Prepare for the migration to Windows 11 in a large enterprise environment
While Microsoft has worked to make the migration to Windows 11 as seamless as possible, preparing the enterprise for a smooth, seamless migration to Windows 11 requires an appropriate amount of planning and piloting in advance of the production migration. Identifying the appropriate distribution methodologies, performing application and device compatibility testing and creating/distributing user awareness and adoption training materials are some examples of the most crucial steps to ensure a successful migration in the enterprise.
This engagement will ensure a migration to Windows 11 is as smooth as possible using proven methodologies for preparing, testing and executing a pilot migration of devices to Windows 11. Throughout the course of the engagement, the following objectives will be achieved:
