Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment Is Now Available for Customers and Partners
REDMOND, Wash. -- Aug. 20, 2003 -- Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of the Microsoft® Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD). The accelerator is a new offering that can reduce tasks for deployment of Windows® XP Professional, Office XP Professional and Office Professional Edition 2003 by up to 75 percent per desktop, helping enable enterprises to realize the value of their software investments more quickly. The new Microsoft Services (MCS) zero touch service builds on BDD to completely automate the installation process and adds a provisioning engine to enable outsourcing partners to build new managed desktop solutions.
The Solution Accelerator for BDD offers prescriptive directions for using existing deployment tools. The accelerator helps enterprises plan and manage their entire upgrade process, with best practices, scripts and operational guidance for tasks such as organizing a deployment team, setting up a pilot program and managing application migration. The Solution Accelerator for BDD also enables outsourcing partners to implement deployment solutions and value-added services using repeatable best practices customizable to the customer's needs.
"When it comes to rolling out new software, enterprises are primarily focused on reducing deployment cost and minimizing the time needed to get the new software in the hands of information workers," said Chris Jones, vice president of the Windows Client Group at Microsoft. "The Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment helps both customers and partners reach these goals by offering step-by-step guidance throughout the whole process, as well as comprehensive resources for customization to meet specific needs."
