease the project startup process for enterprises, HP Enterprise Services (HPE) has developed its Assessment and Strategy Service for Windows 10. As part of this service, HPE will use Juriba's IT Transformation Management platform Dashworks and other tools to collect crucial information, assess it for compatibility and provide its customers with a detailed, actionable output report.
The duration of this service depends on the complexity of your IT landscape but usually takes between 4-12 weeks. It consists of:
Based on these recommendations, enterprise customers can derive valuable insights. It enables you to better understand and evaluate your:
Project: Run-Ready.
At this point, the Dashworks engine is also primed to run the readiness tracking, scheduling, and logistics behind a successful migration for your project.
With the assessment complete, devices can be categorized into in-place upgrade or refresh categories, applications have been normalized and can be classified for versioning in Windows 10, Devices are grouped, and the project is configured for tracking and automation. A seamless transition from assessment to the full project run.
Many of our problems with IT migrations stem from the fact that we do not know what we do and don't know. Until we roll up our sleeves and start digging, we will not really know what we are dealing with. Most IT managers think their biggest problem is the access to data (how to set up the data feeds into their hand-cranked database etc.), and it is not until they have the data finally that they see that they have a much bigger problem on their hands: to make sense of it all!
The powerful combination of the HPE Assessment Services and Juriba's Dashworks solution goes even one step beyond and delivers actionable insight. At the end of the Assessment and Strategy Services, you not only know what your IT landscape looks like or what to expect regarding application compatibility but you are all set to manage your readiness tracking, scheduling and migration logistics from one central control and command center. Now that puts you ahead of the game!
