An evergreen approach to transition from a traditional to modern ecosystem
Once Infosys took over the reins, it handled end-to-end migration activities for 3000 client devices -from assessment of hardware to application compatibility assessment, packaging, validation, deployment of the Windows 10 Operating System and finally, the post-upgradation support. This encompassed hardware compatibility assessment for about 15 different models, application assessment for around 1000 applications, application packaging for around 150 applications and hardware driver packaging for 15 different models.
What did we do?
- Optimized booting scripts.
- Provided a secure and unique user experience wherein only the required set of applications are installed based on the department the user belongs to.
- Conducted Windows 10 image build and customization as per client standards - decoupling the image and application into different layers of Windows Image based on Base, Foundation and Business layers.
- Strategically planned the migration of 3000 users from Windows 7 to Windows 10, based on 10 different department clusters.
