Workplace Migration Coverage

Readiness planning, deployment execution, and equipment retirement

Enterprise workplace migration coordinated end to end: infrastructure and application readiness, asset inventory, pilot validation, Windows device deployment with onsite team leads and floor-walker support, and connected equipment retirement.

The challenge

A migration is more than replacing PCs

Enterprise workplace migrations involve many moving parts at once: infrastructure readiness, application validation, asset inventory, endpoint deployment, user migration, issue escalation, and equipment retirement. Without a structured plan, these projects can disrupt users, delay business operations, and overwhelm internal IT teams.

The work spans coordinating multiple readiness workstreams in parallel, validating that critical applications will operate correctly on the new platform, deploying thousands of devices across multiple sites, supporting users through the transition, and securely retiring outdated hardware, with documentation that lets deployment teams execute consistently across every location.

When those pieces are stitched together by one accountable team, the migration tends to land more cleanly across the business than when each workstream is handled in a vendor silo.

AIT’s approach

From readiness planning to retirement coordination

Seven coordinated layers connect the migration from initial project planning through deployment and equipment retirement so the business sees one accountable workflow rather than a chain of vendor handoffs.

01
Strategic project planning
A dedicated project manager built a comprehensive plan covering readiness, deployment, user support, and equipment retirement, with milestone planning sessions across stakeholders and supporting teams.
02
Infrastructure readiness and asset inventory
Reviewed the current infrastructure, established a progress reporting structure, identified existing hardware, and assessed upgrade feasibility so procurement and deployment could move on a coordinated timeline.
03
Application readiness and testing
Compiled an application inventory, engaged stakeholders for testing, supported a structured packaging and readiness schedule, and validated compatibility before broader deployment.
04
Workplace platform validation
Supported a pilot migration across selected user groups to test migration thresholds, surface user-impact issues, and refine the migration process before full-scale rollout.
05
Deployment playbook
Created a detailed deployment playbook covering escalation matrix, application stakeholder directory, issue resolution and reporting matrix, migration processes, floor-walker expectations, and site contact information.
06
PC deployment execution
Executed the rollout using a dual-team model, with each team built around an onsite team lead, two floor walkers for end-user support, and two migration engineers for system setup and end-of-day wrap-up.
07
Equipment retirement and disposal
Developed a data-handling plan aligned to the client's security standards and coordinated with vendors for onsite asset removal and disposal so the deployment connected directly into asset lifecycle planning.

Business value

A coordinated execution model

AIT helped turn a complex workplace migration into a coordinated execution model that connects readiness planning, deployment teams, end-user support, issue escalation, and equipment retirement into one structured project path.

Better deployment structure across readiness, rollout, and retirement
Reduced disruption during the migration window
A clearer support model for users at the moment of transition
Stronger application and infrastructure readiness before deployment
Better asset visibility through inventory and tagging discipline
Consistent deployment execution through the playbook and dual-team model
Documented process available for future reference and similar projects
A direct connection between deployment and equipment retirement
