FEATURED
* As transformation moves beyond executive aspiration to a boardroom
necessity, CIOs are charting a new path forward in Asia Pacific with the
partner ecosystem in fast pursuit. Motivated by a desire to overhaul
technology portfolios and business models in equal measure, CIOs now hold
increased responsibility for digital agendas – an agenda redefining
outsourcing requirements in the process. According to State of the CIO
research in 2022 – commissioned and produced by IDG – 60% of CIOs across
the region are prioritising the upgrading of outdated IT infrastructure,
supported by increased focus on customer experience (59%) and product
innovation (42%). In response, partners must move beyond traditional box
selling to embrace new solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI),
machine learning (ML) and high performance computing (HPC). Yet challenges
remain as the channel skills up to meet the new demands of the CIO. Join
Foundry (formerly IDG Communications), Dell Technologies and AMD for this
Channel APJ Virtual Event, outlining CIO investment priorities, commercial
partner strategies and business growth opportunities. Key discussion
points include: • State of the market in relation to CIO technology
investment • New role of the partner ecosystem in meeting end-user demands
• Key outsourcing requirements of the future specific to the channel • How
partners can evolve through the customer transformation journey • Next
steps to realise the potential of new technologies and solutions

CLOUD SOLUTIONS GROUP STREAMLINES ACCESS MANAGEMENT FOR JOHN HOLLAND GROUP
WINDOWS 11 ADOPTION APPEARS TO BE STAGNATING
Windows 11, which launched six months go, appears to be flatlining in terms of
uptake in the month of March, according to one data source.

Windows 11 adoption rates have apparently tapered off to a trickle, according to
recent data from computer monitoring software provider AdDuplex and others.
Adoption for Windows 11, which Microsoft released in October 2021, reached an
“overall usage” of 19.4 per cent last month, an increase of more than 10 per
cent since the beginning of December 2021. An additional 0.6 per cent of users
are on a Windows 11 Insider build, according to AdDuplex.
For all of March, Microsoft’s latest OS only achieved a 0.1 per cent market
share increase over other Windows editions, according to AdDuplex.

In December, AdDuplex indicated that Windows 11 uptake had reached nearly nine
per cent; that number, however, contrasted sharply with a figure released by
Lansweeper at that time that showed the new platform with a less than one per
cent adoption rate.
Microsoft has pushed to get users to upgrade to Windows 11, but the overwhelming
majority have chosen to remain on the previous edition.
Of the 80 per cent using Windows 10, the largest number of users are on the two
most recent updates, Windows 10 N21U (21H2), released in November 2021 (28.5 per
cent) and Windows 10 M21U (21H1), released in March 2021, (26.5 per cent). The
remaining 25 per cent are on five other older iterations of Windows 10.
“For the most part, commercial customers are not really diving into the new OS,
and we don’t expect to see much uptake there until 2023,” said Steve Kleynhans,
a vice president of research at Gartner.
The cloud race for the channel is intensifying, and Asia Pacific partners should
not miss the boat: Crayon

Even so, Kleynhans said it’s “a bit” early to draw any conclusions about Windows
11's success.
“While technically the OS update is six months old, a very large percentage of
machines weren’t being offered the update until just a couple of months ago,” he
said. “The current [install rate] is likely just normal market evolution during
the early stages of any new OS version and not a sign of anything really
problematic."
The situation around Windows 11 uptake is very similar to the first year of
Windows 10, “and Windows 7 and Windows XP for that matter,” Klaynhans said.
For consumers, OS uptake has more to do with PC sales, including those that come
natively with Windows 11.
“For most consumers who aren’t PC enthusiasts in some way, this is not really a
high priority, and they won’t actively seek out the upgrade," Klaynhans said.
"Until Microsoft starts forcing the upgrade, or at least more aggressively
marketing it to users on eligible machines, things are bound to stall out a bit.
I suspect we will see Microsoft start marketing the update more aggressively
over the next few months and really start to push it in the fall."
For its part, Microsoft said it has seen strong demand and preference for
Windows 11 with people accepting the upgrade offer to Windows 11 at twice the
rate the company saw for Windows 10, according to a January blog post by Panos
Panay, Microsoft’s chief product officer for Windows and Devices.
Windows 11 is being offered as a free upgrade to eligible Windows 10 devices.
Users can check to see whether the Windows 11 upgrade is available by using the
PC Health Check app.
