Choose Your Upgrade Path
Upgrading from Windows XP or Windows 2000? As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR), we have the expertise and tools to help you with any additional steps required to mitigate application compatibility if your organization decides to skip the upgrade to Windows Vista.

Because the requirements for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are similar, previous investments in hardware capable of running Windows Vista should largely carry over to Windows 7. The majority of applications that already work on Windows Vista will continue to work on Windows 7 due to the underlying similarity of the two operating systems. This can reduce the expense of upgrading and help you get the most value from your hardware purchases.

Zones Will Help Ease Deployment
New tools in Windows 7 enable your network administrators to easily create and manage single, globally-supported system images, quickly deliver those images in network-based deployments, and rapidly migrate user files and settings from the previously operating system into Windows 7.

The long awaited Windows 7 is here and Zones is ready to help with your deployment. Our software specialists will ascertain the most cost-effective, efficient upgrade path and licensing solution. And our professional services team delivers imaging and onsite services to complete your Windows 7 deployment accurately, on time and within budget.
