Windows 7 Migration Best Practices

8

8


A Common Testing Environment for Early Adopters

9

Intel IT created a carefully controlled

workflow for 3,000 application owners

to assist with application migration.


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

Windows* 8 Migration General Planning Considerations

1) Rationalization and prioritization of application

portfolio critical first step

2) Migration strategies and hardware selections should

vary based on user needs and current OS and PC Fleet

status

3) Deployment options:

• Mobile Side-by-Side: Windows* 7/8 app compatibility on Intel®

architecture makes side-by-side deployments viable

• BYOD Support: Windows* 8 on Intel brings business-class

manageability and security with great consumer experience

• Enterprise Refresh: Upgrading Intel hardware with Windows* 7/8

maximizes value/benefits to users and IT

IT is Adjusting to the Shifting Dynamics of

OS Upgrades

23

• OS upgrades have moved to an annual cadence

• The OS won’t wait for the Apps

• We need a different approach

Application Readiness Culture Shift

• Application development is an iterative process

• Application owners must keep their applications compatible

• Application readiness testing and remediation will be an ongoing activity

Test

Develop

Design

Plan

Deploy

Applications must continually be ready for users on a multitude of OS’s and browsers


Summary

We are deploying Windows 8 across all platforms, with a focus on touch!

We are deploying Windows 8 NOW

Touch Business Ultrabooks, 2 in 1 devices, and Intel Atom Tablets

with Windows 8 improve the mobile experience and productivity

We continue to explore new features and use cases

24

An application strategy is critical for Windows transitions – plan

for a regular upgrade cadence and a cultural shift to keep

applications and OS current
