Desktop Deployment Planning Services (DDPS)

The single largest cost your company faces in managing hundreds of desktops is the human resources it requires to deploy, support, manage, and maintain an efficient infrastructure with a modern desktop environment. Computer configurations require that your IT professionals have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to remain agile when working with mobile devices, desktop computers, or laptops. Manual administration takes time, money, and staff, so minimizing the challenge is always a top priority. A successful deployment can lead to higher usage and productivity. It can also result in a lower cost infrastructure and improved return on your software investment.

Microsoft Desktop Deployment Planning Services offers 1 to 15 days of deployment planning services, based on the amount of Microsoft Software Assurance purchased on Microsoft Office software. This service introduces the most advanced techniques, processes, and tools to your company. The services you receive are based on your unique needs to help you achieve the most cost-effective desktop environment.

PC Professional provides the fundamental analysis, business case, process, and technical procedures you need to execute a comprehensive desktop deployment project. These services help you extend the business value of your Microsoft Office or Microsoft Windows software upgrade.
