Reacting to end-user PC issues is the obvious #1 task at hand for all help desk staff. But what about other types of help desk owned projects that require a little more planning? Bringing on a new user, migrating to a new operating system or maybe just switching out machines for end users – all of these tasks require a more proactive approach. Finding a way to automate desktop configuration and easily move a user’s desktop, including user data and customized settings, is often neglected despite being one of the biggest challenges facing the help desk today.
Resource Conservation
It’s all about saving you time. Maybe you’ve automated the Windows® operating system migration/upgrade process – maybe not. Maybe you’ve got a system in place that eases the burden of a massive PC refresh cycle – maybe you don’t. Regardless of your approach, there is a significant burden in assisting every end-user with re-personalizing their desktop after an OS migration or PC change. Keeping productivity levels high is difficult during any PC change, but with Track-It! PC Migrate you can reduce the time and effort needed to keep end-user profiles, data, and custom settings intact. Ramp up time for new operating systems is made easy since your end-user will instantly have access to everything that was familiar to them on their old desktop.

PC Migrate.
Freedom to Simply…Make Ad-Hoc PC Changes
No more unnecessary cycles on routine tasks – let Track-It! PC Migrate dramatically reduce the cost and labor of any ad-hoc PC upgrade/change.
