Springboard tour UK–Free deployment training for Win7 and Office 2010

Springboard is the place to find great resources for Windows 7 and Office 2010 deployment (as well as my blog obviously!)  The Springboard team will be hitting the campus Reading in the UK on November 1st to talk about:

  • Riding the Windows 7 and Office 2010 Wave
  • Office 2010 Investments for IT
  • Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Application Compatibility in 30 Minutes
  • Application Virtualization and Deployment
  • Moving from XP and Office 2003 to Windows 7 and Office 2010 – A Deep Dive into MDT and P2V
  • Desktop Management and Support

All wrapped up with a panel Q&A.  There will be lunch and coffee obviously as well as the rare opportunity to talk to the gang.  You’ll need to register for the event here

I’m really excited about this event, so the first three people to register and tweet me @simonster will get a copy of Windows 7 Pocket Consultant when I see you at the event!

Lots of people are looking at how they should go about deploying Windows 7 in their organisation, a few I’ve seen first hand are struggling to understand how to migrate.  One of the major steps in planning your deployment is probably to build a proof of concept to see just how easy it is and just what the pitfalls are in your organisation.  Have you thought about your application compatibility, are you making the most of things by deploying Office at the same time?

Our Springboard Series resources around Building a Proof of Concept came up in meeting the other day and there really is some great stuff in there.

I’ll be back looking at some of the fun around various aspects of a deployment soon, but if you want a specific question answered then post a comment and I’ll try – or if you want to keep your identity secret because you work for a criminal mastermind in his secret-but-very-expensive volcanic layer filled with retro furniture then drop me an email using the form.
