Our Approach

The Contrac Approach

Contrac applied a Consult, Transform, Support methodology to ensure a stable, secure rollout.

01

Consult

We undertook a comprehensive audit of the existing Windows Deployment Services (WDS) environment, providing a detailed report to ensure no unexpected issues would occur during the transition.

02

Transform

We utilised the existing WDS server and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, combined with bespoke scripts for the automation of remote imaging. We created USB Media images to ensure that remote workers were able to upgrade in line with the rest of the organisation.

03

Support

The implementation was completed in approximately one week, ensuring all users were comfortable with the new operating system and fully supported throughout the transition.
