There are a total of 175 PC’s in the Maryland location, these include the PCs used by the operations staff and production departments that will need to be upgraded. CMI has a staff of 50 sales people working from home offices, these laptops are also over 5 years old and will need to be upgraded. A small subset of the sales team uses tablets running iOS7, the suggestion is that the company develop a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy to allow these individuals to continue to use tables. The IT department will use a phased in approach to complete the migration to Windows 8. This phased approach will be by location and department and will be scheduled based on the amount of work needed to perform each upgrade and migration phase for each location. Phase 1: The first phase will encompass the entire Nebraska location consisting of 25 computers, this phase includes migrating all current PC’s to the Windows 8 platform. Phase 2: The second phase of the migration process will included three steps and encompass the 250 PC’s located at the Texas location Step one of this phase will include migrating all PC’s in the Operations department at the Texas facility. Step two of this phase will include migrating all PC’s in the Administration department at the Texas facility. Step three of
Twenty systems will initially be imaged for Linux and configured to run on the existing network environment. A testing group will be compiled from departments across the organization to determine how the operating system meets user needs in various departments. After a ten day testing period, any problems identified can be resolved as required to support a seamless transition. The phased migration can then be completed 50 systems at a time, cycling the Linux systems in and the XP systems out. As the XP systems are collected, Linux will be installed on them to continue with the phased concept. Diagram B displays how the systems will be tested, configured and distributed. Additional factors need to be taken into consideration for this project
First, we had to update all shared computers from all 3 sites of Trillium to make sure when users get migrated to MyTHP which is the new domain login everything would run smoothly and not outdated with the applications that are being used here at Trillium. After this step, users from around the hospital would get migrated to the new domain to which occurs over the night in which the last step would be a migration support. In which me and a few other colleagues of mine would come by the departed that got migrated and make sure they’re able to login, open their email, access the applications they need to access, install their calendars for physicians and if they had any other problems we would be there to solve them. Lastly, I also was working another project there called the Evergreen Project which basically was replacing old Computer models and replace them with brand new
We will employ the phased deployment approach which is a deployment method that installs the new CSMS system and make it operational in a series of phases. This kind of deployment reduces the risk because failure is isolated to one subsection of the deployment
There are multiple internal and external stakeholders who will be affected by VLP’s database migration. Internal stakeholders include;
By shifting 104 personnel records to BASE Cleveland the office will transition from an all in one Pay and Admin shop to strictly an Admin Office. The Admin portions are filling out the forms, verifying authorizations with policy and educating our customers on policy. This is 80% of the workload at our unit. When our records are moved to Base Cleveland the
Assumptions: (1) without considering support program (2) buy a new machine, (3) spend full marketing budget
Though issues had been identified with the deployment in Houston, testing did not reveal any problems in the production environment. Developers ran through a number of scenarios trying any find potential issues that could impact customers but found none. It was also noted that a number of changes were being made to the Genesys subdialog, these changes were a critical requirement for future changes further down the road. Based on this information, the decision was made to move forward with the release in Salt Lake
The original National systems CIF was signed to cover the transition costs of $5.17 M(including the ceiling increase) for the period of 9 months starting from Apr 2, 2013 to Dec 31, 2013 and Vendor B operations CIF was signed to cover services from Jan 13, 2014 till Jan 13,2019 with an amount of $48.82 M. By combining both the
Per to direction from Lt. Col Frye, a coordination meeting needs to be set-up in order to discuss the SharePoint Migration IPT slides and how they are updated. In addition, Lt. Col Frye wants to be the final reviewer as well as approver for these updates so that he when briefs it will be the correct information. Please let me know if you have any questions.
In conclusion, the report proposes that any migration path is applicable for migration. The only element that must get considered becomes the merits associated with each case. The resource availability is another factor that determines the path that must get followed. The complexity and scope of the cases must get dealt with during the migration
Personnel transfer requests take some time to get ready before sending out. I send Gabe the request asking him to place it in my folder and then I go page by page making sure that the correct person is on all of the pages and that there is no blank pages before mailing it out. I make sure that I have made myself a reminder to follow up with the requester just in case I don’t hear from them making sure they did receive the CD. (once Dave sends me
The implementation occurred between the 25th and 28th of October which coincided with my Cadia trip, thus creating the need for the plan to be thorough enough so that anyone could pick up the plan and do the upgrade. This gave me some experience managing different workloads
Context: Our networks are becoming more vulnerable because of wireless and mobile computing. Ubiquitous devices can and do pose a significant vulnerability. In this activity, you are to think outside the box and determine how to best defend against these threats.
Since the early days of the merger, we knew we would need a significant effort to transfer the new
