About Lanyon Bowdler

Business NeedThe existing 140 end user Windows XP desktops were ageing

and with the imminent removal of Windows XP support from

Microsoft, there was an urgent requirement to replace these

with up-to-date hardware and a consistent, modern software

image across all sites.

MWL Systems quickly understood the scope of the project and appreciated that the PC upgrade was not a simple ‘lift and shift’ exercise. The project included the installation of a SCCM solution and MWL had the skill sets and experience to set this up and integrate the PC roll out with this technology.

Due to the size of the internal IT team and their existing commitments, the logical business decision was taken to engage with MWL Systems in order to develop a project that included the supply, delivery and installation of new desktop PCs.

Fundamental to this was the ability to manage the logistics of storing, imaging and deploying the new PCs with an agreed standard image.
