Even if organizations knew they would eventually need to migrate to a Windows operating system later, many have waited until the last minute. When Windows XP finally expires, the support will be costly and safety will be nonexistent.

In this session, you will hear not only the specific barriers that affect many migrations, but also the solutions that can help ensure a new, successful and fast migration.
