This is accomplished through the use of virtualization, automation and management technologies.

Millions of people are using SharePoint Online and the pending release of Office 365 will only add fuel to the fire. Most companies stop at using SharePoint as a document management platform.

Platform as a service (PaaS) offers tremendous potential to accelerate organizational agility and lower cost.

Developing edge applications provides immediate value, lowers costs, and allows you to maintain control on security and data.
We'll share the experiences of several companies that took an edge approach to existing solutions written in .NET, Java, PHP and COBOL. We'll share ideas and practices on utilizing Azure to get quicker access to data, to better collaborate with partners, suppliers, vendors and customers, and learn key developmental milestones in utilizing PaaS.

On demand webcast: Is Your Windows 7 Migration Painting You In a Corner?
Event Type: WebcastOn Demand Register Here
As businesses are planning their move to Windows 7 many are finding that a fundamental shift is occurring with respect to end-user computing. The computer-centric model which has served enterprise IT since the beginning of client/server computing is being replaced with a new, user-centric model. In this new model, workplace services need to be designed and managed differently.
The transition to Windows 7 typically requires analysis and redesign of management infrastructure, user configurations, and application portfolios -- many of the same high level activities you'd use in transitioning to this new service model. Too many organizations aren't connecting the two and are painting themselves into a corner. The ramifications of the decisions made in transitioning to Windows 7 will have a lasting impact far beyond the OS migration.
- The changes and patterns in user-centric computing we have been seeing with our enterprise clients
- Common pitfalls and failures in the move to Windows 7
Avanade's approach to move to Windows 7 migration within the broader transition to a user-centric computing model
