For many organizations, the migration to Windows 7 represents the biggest change action ever faced. Despite a myriad of tools and solutions, however, many organizations are ill-prepared for the migration, lacking the basic information about the compatibility of their hardware and software IT environment. BDNA is the ticket to an easier ride.
The BDNA Windows 7 Migration Solution – leveraging BDNA Normalize and your existing desktop management information – brings a laser focus to Windows 7 visibility and migration management questions. Tapping your current deployment of Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager or other solutions, BDNA Normalize transforms the raw data from your solution into a normalized list of hardware and software products as well as enriching the data with Windows 7 compatibility information.
Specifically, the BDNA Windows 7 Migration Solution provides the following benefits:
- Immediate Value: BDNA Normalize requires zero changes to your existing SCCM deployment – either via on-premise or cloud based offerings – and delivers a picture of your Windows 7 readiness immediately
- Reduced Analysis Cost: Tapping into BDNA Technopedia, BDNA Normalize automatically tags your software installations with Windows 7 application compatibility data, drastically reducing manual efforts to understand your current state
- Informed Decisions: BDNA Normalize – via BDNA Technopedia – provides additional information to guide who and when to upgrade, such as hardware lifecycle information
“We've seen what BDNA brings to the solutions we implement for our customers, and it's always nothing short of outstanding. BDNA adds value in so many Configuration Manager-based initiatives—Windows 7 migration, consolidation, software license management, application rationalization—it really has become a staple ingredient in our customer solution cookbook”
