Learn how to overcome the challenges of deploying new Microsoft technologies, speed up the process of adopting new Windows technologies and manage the complexities of the program to achieve the best results.

 
 

In today’s digital world, enterprises function in multi-location, multi-user environments that encompass multiple technologies and platforms. In addition, enterprises are also moving towards designing and adopting a ‘Common Operating Environment’ (COE), to exploit newer technologies that will provide substantial savings on support and operational costs. Driving business productivity and future readiness in such an environment depends on enterprises leveraging better workflow and collaboration tools built into newer enterprise software versions.
   Hear experts from Infosys & Microsoft discussing Deployment challenges

For companies that have signed the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, deploying new Windows™ technologies can be a “quick win” that requires relatively low investments. Infosys’ Accelerated Deployment solution offers a cost-effective, predictable and customized transition to new Windows™ technologies. It helps you go live faster than industry-benchmarks. It seamlessly delivers planning and execution, including remote deployment and rigorous testing, with minimal disruption to end-users and your business.

Deployment Architecture


Infosys’ deployment framework factors in the complexity of your applications spread across desktops (for testing and packaging) while working out the deployment plan, so as to ensure minimal downtime of mission critical applications. Our Accelerated Deployment solution leverages the Global Accelerated Deployment Center (GADC), based on the Global Delivery Model, by exploiting geographical location and time-zone differences. The GADC model uses a 4-phased PRDO (Plan, get Ready, Deploy, Operate) methodology for execution that assures clients of delivery excellence.

 

A good deployment methodology helps clients overcome several key challenges:

  • Predictability of the deployment lifecycle and management
  • Choosing and customizing services to what is applicable to the deployment, rather than a one-size fits all service approach
  • Minimizing disruptions to avoid any impact on customer service and business operations
  • Overcoming complexity of upgrading multiple environments supporting a mobile workforce
  • Designing and rolling out standard operating environments
  • Integrated managed services covering deploying, testing and training - to overcome the operational hurdles of migration
  • Managing the complexities of the deployment program from initiation to roll-out
  • Gaining visibility into the deployment program at any given time
