CU*Answers certifies Microsoft Windows 11

CU*Answers Network Services is pleased to announce that it has fully certified Microsoft Windows 11 Professional for use with its CU*BASE GOLD application suite.

“We are excited about staying ahead of the curve in supporting the latest operating system from Microsoft,” explains Matt Sawtell, VP of Managed Technology Services at CU*Answers. “It’s a cadence we’ve gotten into every few years when new releases come out.”

The certification process included the CU*BASE application suite, ProDOC imaging suite and the various software tools that CNS uses to manage, maintain, and secure client networks. Support teams have been trained and are ready to pass along their training and expertise to clients.

“We are hearing that Windows 11 will be the sole option sometime around midyear and we will be ready. We will have systems on our store that come with the new version in the coming weeks,” explains Sarah Sweet, Manager of Client Support and Operations at CU*Answers.
