Recently it has come to our attention that many organizations are investigating the advantages and disadvantages of moving from a Netware to a Microsoft centric network. To help assist you with this fact gathering mission we have assembled this presentation set covering not only the advantages and disadvantages of pure Novell and Microsoft environments, but also hybrid solutions and those utilizing other product vendors. We discuss the stages of a successful migration plan and a few tools to help along the way. We hope to help you consider all options to best fit your needs and will assist in any way possible.

If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to contact us at 888.424.4863 or information@ancgroup.com.

A nonprofit corporation, the North Carolina Educational Technology Conference provides leadership and service to improve teaching and learning in PreK-12 and teacher education through the effective use of technology. NCETC exists for the sole purpose of planning and sponsoring this annual event. The first conference was held in 1988 in Greensboro to provide a venue for educators interested in the integration of technology into education. Its success and the response of educators and vendors further validated the need for this annual event. NCETC has become more than a North Carolina technology conference, drawing presenters, exhibitors and attendees from other states and even other countries. Attendance this year is anticipated to exceed 2000 participants.

October 24-26 ANCGroup will be at the South Carolina Education Technology conference in Myrtle Beach, SC. We will be at booth 333 near the Showcase Lounge and Cisco. Stop by to meet us and learn the latest about our services.
