D&H Distributing Joins Windows XP Migration Million Mile Tour

D&H joins SMB Nation’s tour as an official sponsor, in the quest to educate SMBs on the forthcoming April 8, 2014 deadline for the end of support for Windows XP.

North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing has partnered with SMB Nation as an official sponsor of the Windows XP Migration Million Mile Tour. The North America tour is bringing together SMBs to learn about the forthcoming April 8, 2014 deadline for the end of support of Windows XP.

The tour includes a midday “lunch and learn” session for business owners to discover why retiring Windows XP is important, and what the next steps are when it comes to selecting a new PC and operating system. Highlights include the security risks, productivity losses, and the ability to work with more modern applications to get more done. When Microsoft retires Windows XP on April 8, 2014, there will no longer be support available for this operating system, exposing end-users to significant problems. The end-user events are part of SMB Nation’s Million Mile Tour, which leverage the Microsoft Community Connections event module.

Microsoft partners and other SMB IT Pros are invited to attend an evening “exam cram” session typically held at Microsoft stores from 4p.m.- 7p.m. The agenda is a technical and business lecture providing preparation content and instruction to pass the Master Certified Migration Expert (MCME) exam. Part of the MCME requirements is two-hours of classroom time, which this evening event fulfills. Holding the MCME designation allows incumbents to validate their expertise and successfully complete Windows XP migration assignments.

“Right now, the IT industry needs all hands on deck to address the Windows XP deadline of April 8, 2014,” says Harry Brelsford, CEO, SMB Nation. “These end-user and partner workshops go along with aligning the community to successfully and safely move forward to beyond the world of Windows XP and get to modern.”

“As we move toward the inevitable XP support cut-off, we want the SMB community to understand that a trusted IT adviser can help them conduct a seamless and beneficial migration. These companies will be empowered by a more robust and multifunctional Windows environment, one that incorporates more cutting-edge amenities, such as touch enablement and enhanced security,” says Jeff Davis, senior vice president of sales at D&H Distributing.

The Million Mile Tour is being held in conjunction with XPMigrations.com, which is a group that is comprised of Certified Windows XP Migration Experts (CME) who come from the valued SMB Nation community, all of whom are trained professionals that are equipped to perform upgrades away from Windows XP with minimal day-to-day business disruptions.
