CUSTOMER CASE STUDY An industry-leader with products and solutions across approximately 160 countries was in need of a major operating system and hardware upgrade. The company turned to its PC technology partner Lenovo to deliver the hardware, system migration tools, and global service they needed. The Lenovo Imaging Technology Center helped create a customized image, and conduct an enterprise-wide pilot for the migration of the laptop software image. The large scale migration, using Lenovo’s System Migration Assistant tool, moved all data and applications settings to the correct locations in the deployed Windows® 7 solution. For desktops, the Lenovo Imaging Technology Center developed an InPlace Migration solution to transition from Windows® XP to Windows 7, while retaining the user’s local data. Each system’s migration was completed in minutes. This created a unified migration process for laptops and desktops across the environment which was essential for a company this large.
The company was able to meet its goal of equipping most of its
50,000 employees
with new PCs within nine months. Individual time spent on the migration was reduced by
75% globally without the need for desk-side support.
