Deployment, Roll Out & System Migration

Deployment & Roll Out Services

Businesses worldwide are driven to update and change their Workspace both to keep pace with developments in ICT, with the ever greater functionality of the applications available and with the licencing/support parameters determined by the world’s major suppliers.

Getronics provides a range of “tiered” services designed to enable customers to undertake cost effective
and often global change – with Getronics taking responsibility according to the depth to which any
business requires.

Getronics provides a single point of management and responsibility for Deployment, Roll out and Migration across the Getronics Workspace Alliance (GWA).

Roll Out

Many globally distributed and multiple location businesses find the process of updating workspace
or networking devices extremely time consuming of management time. Without IT operations of some scale
in the distributed geographical locations, it is difficult to locate and manage personnel and difficult to manage both staging, deployment and return logistics.

At the pure roll out tier – Getronics would be rolling out / changing the workspace using the image and design as built by your business IT department.

Getronics takes responsibility for managing roll outs at agreed cost and within agreed timescales and for product return and ethical disposal, should that be required.

Services include:

• Project management
• Staging and logistics at locally competitive cost
• Deployment staffing (Personnel and their management and co-ordination)
• Product return and ethical disposal

System Migration

Often ICT budget pressure forces organisations to focus on projects that add to business results quickly.

The introduction of innovations in new workplace technologies and functionalities to the workforce requires expertise and resources, the upgrade of an ICT system can seem like an immense and off-putting task particularly when across multiple locations or where the innovation is perhaps several cycles behind.

Getronics offers a risk-free and step-by-step approach as the solution.

Assessment

Getronics will assess both the physical and the application environment, consolidating information and providing advice:

• As to what needs to be replaced/what may be re-used across the physical assets
• The number and spread of applications located
• Which applications can be consolidated or removed from the environment
• Getronics can also assist in advising the licence status of your business – given access
  to appropriate information

Packaging

Getronics will package applications – with a view to future requirements
