After months of discussion and budgetary planning, you've been given the green light to go ahead with your Windows 7 initiative. Phew! But now what? There's so much to do that it can seem like an impossible task just deciding where to begin.  Join three Eden experts as we walk you through the basics of a Windows 7 Readiness Assessment.  We will conduct the webinar as a condensed version of a consulting engagement giving you a sense of the questions you should be asking yourself as you plan your migration.  Attend this webinar on Wednesday, March 21 at 12:00pm (EST) and you'll leave with a strategic roadmap helping you decide where to begin, and how to keep moving forward without feeling overwhelmed.

Everyone has heard it, XP Support will end in April 2014 but what does that really mean to your organization, your technical environment and your Windows 7 project? While April 2014 may not conjure up the same type of fear that a Dec. 21 doomsday prediction does, the reality is that your organization can't afford to go without Microsoft support.   Without ongoing security updates and patches, outdated environments will be vulnerable to malicious malware and viruses, failed compliance audits, and an abundance of other serious risks.  While the focus has been on XP support, there are other critical apps ending their support cycle as well.    Join us on Tuesday, April 10th at 12:00pm (EST) to gain a complete understanding of what exactly will happen to outdated environments in April, 2014 and ways we can prepare.

Winter may be all but over - and if you live in the Tri-State Area, you're not sure it ever started - but there's still reason to bundle up. If you're thinking about migrating to Windows 7, but are burdened with a variety of other projects that may be of higher priority, take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Bundle a few projects into one.   Here are a few examples:

Asset Management:   If Asset Management is a project that has been on your plate for a while, take advantage of the hardware and software inventories you have to do to complete your Windows 7 migration.  While you may not have the bandwidth to plan an entire Asset Management process right away , you will at least have a starting point.   

Mobile Management:  Everyone is talking about it and most organizations are doing pieces of it but when it comes down to it, the foundation of a mobile management strategy starts with having a handle on Assets, Data and Security.  Take advantage of your Windows 7 planning to position your environment for the future.
