By switching to Windows 10 with Proximus NXT, CFL puts its digitalization strategy on the right track
Their goals
-
Migrate 3,000 workstations - laptops and desktops - from Windows 7 to Windows 10
-
Leverage the migration to deploy Office 365 and the associated collaborative tools
-
Facilitate access to information for the user, wherever they are
-
Pursue CFL’s strategy of developing digitalization and increasing mobility
The challenge
- Manage the migration of around sixty different sites covering a variety of user profiles
- Mastering the complexity of the application base operated by the CFL Group, i.e. 600 different applications
The solutions
- Due to the large number of applications, a common framework for all users has been created. This includes a series of customised projects sometimes involving very advanced parameter settings
- Turnkey service, from making an appointment with the user to the installation of the machine at the user's place of work, including the installation of back-up solutions
The results
The migration of the CFL workstations to Windows 10 has enabled the company to make the Digital Workplace concept a reality. The company now has a more modern, high-performance environment, and its digitalisation strategy has been reinforced
The benefits
-
CFL now has a more modern, high-performance environment, and its digitalization strategy has been strengthened as a result
-
The benefits of the new environment - the collaboration tools and the ability for users to access information through different types of platforms - have enabled each CFL division to cope with the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic
-
Personalized training and coaching sessions for the 3,000 users involved in the migration
“One of the keys to the success of this complex migration project is the coherence between resource planning and the processes designed and implemented by Proximus NXT.”
