Vista Build Management
Overview
Making the move to the Microsoft ® Windows ® Vista™ operating system will force wholesale changes to the Service Delivery and Service Support functions in your organisation. Unlike previous operating system upgrades that were fairly organic in the approach to change, the Windows Vista operating systems deployment presents some new technologies and an entirely new method of managing your deployment processes.
Microsoft has already provided the Business Desktop Deployment Planning Services (BDD) 2007 guides to outline the core areas that your business should consider when undertaking a migration to Windows Vista. Using our position as a Microsoft gold partner and our extensive knowledge of the Business Desktop Planning Services offering, Camwood’s Windows Vista Build Management solution will allow you to gain control of your desktop lifecycle process and take you to another level by providing your decision makers with detailed information about Windows Vista, the all important interaction of Windows Vista with your applications, the effort it will take to deploy into your environment and the benefits that it brings.
Camwood believe that our approach will allow your organisation the freedom to select a solution that best suits your needs and abilities to successfully migrate to Microsoft ® Windows ® Vista™.
Reduce the Demand on IT Resources
As part of the Gartner Infrastructure Optimisation Initiative (IOI), the Desktop Lifecycle capability is considered as perhaps the largest contributor to a businesses infrastructure maturity level, as the desktop is the core system that is used by the greatest number of people. A build management solution will help the IT department reduce the IT labour Costs, in turn lowering the Total Cost of Ownership delivering greater value to the business.
Business Briefing
A business briefing session will be held with the business decision makers to examine the current business objectives in order to deliver a clear picture of how an improved build management process will help you reach your business goals.
Topics covered will include features and benefits of deploying Windows Vista including migrating applications, automated deployment and desktop management.
Camwood believe that this process will provide your organisation with the following:
- A blueprint for the business demonstrating medium term and strategic recommendations for deriving the maximum benefit from your IT investment.
- Assurance that IT is a cost effective business service.
Design Briefing
A design briefing will be used to deliver in-depth technical information on build management and to determine how best to integrate the new technology into your existing environment. The session will also be used to map the business objectives to technology solutions; describe roles and communication flows.
Camwood believe that this process will include presentations, product demonstrations and whiteboard sessions covering the following topics:
- Reviewing the current environment
- Reviewing the Business objectives and solution mapping
- Application Interaction and Packaging Issues
- Deployment Techniques
- Deployment Processes
