The Client<\/h2>\n

A leading international coffeehouse chain, with over 3,400 outlets and 18,000 employees in 31 countries, which had just gone through a significant acquisition.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The organisation needed to rapidly modernise its fleet of ageing, in-store, and head office devices as they were approaching end-of-life and creating a compliance risk. The client also needed to implement a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform to meet new global compliance standards, streamline management across multiple device types and operating systems and be able to scale operations in multiple markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the in-house IT team was already at capacity, they needed extra support to roll out and manage the new setup safely and at speed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Challenges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n
\n

Skills gap:<\/strong> The internal team needed extra hands-on experience to deliver the rollout of a global UEM solution.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Security:<\/strong> Strong controls were essential to protect data and meet compliance standards.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Speed:<\/strong> Devices needed replacing quickly, without disrupting day-to-day work<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Scale:<\/strong> The new approach needed to work reliably across multiple global markets.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CWSI implemented Microsoft\u2019s Intune UEM solution through an integrated service that covered everything from deployment to ongoing management:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n
\n

Advisory services<\/strong> for design that adhered to best-practice security baselines.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Technical services<\/strong> for seamless configuration, integration, and deployment.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

Device rollout services <\/strong>to fast-track the refresh and onboarding process.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

DeviceGuard managed service<\/strong> to monitor, support, and keep everything running securely. to provide ongoing proactive management, monitoring and expert support.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n

The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A fast, reliable transition to a secure and compliant modern endpoint environment, with zero disruption to day-to-day operations. The client now has a fully managed and future-ready device program in place to support future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Outcomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n
\n

1<\/h1>\n

Over 4,000 devices replaced and onboarded across retail and corporate environments with
\nno downtime to customer operations.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

2<\/h1>\n

Full compliance with global security standards within 3 months, reducing device-related risk
\nacross multiple markets.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

3<\/h1>\n

A repeatable global deployment framework that enables rapid expansion into new markets.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

4<\/h1>\n

Improved employee access, performance, and confidence in using modern, secure devices.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

5<\/h1>\n

Freed up the internal IT team by transferring ongoing management, updates, and monitoring to CWSI.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why CWSI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CWSI worked closely with the coffee company\u2019s global IT team and parent organisation to balance speed, scale, and security. Together, we built a managed service around Microsoft\u2019s security tools to keep the business running smoothly throughout the rollout and provide an efficient, scalable operating model.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
