Most organisations tend to purchase a computer with an operating system pre-installed on it, and then run that OS for the life of the computer. Furthermore, where there is a perceived need for all the computers in an office to be running the same OS, new computers are installed down to the oldest version of the OS on site. This can lead to a world where you are too intimidated to attempt any update at all, and there things remain. Any office that is currently based around Microsoft Windows NT, or even worse, Microsoft Windows 98 will understand this.

It is worth biting the bullet and facing the upgrades. These older OSs are lapsing from the support cycle and new vulnerabilities are not being addressed by the vendors. This can lead to serious security holes. Furthermore, you and your users are missing out on key features and benefits that make working on a computer a more productive and pleasurable experience.

And the pain of upgrading is rarely anywhere near as great as is feared. Dean & Hilton can audit your desktop infrastructure, and come up with a process plan to bring all your systems up to speed with a minimum of disruption.
