Evergreen IT
Say goodbye to application compatibility issues for continuously updated OS’s with evergreen IT.
The problem
With the introduction of Windows 10 and Microsoft’s strategic move to Windows-as-a-Service, we’ve been told to expect to see the end of major OS migration projects. Microsoft plans to deliver two OS updates a year, but are you and your applications ready for that? Most IT departments aren’t.
Stay two steps ahead
With our evergreen IT approach, we look ahead at the next two scheduled updates and make sure your applications will work with the latest releases. From our experience, around 20% of an organisation’s applications need to be updated each year.
Our service extends from adhoc packaging when you need it, all the way to an end-to-end lifecycle management service for applications, over either a 3- or 5-year period. We’ll ensure that in-scope applications are monitored, maintained and deployed, leaving you free to focus on other business priorities.
Evergreen IT services
Helping you cut the cost and time of deploying Feature Updates by regularly pre-testing your business critical applications.
Pre-testing
Technical testing of each in-scope application against each new iteration or update of the Windows 10 target environment. Applications are loaded, installed and de-install to assess their compatibility.
Reporting
We’ll tell you which of your in-scope applications will run on your current target environment within your chosen Windows cadence period (e.g. current/next/next+1 etc.)
Packaging
Applications that can’t be deployed on your chosen iteration of the OS will be re-packaged. We will also package replacements of any retired in-scope applications and any new in-scope applications.
Retesting
Technical testing of the new and re-packaged application(s) against the customer’s target environment (load / install / de-install)
