Tags:
business management

Overview Large scale upgrades of core productivity software can be intimidating to any IT organization, including Microsoft. How smooth will the upgrade process be? Will it work with existing software? Has anyone performed an upgrade like this in the past? Questions like these plague the mind of every IT manager. The presenter of this webcast will navigate the planning and deployment of Office 2003 conducted by Microsoft's Operations and Technology Group (OTG) for the company itself. By coordinating with teams from Windows, Exchange Server, and SharePoint Portal Server, deployment of Office 2003 was delivered to nearly 70,000 workstations - leveraging existing technology and having minimal impact to users.
