App-DNA offers free Windows 7 Application Migration Checklist

App-DNA, the application compatibility specialist, has produced a free checklist for enterprises planning their Windows 7 migrations.

The ‘Windows 7 Application Migration Checklist’ contains useful tips and insights into App-DNA’s experience with the previous six Microsoft OS and Service Pack migrations. A quick and easy read, it offers significant value by helping enterprises to save time and effort.

“Windows 7 is a stable next-generation desktop OS. Getting there needn’t be a nightmare,” says Mike Welling, CEO of App-DNA. “Most applications will migrate with no issues - you just need to know which ones need help.”

Quick and efficient migration is a priority for enterprises because the costs associated with a badly executed migration can be onerous. Therefore it pays to get as much information and planning done with plenty of time to spare. The Windows 7 Application Migration Checklist provides a simple framework for a successful, trouble-free migration, under the headings discover, analyse, plan and validate.

In addition to this it offers helpful resources and tools for IT staff to use in the planning and execution of their migration. Tips include: what the initial stages should involve, how you can leverage your assets for business as usual, and the ways that targeted testing saves time and money.

“We are seeing interest in making the move to Windows 7 ramp up very quickly in the Enterprise space, so we wanted to share a list of the steps which we know are key in getting applications migrated to the new platform as quickly and efficiently as possible,” adds Mike Welling.

“We’ve worked on a huge number of these migrations already, and if done properly, it can be pain-free and risk-free, enabling companies to quickly reap the benefits of Windows 7.”
