Applications usage management vendor Flexera Software is introducing a suite of software applications that it says can simplify the process of migrating businesses to Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system from Windows XP. AdminStudio Suite 10, available Tuesday, automates the transition project with a six-step process that includes inventorying apps, assessing compatibility, fixing compatibility issues and deploying the new OS. A Gartner report says migration automation tools are becoming increasingly important as enterprises face an April 2014 deadline after which Microsoft will end support of XP.
