WINDOWS 10 USER INTENT BY COMPANY SIZE
Applications and workloads are the next battlegrounds for cloud. Organisations want, but are not well prepared, to move these between cloud services.
Q. Does your organisation intend to upgrade to Windows 10?
N = 301
• Within a year over 60% of customers across all segments expect to have upgraded to Windows 10
• TRA’s view is that xYOD/COIT is challenging the historical view that large Enterprises move more slowly in the adoption of new technology than smaller businesses.
• As Windows 10 moves across the consumer landscape there is a possibility that it will shorten the traditional ‘wait for SP1 update’ that occurred with previous Windows releases

WINDOWS 10 VIEWS
Applications and workloads are the next battlegrounds for cloud. Organisations want, but are not well prepared, to move these between cloud services.
TRA asked survey respondents to provide a comparative rating of Windows 10 against previous versions of the OS. We also asked whether survey respondents believe Windows 10 will allow their organisation to take advantage of a range of technologies and services. The main results from these questions are:
More than 7 in 10 Australian organisations believe Windows 10 is an improvement over both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
More than 75% of survey respondents agreed that deploying Windows 10 would be beneficial to support other technology solutions and initiatives. The top three technologies and services that respondents believe Windows 10 will let them take advantage of are: Microsoft Cloud Solutions Windows Apps across all devices Unified Communications and Collaboration tied with
Mobility
Important to the multi-device strategy is that over 75% of respondents agree that Windows 10 is an attractive platform for applications.

PLANS TO DEPLOY ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS
Applications and workloads are the next battlegrounds for cloud. Organisations want, but are not well prepared, to move these between cloud services.
Survey participants were asked what additional services or technologies they were likely to adopt when they upgrade to Windows 10. The main findings from these questions are:
At least 4 in 10 Australian organisations intend to adopt additional services and technologies within 12 months of adopting Windows 10
Compared with previous OS refreshes or upgrades where roughly one third of survey respondents said they would also adopt Iaas/PaaS or SaaS offerings, there is a stronger appetite to adopt cloud services with Windows 10.

Key Points
At an aggregate level the top factors ranked are: Productivity Improving the security & risk
profile Refreshing the device fleet Improving device management.
However, when split by company size, different rankings emerge reflecting varying circumstances. E.g. Mobile & desktop integration is a strong issue for those between 100-249 and 250-499 seats.
