64-bit Transitioning Consulting for Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Servers
Windows 7 is available in a 64-bit version that sets a new standard for desktop reliability and capacity. However, for the majority of businesses the transition to 64-bit computing is problematic due to the requirement to make a clean installation on each workstation. This entails reconfiguring programs, saving and recovering data files, and installing new device drivers. Although companies usually are already using 64-bit hardware, the effort needed to take full advantage of this potential resource often seems excessively difficult. Yet since Microsoft Windows 7 usually requires a from-scratch installation, this represents a good opportunity to move up to 64-bit technology, which takes little additional effort. Progent's Microsoft consultants have extensive experience designing and implementing major, efficient operating system migrations of in-place desktops and can help your business get the most out of your IT dollars by performing the move to Microsoft Windows 7 and to 64-bit computing at the same time.
