Assisted a local county organization to develop the plan to allow them to convert from a Novell infrastructure with GroupWise messaging to a Microsoft Active Directory/Exchange infrastructure and messaging solution as a part of an overall upgrade of their network infrastructure.  Our infrastructure architects worked with the client’s IT management and engineers to develop a plan that allowed for minimal disruption of service to the organizations users who relied on the system 7X24 for information.  The plan took into account authentication, support, e-mail  both on site and through remote access, mobile devices, conversion plans, and training for the IT staff.  The calendaring functions from mobile devices were used to schedule resources and assets that were based in multiple locations throughout the county.  The plan for the solution allowed the client to provide a better level of support to their users, and provide a platform that gave the county more options for applications that would improve their efficiency in supporting the citizens.

Affiliated architects and engineers worked with a global logistics client to develop and implement a plan that would consolidate the clients 20+ locations onto a single platform for authentication and messaging.  Growing by acquisition, the client had 3 different authentication and messaging systems that did not allow for efficient inter office/division communications or implementation of corporate application solutions.  Our team developed the plan for the new single platform Windows/Exchange system and implemented it for the client’s 1,500 users in just over six months and for approximately 25% of previous estimates to accomplish the job.  Any staff member can now access information or request a meeting without making a phone call to ensure the request was received or processed, saving untold time and energy that can be focused on the client’s customers.

Assisted a plastics manufacturer to develop and implement a plan that would consolidate the clients 20+ locations onto a single platform for authentication and messaging.  After purchasing a large competitor, the client had 2 different authentication and messaging systems that did not allow for efficient inter office/division communications or implementation of corporate application solutions.  Our team developed the plan for the new single platform Windows/Exchange system and implemented it for the client’s 1,200 users.  The employee directory is is updated once and users enjoy using Outlook as the desktop tool for messaging and collaboration.
