Out with the old, in with the new… workstation, that is
The Desktop Transformation Project (DTP) is a two-year initiative to replace Windows XP workstations with Windows 7 laptops and PCs across Providence Health Care (PHC), Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH). Similar initiatives are in the works in all BC health organizations.
What’s in it for you?
DTP provides you with a Lenovo workstation that runs Windows 7, Office 2010, and Internet Explorer 8. What’s more, applications essential to your work will be updated to the most recent versions. All of this means you’ll enjoy a more reliable, streamlined, user-friendly experience, further enhancing the vital work you do.
How will I be impacted?
We know that you have a lot on your plate. Rest assured your DTP Site Engagement Planner will support you through every step of the transition. You’ll be contacted at least three months in advance about when your workstation is scheduled for replacement with instructions on what you’ll need to do to prepare. Don’t worry; you’ll have plenty of time to get ready.
Where can I go to learn more?
To help make the transition as seamless as possible, we’ve created an internal DTP Resource Centre especially for you. It’s your one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about DTP.

Good news however I hope that workstations will have adequate RAM to run Windows 7. Bare minimums are not really enough considering how inexpensive memory is nowadays.
When will we be activating the cameras on our desktops to have meetings on line?

This is very good news. I has become increasingly more time consuming and frustrating to figure out work-arounds to deal with our antiquated technology and software, not to mention it is eating up more and more of my personal data package by the day.
I would be interested in more information but the internal link above took me to a page what required a sign in that I don’t appear to have. Are line staff meant to be able to access it? If so there may be something wrong with the link.
