One size does not fit all and every business has its own unique needs. The real challenge is not XP to Windows 7 or VDI, it’s from unknown to managed, it’s about enabling business change. Gaining a comprehensive snapshot of the PC estate is the basis for planning that change. Getronics has the experience, processes and tools to undertake a holistic analysis of an estate and the applications in use. This analysis identifies which applications are compatible with which delivery platform and what hardware is suitable for retention in the new environment. During the process we examine what applications are in use and how widely and whether they are business justified, whether licensing reflects the real use and if economies of scale are being properly applied in purchasing, which applications can be migrated and virtualised, which will need changes. Most importantly we look at transformation cost and how long will it take.

The output produced by the process delivers as a minimum a firm base for project planning and provides a baseline for asset management and CMDB creation. A managed estate enables rather than hinders change and development and Getronics is one of the worlds leading experts on workspace management. For some of our credentials please see below:
