PHOTOS: Partners pack Dicker Data & Microsoft's Windows 10 refresh event in Sydney
Resellers advised to assess customer fleets and speedily order replacement devices.
IT partners flocked to Dicker Data and Microsoft's Windows 10 refresh event in Sydney this week to hear about findings from a new report - “End of Support For Windows 10: A Guide For IT Channel Partners”.
The event, sponsored by Dell Technologies, Dynabook, HP and Lenovo, aimed to raise awareness about the impending switch to Windows 11.
Former ITnews and CRN Australia editor Nate Cochrane presented IT partners with the report, ‘powered by’ Dicker Data and Microsoft and sponsored by the event sponsors mentioned above.
The report found that Australian businesses were unprepared for the end of Windows 10 in fewer than 200 business days.
A looming devices supply chain “crunch” before the end of support for Windows 10 threatens to expose thousands of Australian organisations to elevated risk of data breaches — and insurance and regulatory non-compliance — that could amount to significant costs and penalties, partners heard.
