Next Generation Desktop

The working environment has changed dramatically from the original days of Windows XP. Today, employees and businesses alike expect greater mobility, ease-of-use, security and efficiency. Windows 7 promises to deliver on these expectations, but only when part of a carefully constructed desktop strategy that takes business demands and user requirements into account.

Dimension Data’s Next Generation Desktop combines Windows 7 with virtualisation technologies and systems management to create a new client computing environment that is more efficient, adaptive and enables the working environment of today and tomorrow.

Dimension Data recommends looking beyond the operating system at user profiles, business applications and working requirements when defining your desktop strategy. Our own early Windows 7 deployment experience and history in desktop deployment, systems management and integration have been rolled into the Next Generation Desktop Readiness Assessment.

The three-day assessment helps you to identify where your business would like to go with its desktop estate (their vision).  It provides a pragmatic project-based roadmap for getting there, based on where they are today and the profile of their users and applications used. We assist them with a technology review and offer guidance based on our experience in deploying hundreds-of-thousands of desktops for clients around the world.

If you are thinking about deploying Windows 7, virtualisation or communications applications, or need to understand how to get the most out of your desktop estate, contact Dimension Data for a Next Generation Desktop Assessment to help migrate your current desktop environment to its desired state.
