Houston, TX and London UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2009 -- Scalable Software (http://www.scalable.com), a leader in IT Asset Lifecycle Management solutions, today announced an enhanced version of WinINSTALL 10, the newest version of its PC Lifecycle and Configuration Management solution. WinINSTALL 10 now includes support for both Windows 7 and Server 2008.

IT organizations require solutions to help enable business continuity through the transition to Windows 7. WinINSTALL 10 helps manage change efficiently and seamlessly with automated hardware inventory assessment, deployment, application compatibility mitigation and OS, application, data and settings migration.

By automating the complex tasks involved in a Windows XP to Windows 7 migration, WinINSTALL 10 drastically simplifies the process of getting over the ‘Vista Hump’. Using WinINSTALL 10 eliminates the multi-step migration process which typically involves many trips to the desktop. This zero-touch process allows IT Administrators to spend just minutes per PC instead of hours; ultimately enabling them to migrate more PCs per day, saving time and money.

"One of the most common complaints corporate users have with Windows 7 is the lack of an easy migration process from Windows XP. Microsoft provides a direct upgrade path only from Windows Vista which isn’t widely deployed," said Mark Cresswell, Scalable President and CEO. "Our new WinINSTALL release will help our customers confidently reduce the time, cost and complexity of migrating to Windows 7 from Windows XP while maintaining employee productivity.”

Enhancements for Comprehensive PC Lifecycle Management across the Enterprise

"I've had great success in the past migrating to Windows XP using WinINSTALL's Zero Touch PXE process,” said Alberto Parente, Kajima Corporation. “I am thrilled to learn that WinINSTALL is now supporting Windows 7 deployment over PXE along with data and user personality setting migrations from Windows XP. I look forward to utilizing these exciting capabilities.”

Implementing the Right Tools to make the Difficult Move from Windows XP to Windows 7

“I’ve used WinINSTALL in the past at my previous company, and decided it would be a valuable asset,” said Mark Russell of television broadcaster, GMTV, “Working with Scalables partner, E-Net Europe, we were able to implement WinINSTALL quickly and effectively into our network. WinINSTALL’s easy to use interface and strong functionality make managing and rebuilding our desktops easier than ever. The task of migrating our systems to the new Windows 7 platform from Windows XP is something I am now approaching with more confidence thanks to WinINSTALL. In addition, the support team members are always on hand to help at a moment’s notice, and are very professional.”
