Scope

The primary objective of the project was to transform the end-user applications and services by leveraging cloud technologies. This would enable the end-user applications operations seamlessly anytime, anywhere on any device, securely and efficiently.

Migrate diverse user-base including roaming and factory users to full-scale MS Office365 platform on Azure Cloud.

  • Huge mailboxes on end-user laptops & no standard tool to migrate Zimbra mailboxes to Microsoft Outlook without a downtime of the mailboxes.
  • Over 40 per cent of users were roaming, not working out of offices, rolling out VPN and SCCM was a big challenge.
  • AD data required major cleansing of user data with new policy setups.
  • Installation of Office365 on each user's laptop at their convenience.
