Eden Technologies Presents "What Will The End Of XP Support REALLY Mean To You" Webinar Session

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, NY, April 3, 2012 – Eden Technologies, the Northeast region’s premiere U.S.-based, enterprise-level IT consulting and managed services provider, is pleased to present the webinar, “What will the end of XP Support Really Mean to You?” on Wednesday, April 10 at 12pm (EST).  In this short, but informative webinar, Eden Experts will take a deeper look at how the end of XP support will impact your organization and how you should prepare.

While the focus in the media has been on the end of support for Windows XP, Microsoft will also pull the plug on a number of widely used applications such as IE 6 and 7, Microsoft Exchange 2003, Office 2003 (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher, InfoPath, Project, Vision, FrontPage and OneNote), SharePoint Portal Server 2003, SQL Server 2008, and Dynamics NAV 2009.  The end of support on these commonly used business applications can impact Windows 7 planning, complexity and deployment.  

“Unfortunately the end of XP Support and other key applications puts organizations in an all or nothing situation,” says Andrew Sweeney, Partner, Eden Technologies.  “To protect your assets from security breaches and failed compliance audits you must upgrade these applications.  All it takes is one unpatched workstation or server to be vulnerable.”

This webinar is for anyone who needs more insight into what is changing and how to prepare. We’ll talk about what you’ll lose with the end of support, the importance of patching, the steps you’ll need to take to make sure all of your assets, including hardware drivers, are up-to-date and Windows 7-compatible, and we’ll tell you what other applications have 2014 support deadlines.

Part III of Eden’s Spring Into Windows 7 Webinar series “The Windows 7 Snowball Effect - Managing Multiple IT Initiatives while Migrating to Windows 7” will be held on Tuesday, May 15 at (12pm EST.)   This webinar will help attendees get a better hold on how to balance a Windows 7 migration with the many other IT initiatives that are on their plates.
