TESHIS: January 20^th, 2012

Microsoft Value Proposition on Our First Ever local “DOEL” Branded Laptop

Teshis is our foremost government entity that has seen the future that the Schools/Universities are in need of the technological advancement with an Operating System, which is already accepted by the majority of the users. Therefore, Teshis decided that with their first ever Bangladeshi Branded Laptops they should include Microsoft Client Operating System as a primary Operating System.

I played the technical role and educate the TSS team on how to collage an operating system with all the drivers and build an image so that they won’t have to install on every laptop. Rather they used the hard drive duplicator to replicate the HDD image to the designated models. After long engagements TSS finally signed off for a 25,000 laptops for the first lot. More than 50,000 OS’s are ordered later on. In the picture I am demonstrating the Windows AIK Toolkit with the black laptop.
