Making Migration Easier


Migrating to a new operating system is a lot more complicated than any other application migration. Before making the big move, you need to take a look at the rest of your IT ecosystem: Make sure you know exactly what is compatible with the new OS, what isn't, and what solutions you need before you migrate.

In this episode of E2 radio, learn about the tools and techniques that can make the migration process smoother and faster by helping you find and mitigate potential problems before they become unpleasant surprises.

Join E2 editors and our guest, Greg Lambert, Product Evangelist for Quest Software, now part of Dell. Greg is a co-founder of ChangeBASE, part of the Dell/Quest Software portfolio. He has considerable experience with application packaging technology and its deployment. Before setting up ChangeBASE, Lambert worked primarily in the financial services sector, delivering application projects for many leading banks and financial institutions.
