SSCM Migration for an Automotive Appliance Company
Interval supported a global manufacturer with an urgent migration of over 4,000 endpoints to a modern SCCM platform -enhancing security, stability and deployment capabilities, all while avoiding disruption during a critical business period.
Situation
A global automotive technology company required an urgent upgrade of its System Centre Configuration Manager (SCCM) infrastructure during a peak holiday period. The existing SCCM environment was outdated, putting operations at risk and limiting compliance, security, and efficiency.
With over 4,000 endpoints across multiple international sites, the migration posed significant risk if not managed carefully. To ensure a smooth transition, the client engaged a major consulting firm - who in turn brought in Interval to provide subject matter expertise and lead the technical delivery.
Approach
Interval deployed a seasoned SCCM specialist to lead the migration from SCCM 2012 R2 to SCCM Current Branch (Version 2207). The engagement began with a comprehensive review of the legacy environment, including:
Identifying outdated configurations and dependencies
Assessing infrastructure readiness
Planning a phased migration approach to minimise disruption
Key phases of the project included:
Assessment & Planning: Full audit and creation of a migration roadmap
Implementation & Deployment: Setup of the new SCCM environment, followed by staged migration of endpoints and systems
Testing & Optimisation: Verification of connectivity, policy application, and deployment performance, with monitoring tools implemented for long-term stability
Knowledge Transfer: Training and documentation provided to upskill the internal IT team on best practices and future management
Outcomes
The migration was successfully delivered on time, with key benefits including:
A fully modernised and supported SCCM environment, aligned to current security and operational standards
Over 4,000 endpoints seamlessly migrated with minimal downtime
Stronger automation and deployment capabilities, improving software update and compliance processes
Empowered internal IT team with the skills and knowledge to manage and maintain the upgraded environment
By partnering with Interval, the client not only achieved its urgent upgrade goals but also laid a solid foundation for more efficient IT operations moving forward.
