Drive Extensive cost-reductions with Terminal Emulation Migration: Free Whitepaper

Posted by sarahk @ Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:57:41 -0400

Over the next six to nine months your clients will start planning their Windows 7 desktop refreshes. This is an excellent time to introduce the idea of updating their terminal emulation solution as well.

Because terminal emulation is not the hottest topic, your clients may not be aware of the many benefits to updating their solution. This is an opportunity for you to offer a solution to save your client money without incurring additional risk, lengthy implementation times or the need to retrain users.

According to “The Case For Operational Cost Reduction Through Terminal Emulation Migration”, a whitepaper prepared by Open Text, terminal emulation migration can be very low risk with big pay-off. The biggest hurdle is overcoming a client’s wariness which is based on how things used to work in the past. Today’s modern emulators are built with the tools needed to mitigate those fears.

To learn more about terminal emulation migration and its benefits, download this free whitepaper for which there is no registration making it easy to share with your clients.
