SCC has highlighted the fact
that the IT industry is entering a make or break period for
organisations considering the upgrade to Windows 7.
SCC’s
view is that the next two years represent a critical stage in the
evolution of the corporate desktop. With the security, efficiency and
environmental benefits of Windows 7 well established, a range of
compelling factors are set to see uptake of the updated operating system
peak over the coming months.
"There
isn’t one big reason why the next two years will be a pivotal point in
the migration to Windows 7, but there are a lot of small ones that when
combined will deliver the final push towards industry’s wholesale
adoption of the system. Everything from the need for greater security
and environmental performance through to user demands to work with the
technologies they use at home will contribute to that,” said Rhys Sharp,
SCC’s Chief Technology Officer.
SCC
has seen an upsurge in demand for Windows 7 deployments, and that with
Microsoft scheduled to begin withdrawing support for the XP platform in
2014, interest in migration is approaching its peak. With user concerns
over application compatibility addressed and improvements in security,
environmental impact and ease of management proven after a year in the
wild, SCC believes that organisations will begin to significantly ramp
up their upgrade plans over the next 12 months.
SCC
also believes that the consumerisation of IT, which is increasingly
seeing workers able to walk into their work environments with devices
capable of bypassing their organisation’s IT controls could have a
serious impact on security.
“Windows
7 has its own place in a cultural shift where workers can become
unsatisfied or demotivated if their work experience compares
unfavourably with the technologies they use at home. Like it or not, the
business sector is being sucked into the whirlwind that has changed the
face of consumer IT in less than five years,” said Sharp.
“Equally
compelling will be the fact that organisations leaving it too late to
start out on the upgrade path could find themselves squeezed by an
inevitable surge in demand in the final months of XP’s supported
lifecycle. The clock is ticking, and for businesses that run out of time
the consequences could be serious.”

The Future of Digital Media - No More Physical CopiesMay 15, 2011 - 2:37:06 AM The advent of the compact disc (CD), and later the digital versatile disc (DVD) were, at the times of their respective creation, were thought to be the end all and be all of media storage and playback. There have been other types of digital media designed for the mass market such as digital audio tapes (DAT's), mini disc's (MD's) to name but a couple of mediums that were at the time, touted as the next big thing to revolutionize how we stored, listened to and watched our digital media.
