Overview Deloitte Netherlands is a professional services firm with a highly mobile workforce - and customers and employees who expect it to use the latest technology. Staying current with technology not only helps draw and retain top talent, but also drives the firm's three-year hardware refresh cycle. In October 2007, Deloitte Netherlands rolled out the Windows Vista Enterprise operating system and the 2007 Microsoft Office system on 6,000 new notebook and 1,000 desktop computers. By taking advantage of software imaging and end-user training, the company avoided productivity interruptions for its 6,000 employees who followed migration preparation guidelines.
