Data#3 ARM Surface Device Readiness Assessment

A Copilot+ PC based laptops are powerful devices that combines AI capabilities with advanced hardware, including ARM-based processors, to boost business productivity. Models such as the Surface Pro 11th Edition and Surface Laptop 7th Edition leverage the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for faster AI task processing, stronger security, and effortless multitasking. Businesses gain advantages such as better performance, longer battery life, and comprehensive security features.

With the shift from x86 to ARM architecture, customers looking to purchase ARM-based devices need to ensure their environment is ready to support these changes. This involves confirming application and peripheral compatibility, modern management and deployment strategies, utilising recommended Surface management tools (if applicable) and ensuring up-to-date Microsoft 365 applications and services. These considerations help ensure a smooth deployment and optimal operation and management of the new devices.

The engagement includes:

• Kick-off meeting
• Environment Readiness Workshop
• Application and Peripheral Compatibility Workshop/li>
• Development of an ARM Device Readiness Assessment Report
• Presentation of Findings and Recommendations report
