Deploy Office 2010

Analyzing the current assets in your environment is a key step towards ensuring the needs of your organization are met.

Migrate will explore your environment to better understand your Office assets using Microsoft tools that provide insight into Office usage including:
• Office Environment Assessment Tool (OEAT)
• Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM)
• Office Code Compatibility Inspector (OCCI)

These powerful tools enable you to collect important information needed to thoroughly plan a migration. Migrate’s specialist can help you with the set up and configuration including populating the customized application entries for internally developed software and lesser known third party applications.

Once the inventory has been completed, the process of analyzing and rationalizing a document portfolio are undertaken. Migration can assist with:
• Defining appropriate categories and prioritizes to facilitate determining appropriate policies
• Coordinating communication strategies between business coordination leads to identify necessary assets

Your team will have a clearly defined process to assess your asset portfolio and retire assets appropriately. These policy and strategic decisions can save your organization significantly and will need to be vetted throughout the organization.

Migrate’s experts understand how to create appropriate testing processes. These steps include:
• Office customization and solutions testing processes
• Office document and macro testing can be optimized using tools

Migrate will assist to develop process map that accounts for all teams and components of the testing effort.

Remediating legacy technologies is a very complex process that relies on understanding what technologies and processes are available. Several of these services include:
• Document conversion planning and analysis for determining binary file format versus XML format to ensure legacy document support
• Legacy Office add-in replacement planning to ensure worker productivity is maintained

Remediation planning for these technologies completes the final steps necessary for understanding the end-to-end desktop refresh process steps.

The deployment plan takes into account operating, logistical, financial and strategic considerations for your desktop refresh. The following are areas that are part of the assessment and plan:
• Eligible desktops
• Upgrade / redeployment plans for hardware
• Timeline across organizations / departments / user audiences and geographies
• Budgeting / hardware plans and timing
The culmination of a desktop refresh planning engagement results in a final deployment plan that is prepared for broad signoff.
