Pilot

Expert Services for System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Test piloting your upgrade or deployment
With the constant flux of mobile devices, new Operating Systems, upgrades and the need for visibility and compliance across todays dynamic IT infrastructures, comes the need for comprehensive, knowledge-based, configuration management. Through streamlined, policy-based automation, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (ConfigMgr) provides powerful capabilities to enable you to assess, deploy and update your clients, servers and mobile devices across IT systems in physical, virtual and distributed environments. But whether youre deploying ConfigMgr as your first systems management solution or upgrading from an existing platform, you need impartial advice and guidance from trusted industry experts. Once the Preparation phase is complete, youll be ready to Pilot your ConfigMgr deployment. Our consultants will help your project team prepare for and then complete a production pilot deployment to confirm that the solution behaves as expected. Inevitable differences between the test lab and production environment may identify further matters which need to be addressed before the solution is fully deployed, but 1E will remain on hand to assist with resolution. During the pilot stage, core infrastructure will be implemented and verified as functional before client deployment commences to the agreed pilot client base. Following completion of the Pilot, 1E will conduct a review workshop, providing you with a detailed, written report to record any issues identified during the pilot and how they were addressed. Where appropriate we will also ensure the project has met with the technical and business requirements that were identified in the original Readiness Assessment and subsequent Preparation phases.

John Lewis Partnership chose to engage with 1E based on its expertise and systems management capabilities. Not only has the consultant rapidly grasped our business requirements, but in addition, has proven 1Es capability and knowledge within a matter of days; this has met our expectations.
