DecisionOne Offers Solutions for Microsoft Windows 7 End of Service

WAYNE, Pa., Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionOne Corporation, the leader in Workplace IT Managed Services and Full Cycle Asset Management, today announced that it has formed a dedicated "Windows 7 Migration Services" discipline inside of its Project Management Office (PMO).

Microsoft Windows 7 operating system will reach the "End of Service" date for extended support on January 14, 2020.  Once the end date is reached, Microsoft will no longer support Windows 7 operating system with any type of patches whatsoever.  Security risks will be heightened as hackers may target these machines for security holes to exploit. 

"According to NetMarketShare and other industry sources, as of January 2018, only 34% of users have moved to Windows 10.  The impact that this could have on company infrastructure and security can't be overstated," said Dan Della Ventura, EVP at DecisionOne. "Organizations will have their hands full with the proliferation of Windows 7 on the desktop and with laptops deployed across their enterprise," Della Ventura stated.

Successfully upgrading to Windows 10 while navigating performance, compatibility and other change issues without disruption requires proven experience, certified skillsets and robust planning.  Safety threats have pervaded the news in recent years and advances in technology and applications are required responses.  However, not evey company can afford to purchase new systems –licensing and installing upgrades is a highly attractive and viable option.

"Our Project Management Office (PMO) has trained and experienced project managers, deployment teams, remote subject matter experts, and site leads.  Whether for planning or migration activities, we're set to deliver value for clients and prospects now and demand is increasing," stated Della Ventura. 

Customers around the globe will be looking for expert professional service solutions to simplify their support and migration from Windows 7 when extended support ends.  With over [1,000] highly-skilled and fully-certified W-2 field service [engineers] across North America and a state-of-the art 200,000 square feet Technology Center, DecisionOne is positioned to handle hundreds of thousands of desktop and laptop device migrations seamlessly with the highest levels of reliability and responsiveness.
