Windows 7 Migration Best Practices 8 8
A Common Testing Environment for Early Adopters Intel IT created a carefully controlled workflow for 3,000 application owners to assist with application migration. 9
Windows 7 Deployments - Variety of Methods Full service OS upgrade Mainstream (used for Early Adopters) Accelerated (piloted in 3 sites) Migration fairs Self-migration method Remote site migrations Site-wide migrations Intact team migrations Break/fix rebuild upgrades 10
Example: Morning With A Smile in Jerusalem
Windows 7 - Key Learnings for Success Apps readiness is the #1 critical path item Key determinant of when individuals or groups can migrate Planning, prioritization and enough time & resources are essential Business group partnerships Stakeholder management is key to success in any Intel IT program IT relies on the business groups as fully accountable partners OS + hardware + SSD is best for productivity That s what our users are telling us One size does not fit all Multiple migration methods are required to successfully execute a large enterprise migration plan 12
