Migration of User Settings: Business Continuity Avoids High Follow-on Cost

COLOGNE, Germany, July 15, 2010 - sepago, inventors of the Citrix User Profile Manager, offer a
new solution for profile migration from today: For the first time, Profile
Migrator(TM) enables network administrators to migrate user settings for
Windows operating systems as well as for arbitrary windows-based applications
on clients and servers. The effect: Users familiarize themselves with their
new work environment more quickly and don't need to embark on their own
time-consuming restoration of their personal settings. The increased business
continuity significantly reduces the cost of migration for large enterprises.
Profile Migrator(TM) supports system changeovers to Windows 7 and Windows
Server 2008 R2, the virtualization of desktops and servers and the
introduction of 64 bit systems. Apart from the operating system change, the
software also permits migration of the user settings if version upgrades of
widespread programs are undertaken. As administrators select their users'
applications that are to be migrated, the migration of the settings
simultaneously results in a profile clean-up. The program is now available
for download from www.profilemigrator.com for a free 30-day
evaluation.

Users spend considerable time customizing their work
environment. For the desktop, backgrounds, screen savers or skins are adapted
to the personal mood. But templates, standard formats, signatures, shortcuts,
macros and add-ins, settings for saving, font sizes or toolbars are also
configured to meet the personal requirements and the user's working habits.

The migration of these settings saved in the user profiles is
a complex matter, however, and for this reason rarely takes place. After a
system upgrade, these settings are missing and users spend their working time
on restoring their settings. In doing so, they often make use of support from
the user helpdesk. This causes hidden follow-on cost in enterprises, which
grows with the number of desktops provisioned.

sepago's new software provides a remedy: Profile Migrator(TM)
can be used for practically all migration scenarios, allowing the centrally
controlled migration of the user settings for the system components and
applications selected by the administrator. The intuitive graphical user
interface permits fast execution of the profile migration in three simple
steps.

Profile Migrator(TM) is now available for download from
www.profilemigrator.com for a free 30-day evaluation. The web site
also includes a ROI calculator to highlight the hidden cost of not carrying
out profile migration, showing the rapid return on investment that the
software provides.
