The human side of Vista

As CIOs begin their Vista rollouts, Katherine Spencer of Robert Half Technology reminds execs not to forget the personnel requirements of any operating system change. She recommends that CIOs undertake a thorough assessment of their staff, weighing decisions about how long the implementation will take and considering outside help during the transition. She also reminds CIOs not to forget training, whether that means setting up a test environment before deployment or offering traditional classroom and tutorial training.
