Windows 11
Readiness

Accelerate Windows 11

Adoption

Upgrading to Microsoft Windows 11 comes with its challenges, namely around devices and applications simply not being capable of running on this latest version. What this means is that before migration, you need to understand what applications are compatible and will work, which ones you need to modernise, and then how this impacts the end users in terms of deployment.

Our Windows 11 Readiness service takes care of the applications, devices and users and ensures a planned and successful deployment. We do this by combining into one service device readiness and automated application smoke testing, with mapping readiness to user groups, providing you with a single view of remediation activities needed to move ahead.

Assess

Windows 11 Readiness Audit

A fall out of the rapid emergence of multiple modern technologies is that it’s common for IT teams to have a limited, decentralised understanding of their physical device and application estate. This prevents accurate foresight into the impact of adopting Windows 11.

Camwood’s Windows 11 Readiness Audit addresses this and provides detailed insight on user, device and application readiness.

hardware requirement checks across the entire physical device estate
identify devices to keep, upgrade or refresh
captures and ensures business critical applications are not impacted by the adoption of Windows 11
identify user, device, departmental and geographical readiness
recommend pilot group candidates based on readiness score and application usage

Gain a clear picture of which applications are compatible with Window’s 11 hardware requirements and assess device, user and applications readiness for migration.

Compatability

is key to move ahead

Modernise

Compatibility Testing & Remediation

Once you have a clear understanding of how ready your devices, applications and users are for migration, compatibility testing can take place to test, remediate and modernise any areas that are delaying deployment.

Automated testing of key applications for compatibility with Windows 11
Smoke test and refresh or remediation activity report
Identify which user groups are ready for deployment and which are blocked

Let the experts make sure

you’re always up to date
