Prep Before Deployment
“Must-have” software, hardware and training seems to come in waves. In my 25 years working with personal computers, I've seen peaks and valleys in upgrades. In the late 1980s and early '90s, moving to personal computers, networks, databases, spreadsheets and from DOS to Windows was at its peak. Later on, Microsoft Word 97 was at the top, as were PDAs, document management systems, Office 2003, Windows 7 and wireless. The valleys can be comfortable once the kinks are ironed out and the training has been completed. I believe, relatively speaking that is, that we've been in a valley lately. But not anymore.
We're on a peak again, a rather high one at that. With Office 2010 (32 and 64 bit), along with all of the third-party (major and minor) applications that are trying to keep up, I'm feeling the air get a bit thinner.
