Juriba Launches New Enterprise Windows 7 Desktop Transformation Project Planning & Deployment Software Product

HARTLEY, England, October 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

         - New product will take the effort out of enterprise Windows 7
   migration programmes, reducing the deployment time witnessed in recent

                        desktop migration history -

    Software migration expert, Juriba Limited http://www.juriba.com
today launches its Enterprise Windows 7 Planning & Deployment Software -
Juriba Dashworks - that will help large enterprise scale organisations to
accelerate and improve the accuracy of a major desktop transformation
project

programme -
such as the current Windows 7 migration
[http://www.juriba.com/windows-7-enterprise-migration-automation-with-dashworks/migrate-from-windows-xp-to-windows-7-dashworks-faq ]
requirement - whilst
reducing risk and cost by up to 15%.

    Research organisation Gartner estimates that there are 300 million
enterprise desktops that still need to be transitioned from Windows XP to
Windows 7 before Microsoft drops support in 2014 - less than 1,000 days. It
goes on to predict the cost of migration to be between $1000 and $1900 per
device.

    And while some may find this excessive, it is in fact less than the cost
incurred by one major financial institution during the NT to XP migration
seven years ago. According to Barry Angell, Chief Technology Officer at
Juriba, "The actual cost in recent desktop migration history
[http://www.juriba.com/windows-7-enterprise-migration-automation-with-dashworks/desktop-transformation-windows-7-rollout-planning-dashworks ]
was $2,200
per device and that did not include any hardware spend."

    In a recent business case however, a major financial organisation
produced a return on investment that saved 15% of project cost through using
Juriba Dashworks, when compared to relying on the traditional route of
spreadsheets and extensive resource. When it is considered that this
particular Windows 7 deployment had a budget running into tens of millions
of dollars, this saving was highly significant, and is readily repeatable.

    Angell continues, "With limited budget and a fast shrinking team, the
last thing the CIO or IT Director of a large organisation really wants to
deal with is a major desktop transformation project. Desktop migration
history shows that changing the software on the lap & desktops of thousands
of employees, the vast majority of whom cannot function or generate revenue
without them, is a task measured in years that few are likely to consider
with relish. But with Microsoft removing support for Windows XP in 2014,
planning for a desktop transformation project is becoming an increasingly
important consideration."

    Software features

    Using advanced data warehousing, user-centric profiling, business
intelligence and project scheduling techniques, Juriba's Dashworks can be
summarised as:

   
    - Out-of-the-box data warehousing - providing fast,
      agent-less, accurate business aligned user-centric and organisational
      ICT desktop and laptop profiling
    - Analytics & Rationalisation - acceleration of organisational
      Windows 7 migration compatibility analysis and software asset
      rationalisation to accelerate project quick wins in comparison to recent
      desktop migration history
    - Project deployment readiness - provides a single version of
      project truth for clear scheduling of end-to-end Windows 7 migration
      management.

across the UK. Over the last three years, Juriba has implemented and
developed its Dashworks desktop transformation software solution for over
500,000 end users in countries worldwide, including the UK and USA.

    Pricing and availability

    The product is launched with immediate availability. Pricing is based
upon market prices of desktop migration history and the number of thousands
of users being managed and is typically in the range of GBP5-GBP10 per user
per annum.
