London, UK – 12th October, 2009, ChangeBASE AOK, the world leader in automated application compatibility testing and remediation today announces the signing of a global partnership agreement with Getronics.
Getronics has been working with ChangeBASE on implementing AOK technology into its RDX (Rapid Deployment eXperience) methodologies to help clients upgrade to new operating environments such as Windows 7 and Application Virtualisation.
This integration has now been completed and Getronics is in the process of rolling out this new service offering into its 18 countries and from its international remote management centers
Coen Olde Olthof, Vice President of Marketing & Portfolio Getronics, comments: “As a global leader in helping organisations migrate to new technologies, Getronics is committed to offering our customers the best solution to migrate to Windows 7. Our customers regard application compatibility as the main hurdle in making this transition. ChangeBASE AOK delivers one of the critical parts of Getronics’ Windows 7 readiness assessment. We have integrated both our technologies, resulting in a valuable service around Windows 7 readiness testing. This offering quickly provides our customers with concrete information on their application readiness and reports
how ChangeBASE AOK can remediate most of the detected issues. In our experience, using this significantly reduces the application remediation effort for our customers. We are excited to work with ChangeBASE in delivering this unique service which helps improve our customers personal performance and increase their business results.”
John Tate, Managing Director of ChangeBASE adds. ‘We are delighted that Getronics has selected AOK as their global tool of choice to report on and resolve application compatibility issues. With Windows 7 due to be launched very shortly, we are seeing a huge interest from organisations wanting to sort out application compatibility issues quickly and cheaply. Getronics has a strong track record in desktop migrations and its global reach puts the company in a great position to offer AOK as part of its service to clients.”
