Resource: How to prepare for and deploy Windows 10 in your organization

I believe in not doing work that is unnecessary.

Now, I do not mean being lazy or slacking off when I say avoid work if possible. I mean do not reinvent the wheel if it is not absolutely required to do so.

I am always on the lookout for resources to help me move forward with projects and other activities because they can give me a base to start from and then I can modify the resource to fit my unique needs and situations.

That is why I am a big fan of Microsoft's IT Showcase site because they have been there and done most of the things many of you are doing or will be doing in the future. Through the Microsoft IT Showcase they share those experiences, lessons learned and other materials so that you do not have to repeat those same mistakes.

The latest edition to the Microsoft IT Showcase is a collection of materials that layout the planning, deployment and post deployment support for the rollout of Windows 10 across Microsoft.

Here is an outline of this package, all of which is available for review and download from the Microsoft IT Showcase.

"Microsoft has learned many lessons from years of deploying major operating system updates to a globally diverse and highly mobile workforce. Among the most important is this: A technically sound base of code isn't enough. Successfully transitioning to a new technology also requires that organizations plan ahead with thoughtful and proactive communications, deploy the upgrade with expertise and speed, and support employees with post-deployment training and materials. The good news is we're here to help."

Plan - Readiness and Communication

Deploy - Technical reference and documentation

Support - Post-deployment productivity

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.
