Making ICT Easy

Christmas a great time
to get ready for Win 7

27 November 2009

Windows 7 upgrade planning is an easy project to complete over the Christmas period – Axon has all the intellectual property necessary to ensure a reliable, high value implementation.

You can hit the ground running in the New Year with your planning work done and a clear understanding of the benefits, the time involved in the upgrade, the training requirements, the infrastructure implications – all the information you need to decide on the best time and the best way to complete your Windows 7 upgrade.

Axon was the first large ICT services company in New Zealand to implement Windows 7. The attached white paper offers up Axon's insights, gives an early look at Windows 7 and Altiris 7 in action, and shares feedback from end users. Read more

Axon now has valuable intellectual property around Win 7 deployment and design, says James Walls, Service Management Solutions Manager. 

“We are well positioned to add significant value to customer implementations of both Windows 7 and Altiris 7,” he says.

“Our pragmatic approach to standardisation, applications testing and socialisation of previously packaged applications all contribute to the delivery of a stable, reliable, high value Windows 7 implementation. We are offering fixed prices for work of a defined scope, to give customers budgeting certainty.”

If you are a Microsoft Volume Licensing customer, the no-cost packaged service days in your licensing agreement can be used to help cover Axon's costs in preparing a Windows 7 upgrade plan.

Axon is a certified service provider of Microsoft Software Assurance for Windows 7 upgrades. We use Desktop Deployment Planning Service methodology for upgrade planning to maximise your return on each valuable deployment day.

If you'd like more information on preparing for Windows 7 please talk to your Axon relationship manager.
