Microsoft Windows XP is gradually drawing to the end of its support as we move into 2013 next year. Many organisations have yet to budget or plan what impact this is likely to have on their environment. There are several approaches available; one popular option worth considering is delivering a virtual desktop. Virtual desktop delivery provides the added benefit of speed of deployment, as well as providing flexible options for workers to be able to use almost any device from any location to access their data. Foundation IT is able to offer help, assistance and advice on what methods and options are available to you. Regardless of whether you decide to go virtual or not, there are still things that you will need to consider such as application compatibility, profile migration and OS deployment.
