The Redmond company, Microsoft Corporation, launched 29 on July 2015 last July. The operating system was presented in different versions: Home, Pro, Mobile, Enterprise and Mobile Enterprise, Education IoT.
A little over a year after the public release, the DoD directive (Department of Defense) pushes towards a fast transition to Microsoft 10, imposing the 31 January 2017 date to achieve the set target, despite some reservations by some Defense sectors that believe that timeline be too aggressive.
Il Chief information officer of the DoD, Terry Halvorsen, commented: "Is this objective challenging? Absolutely yes. Will we reach the result? I think we will succeed".
The urgency to make the transition to Windows 10 like Standard Operating System it is mainly due to security reasons. Halvorsen has publicly stated that the security features and shared communication capabilities of Azure Cloud are the main reasons for its determination to reach the goal in compliance with the indicated times.
One of the most felt problems for theupgrade to Windows 10 is the compatibility with the applications of business pre-existing. US Army chief information officer, Lt. gen. Robert Farrell, raised the issue loudly.
The problem can be addressed, in part, with the rapid development of the Microsoft Dynamics platform. For example, DefenseReady is a fully integrated suite that makes all applications available mission critical and business designed to offer a 360-degree view of an organization's requirements, resources, assignments and authorizations. DefenseReady is built on Microsoft Dynamics by the company Permuta (www.permuta.com).
The application DefenseReady helps organizations to obtain a "Common Operational Picture", to consolidate and rationalize applications, to have in-depth information, data aggregation and customized views. DefenseReady guarantees real-time data and analysis available to decision makers, eliminating the bottleneck represented by having to use numerous different applications and administrators to allow rapid decision-making by leaders.
Kris Lowe, director of Business Development of exchange, explains that: "To ensure our customers are always up to date with the latest technologies such as Windows 10, DefenseReady is built and maintained with Microsoft Dynamics. We built DefenseReady for the military community. We have modified the powerful RAD platform and aligned it with the US Department of Defense terminology, best practices and business processes, while keeping the product up to date. As Microsoft updates the underlying software platform, we update business applications. Our customers thus see rapid growth in platform capabilities without having to incur the enormous expenses they would have had to incur with technological upgrades of traditional technologies.. "
Ryan Millet, CEO of Permuta says that: "Duplication of efforts and lack of workforce and visibility of operational requirements can lead to confusion and loss of time and resources. Accomplished solutions often require enormous efforts, long implementation times and time for training, without having any guarantee on the possibility of integration between the new solutions and the previous systems. DefenseReady, on the other hand, provides a comprehensive solution to optimize the information process, increase collaboration and facilitate the ability of staff, at all levels, to stay focused on the mission.
