Dell's Windows Migration Fast Forward Service helps customers jump-start a new migration or fast-forward one already in progress with unique tools and proven practices to ensure readiness. This, in addition to migration solutions from Dell Software, provides for a smoother, more cost-effective migration to enable users to benefit more quickly from state-of-the-art feature rich application suites.

As the 2012 and 2013 U.S. Windows Deployment Partner of the Year and the 2013 U.S. Windows Partner of the Year, Dell Services deploys more than a million enterprise-class Windows 7 and Windows 8 devices in over 150 countries each year.

Dell's Windows Migration Fast Forward Service offers pre-packaged modules to address all stages in the Windows migration process for up to 5,000 PCs including: image engineering, inventory and rationalization of applications, application compatibility testing, application packaging, deployment planning, process automation and field deployment.

This gives customers the flexibility to choose the package of services that best fits their needs while streamlining the process to save time and money.

"About 21 percent of PCs are still running Windows XP. This is an industry-wide issue that many of our customers are dealing with right now," says Kevin Jones, VP and GM, Infrastructure and Cloud Computing Services.

"Our goal is to provide organizations of all sizes with an efficient migration solution. The Windows Migration Fast Forward Service adds to Dell's complete suite of migration offerings that make upgrading to Windows 7 or Windows 8 fast, simple and affordable," added Jones.
