ConverterTechnology has partnered with a software development and data warehouse firm Juriba, to provide companies an easy way to upgrade their Windows PCs to the latest Microsoft software.

The company will provide Juriba’s Dashworks software to customers as part of its portfolio of Microsoft migration tools and services, to provide an understanding to enterprises about all the assets on their desktops, to manage large-scale deployments.

The Dashworks dashboard connects to user directories, desktop inventory and applications throughout the enterprise to build a data warehouse of desktop information.

In addition, ConverterTechnology will provide an optimised version of Dashworks that works with its OfficeConverter software portfolio, to simplify enterprise-wide Microsoft Office conversions and migrations.

The offering will also work with ChangeBASE AOK, to automate the manual work done around the testing and packaging of applications when companies upgrade to Windows 7 and application virtualisation deployments.

ConverterTechnology global alliance director Jeff LaBombard said that the Dashworks will bring enormous efficiency and cost-savings to their customers, cutting the asset discovery phase of Office and Windows migrations up to 50%.

"Dashworks paired with OfficeConverter 2010 and ChangeBASE will provide a seamless offering for efficient program management for a desktop transformation," LaBombard said.
