Windows 11 Migration Across 40+ Schools

Challenge

With the end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 approaching, over forty schools required a structured migration programme to ensure security compliance and operational continuity. The complexity of the estate was significant. Device models varied, hardware compatibility needed verification, and deployment had to align with academic calendars to avoid disruption.

Our Solution

Cnetso developed a large-scale migration framework tailored to multi-site delivery. Each school's device estate was audited, compatibility assessed, and upgrade requirements identified. Deployment was phased carefully around term schedules, and security baselines were strengthened during rollout to align with modern best practices. The programme was executed across all schools without major operational interruption.

Key Results

Measurable Results

• Over 3,000+ devices were successfully migrated.

• Deployment efficiency improved rollout time by 30% compared to traditional manual methods through structured automation.

• Endpoint security posture strengthened, reducing identified vulnerabilities by over 40% across the estate.

• No school experienced extended downtime during transition.

• This project demonstrated Cnetso's ability to deliver coordinated transformation at scale, across multiple sites, within strict operational timeframes.
