Transitioning from legacy software to a modern collaborative ecosystem
Starting with stakeholder engagement through to incident management and hyper care while being backed by the plethora of offerings under Infosys Cobalt, we guided the beverage and brewing company through a well-structured change management strategy. The migration comprised of installing Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus across the board for users using 5000+ devices.
What did we do?
- To push the new Microsoft Windows 10 system software to all the devices, a new SCCM environment was built and the Infosys team orchestrated the image creation for various hardware models.
- At the rate of 35-40 machines a day, the applications were delivered to the client machines through Microsoft Endpoint Manager – SCCM, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft Intune – along with some of Infosys’ indigenous automation tools to accelerate the upgrade.
- To ensure zero loss of user data, a thorough deployment checklist was maintained, and Microsoft USMT was used. Further, as part of the domain standardization initiative, the Infosys team utilized an in-house tool built on PowerShell to replace multiple domains with one universal domain.
- Local-language-speaking engineers were also deployed at respective locations to enhance the user experience during the upgrade.
