The Challenge
Stipulated in the venture contract were financial penalties if SurePods technology, hardware and infrastructure were not separated from Old Castle. To mitigate this risk, SurePods acquired Engineering and Project Management services from Align to supplement their resources to deliver the separation within an 8-week period.
The Solution
SurePods worked together with Align to develop an project plan and infrastructure design to deliver separation and project closure on time and under budget. Align successfully project managed, designed and delivered infrastructure solutions to support the separation. The team also migrated exchange email, user profile data and set up all endpoint desktop services. Below is a detailed scope of the project:
The Results
The Align team successfully separated SurePods' services from Old Castle within the restricted 8-week time period. The SurePods users now have state-of-the-art infrastructure and computing power, resulting in increased productivity.
