QTS Press Release

Release Date: September 4, 2001

QTS Announces Windows 2000 and Windows XP Deployment Service

South Orange, NJ, September 4, 2001 - Quality Technology Solutions, Inc. (“QTS”) today announced its QuikWin™ service for migrating customers to Windows 2000 Professional and, upon its release, Windows XP Professional.  These Microsoft desktop operating systems provide a high level of reliability and performance that improves employee productivity and effectiveness, and allows them to run newer applications software that adds capabilities and features.

“QTS has had a long history of success in Windows migrations, dating back to moving DOS users to Windows 3.1 and Windows 95,” noted Neil Rosenberg, President and CEO of QTS.  “The technology changes, but the process for a successful migration really isn’t all that different.  The key to executing a non-disruptive, successful conversion is planning, testing and project management.  That’s the key of what we bring to the table – our methodology.”

QTS’ Windows 2000 and XP migration service is based on a carefully planned, staged process consisting of:

  • Assessment – Review the customer’s PCs, software and network, as well as business needs and issues, to determine what computers can be upgraded, which need to be replaced, and what applications software may need to be upgraded or changed as well.
  • Prototyping – Building the prototype PC images, configuring printing and applications software, preparing computers for the Pilot team.
  • Pilot Project – To test the system with a small group of users who can find the problems, verify what is and is not working, and work with QTS to test the fixes.
  • Evaluate – Review the results from the Pilot Project and verify everything is working properly, before cutting over the bulk of the users.
  • Cutover – Deploy the new operating system and applications to the users, following a carefully designed plan to avoid disruption, data loss and productivity loss.

To implement the conversion, a QTS Project Manager will track the project from start to finish, ensuring consistency in planning and execution.  Every issue or problem is tracked, and constant communication with the customer ensures that all issues are resolved in each stage before proceeding to the next stage of the project.  The post-Pilot acceptance testing is critical to ensure that the prototype system(s) developed by QTS fully meet the customers’ needs, and don’t have any problems that will prevent users from working or impede productivity.

“Cutover is the trickiest part,” noted Rosenberg.  “This is where all the planning, testing and preparation makes such a huge difference.  But there are always going to be issues, and the methodology here is so critical.  Computer users can’t afford to lose data, have programs they rely on taken away, or have significant down-time.  If the cutover is handled properly, this doesn’t have to happen.”
