Windows 10 and SCCM migrations

Delivering software currency, better security and the platform to fully exploit Microsoft 365.

As part of its Digital Transformation agenda, the CAA wanted to optimise Microsoft 365, but to do so, they needed to migrate users from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This was also an opportunity to improve security and minimise disruption for future Operating System upgrades.

Objective

The CAA were looking for a partner to perform the design and build of both Windows 10 and Microsoft SCCM, and to then procure and deploy appropriate workplace devices or replace the hard disks of existing devices to accommodate Windows 10.

Solution

Computacenter led the design and build of Windows 10 for the CAA, to NCSC standards, and the design and build of SCCM. This was followed by deployment of Windows 10 in a pilot for up to 180 employees, and subsequent deployment to the remaining 1,020 employees in scope. In doing so, Computacenter and the CAA had to work around changing conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, having to adapt their deployment method accordingly.

Outcome

• Hardware consolidation
• Improved productivity and sustainability
• Increased security
• Standardisation
• Supported digitalisation
