Technology Lifecycle Management

All Good Things ...

Eventually, all computer systems and infrastructure components will reach the end of their useful life. Often there is little control over when this happens - a good example of this Microsoft's retirement of support for its Windows 2000 and Office 2000 family of products.

When major systems approach end of life, signfiicant effort is required: firstly to test their successors for compatibility with other products, and secondly to plan, communicate and control the deployment of the replacement systems.

To address this additional effort you may need skills and resources over and above your daily operational team. We can assist you by filling skills gaps and capacity shortfalls.

Examples of how we have helped our clients include:

• Address Office 2000 End of Life
• Address Windows 2000 End of Life
• Test applications against Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7
• Rationalise applications to reduce licencing costs
• Design standard desktops to streamline user training and support
• Implement application packaging for consistent software deployment
• Refresh server operating systems and network applications

What's New?

They know their stuff and this gives us real confidence in our IT systems and investments. The bottom line is we seldom get any problems and our servers stay up! Very happy.
