Our Task: HAZ Technologies was task with the migration of user settings, software and shared network storage for over 125+ network accessible devices to Windows 7. The challenge we faced executing the migration was user downtime for the home office and 6 remote office scattered throughout central Ohio had to be kept to a minimum to allow case workers and medical staff to assist their clients. With the assistance of the CAIHS in-house IT department and each CAIHS department head and our project leadership we were able to devise a plan that mitigated the overall downtime of each department’s deployment. This was a highly effective plan as we finished the project 2 ½ weeks in advance of the proposed project end date as well we had minimal impact to the case workers and medical staffer’s daily workload. Because of finishing 2 ½ weeks we were able to reduce CAIHS expenditures for project by 45% this was a very exciting time for CAIHS executive staff and department heads as it meant funds were able to be dispersed to other departments and projects.
