Dualos is Here to Help You Make the Windows 10 Compliance Upgrade January 2020 Deadline

Windows cybersecurity and support issues affect military/aerospace avionics significantly and compliance is necessary to do business with, and continue doing business with the federal government. If your organization is not on track to meet the 2020 changeover deadline, now is the time to take action.

If you’re part of the team responsible for system usage, these tasks fall on your shoulders—not on IT. But where should you start? With hardware? With software? How will you keep track of your unique system changeover needs? Remember, it’s not just your desktop PCs and servers that are in danger of next year’s compliance issues—it’s also you aircraft, shipboard, vehicle, and related test and development PCs, laptops and computers too.

Take some guidance on where and how to start organizing your upgrade from the General Manager of the Avionics Business Unit here at Dualos, Bill Schuh. First, he recommends to list what the old system supports by asking questions like:

President Nancy Papineau, and Sales and Operations Director Cheryl Cavanagh recently traveled to Wisconsin to attend the 41st Annual Conference of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), where they led a group of 200+ volunteers!

As a Native American owned small business, Dualos promotes a culture of inclusivity, giving back and supporting those in need. To this end, all employees are encouraged to contribute to non-profit organizations and/or events of personal significance throughout the year.

This three day event attracts AISES members from across the continental United States, as well as Alaska, Hawaii and Canada. This year, 1,650 American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawiian, Pacific Islander, First Nation high school and college students made the journey to the highly anticipated event to further their personal and professional development.

At Dualos, we are honored to contribute to the Fisher House Foundation and to promote their selfless acts that support our nation’s military members, veterans and their families.

When service members are injured and hospitalized the costs of travel and lodging can be a drastic burden on visiting families, so the Fisher House Foundation covers these out of pocket costs for thousands of families each year. In fact, the Foundation helped more than 32,000 families in 2018 alone, and has saved military and veteran families an estimate $452 million since its inception in 1990.

With 84 Fisher Houses located on military installations and VA medical centers around the country, the foundation gives the gift of a “home away from home” to military families during some of life’s most challenging trials. Additionally, the foundation offers scholarship programs, the Military Miles program, the Hotels for Heroes program, memorial service support and much more.

With quality as a guiding principle, Dualos stands firm.

Since our inception, Dualos has been guided by the principle of quality. It touches everything we do, every day to help us align our personal and company ethics and ensure we deliver the most value possible to our customers and partners.

That’s why we are so proud of our rockstar team for passing our latest AS9120B audit with flying colors!
