In today’s fast-paced business environment, staying current with technology isn’t just about having the latest features—it’s about protecting your organization from unnecessary costs and security risks. For many businesses still running Windows 10, the clock is ticking, and the financial implications could be significant.
The Hidden Costs of Delayed Migration
Extended support contracts for outdated operating systems come with a hefty price tag. Even worse, the security vulnerabilities in older systems make your organization a prime target for breaches, which can cost exponentially more than the migration itself.
Perhaps the most overlooked expense is the time required to manually identify all your outdated machines. This process can stretch for months—valuable time that most IT departments simply don’t have to spare.
Enter SysTrack: Transformation in Minutes, Not Months
What if you could transform your migration process from a complex, time-consuming endeavor into a simple, conversational experience? SysTrack makes this possible by allowing you to ask questions about your IT environment in plain English and receive actionable answers almost immediately.
Take Rick, for example. By using the Natural Language Query (NLQ) feature in SysTrack, he:
- Quickly identified machines running outdated Windows versions
- Implemented targeted fixes based on SysTrack’s recommendations
- Avoided $8.7 million in extended support contracts and potential breach costs
And he accomplished all of this in less than five minutes—without requiring database administrators, coding expertise, or expensive consultants.
From SQL Queries to Conversational IT
The transformation is remarkable. Instead of wrestling with complex SQL queries and custom dashboards, SysTrack NLQ offers a streamlined experience that delivers results in plain language.
With NLQ, you can:
- Determine hardware and application readiness for migration
- Identify specific actions to get your machines ready
- Assess Windows 11 performance across your organization
- Monitor the progress of your rollout in real-time
Real Results, Real Fast
The platform’s interface provides instant visibility into your environment. It can show you exactly how many systems are running Windows 10 versus Windows 11, breaking down the numbers by group with percentages for clarity.
For Rick, his simple NLQ question revealed that his organization had:
- 9 Microsoft Windows 11 Pro systems
- 149,662 Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise systems
- 15,012 Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise systems
SysTrack has always provided this level of insight, but now with NLQ, users can uncover the data faster. Now, Rick’s team can create targeted migration plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach that wastes resources.
The Bottom Line: Be Like Rick
The message is simple: Be like Rick. Save money.
By implementing NLQ, you can avoid millions in unnecessary expenses while strengthening your security posture. NLQ delivers this value without requiring specialized skills—just ask your questions in plain language and get the answers you need.
In a world where IT complexity continues to grow, SysTrack offers a refreshingly simple solution to one of the most pressing challenges facing businesses today: efficient and cost-effective Windows migration.
