Client

The client is a family-owned facilities management services company in the UK, providing integrated facilities services across a range of sectors, with clients spread over 50 countries.

Challenge

Navigating Legacy Systems and Remote Workforce

The client relies on Hexaware for 24/7 helpdesk support services, end-to-end workplace device lifecycle management, and IT infrastructure support, hosted in the client’s data centers and public cloud. A large majority of their employees were using legacy operating systems (Windows 7 and older).

The client wanted to:

• Migrate to Windows 10 to take advantage of its best features and productivity benefits.
• Use this exercise to enhance the adoption of OneDrive for Business and showcase its benefits through a complete migration.
• One of the primary challenges in the entire migration process was that 40% of the user community worked remotely.
• The scope of migration also included application rationalization, remediation, and packaging.
