NIBR: Rollout Windows 7 to 5’000 Clients globally
Our Windows XP based Windows Client build became long in the tooth. Slow hardware, complex and long installations were major issues in everyday usage. We’ve created a new build based on Windows 7 - 64 bit. Because we had more than 2’000 client applications, we’ve created a data-driven approach to start the rollout although not all applications were available. For this, we created an AppStore where we tracked application readiness. Mapping AppStore data to installations allowed us to create a dynamic rollout schedule, allowing us to start early.
