Microsoft Launches Desktop Deployment Resource Center
By: Arie Slob• April 24, 2002 •
This week, Microsoft launched the Desktop Deployment Resource Center, a Web portal that provides IT professionals with resources to address their needs in evaluating, deploying and maintaining Microsoft® Windows XP and Office XP. Resources are indexed by product, company size and stage in migration to ensure that the most pertinent information is made available based on the business's needs.
"Our goal with the Desktop Deployment Resource Center is to provide a single portal that aggregates available information and provides direct access to Microsoft's best resources for Windows XP and Office XP deployment and management," said Stephanie Ferguson, director of PC Experience marketing at Microsoft. "To realize the reliability and productivity benefits available from Windows XP and Office XP, businesses should begin their evaluation and deployment today."
In addition to the portal, Microsoft is offering courses in various locations in the USA, as well as free online Web seminars. Additional details about the Business Desktop Deployment Tour, including a listing of cities, is available at the Windows XP Deployment Tour Web site.
The Desktop Deployment 2002 Web Seminars is a series of weekly one-hour, interactive Web events that discuss deployment strategies for Microsoft's Business Desktop. Desktop deployment technologies, tools and best practices will be showcased and discussed by Microsoft product managers and deployment specialists, followed by a moderated TechNet chat session. Each session will be available on Microsoft.com for on-demand viewing following the event and will remain posted for six months. A complete list of seminars, times and registration information is available at Microsoft's Web site.
