Planning to move to Windows 7 ? Migration isn’t the only consideration today
How do I keep my data safe and applications secure?
Should I embrace cloud services?
How do I keep my mobile users productive?
Should employees bring their own PCs for work?
How do I manage costs?
How do I take advantage of virtualisation?
Should we go with Rich Clients or Thin Clients?

3. The Need for a Desktop Strategy The desktop is more than just an Operating System
Data & Settings
Operating System Considerations
How can users get to their environment from other PCs?
How many images will you need to maintain?
How will you handle migration?
Data & User Settings Considerations
How will you provide data security on all devices?
How will users access data from different PCs?
Is data searchable across PCs, local networks & the cloud?
Primary Desktop Challenge:
PC Components are bound together, making hardware & software difficult & expensive to replace
Solution:
Remove the hard wired dependencies and consider the layers independently
Hardware Considerations
Will consumer devices be allowed on your network?
How will you support mobile devices?
How will you manage the hardware lifecycle?
Application Considerations
How will you provide access from anywhere?
Do you know how many applications you have?
How will you manage the application lifecycle?
Applications OS
The Need for a Desktop Strategy
Essential Points to Land:
The desktop is more than the OS
Essential to have a complete desktop strategy
There are 4 essential components of the desktop: data, applications, OS, hardware: a complete desktop strategy should consider how these things work together
Storyline:
The desktop is more than just the operating system: The desktop includes the applications that make your business run, the data with which you make critical business decisions, the settings that help your employees personalize their PCs and make them more productive, and the hardware your users need to access the entire computing environment.
When making client computing decisions, it is essential to have a complete desktop strategy that considers the whole desktop -- User Settings, Data, Applications, browser, and the operating system.
Each one of these desktop components comes with its own set of challenges and considerations, which should be considered in combination with the others to achieve a strategically coherent whole.
Transition:
Regardless of your strategy, you should be able to support certain essential capabilities for your business.
