Check out the article titled How to Ensure Your Virtual Desktop Initiative Succeeds written by Martin Pladgeman, 10ZiG President, which outlines tips for a success virtual desktop deployment.
Here’s an excerpt:
Before you start down the road of Proof-of-Concepts, Pilots, etc. you have to do some investigation first. What are some of the questions to ask of your IT organization leaders?
- Try asking your desktop support lead how many calls and desk-side support trips result from OS or application related problems.
- Ask your security lead about the gaps that remain to ensure that your data is secure and can be accessed only by who has authorization.
- We all know that the business runs on applications, so the applications team lead should be in here as well don’t you agree? Ask them what the characteristics of all “corporate-approved” apps, like performance, availability, and compatibility requirements are.
- And finally, from the business perspective, ask the senior business managers about what objections and push-back the business users might raise about giving up some control over “their” workstations and laptops.
