What our customers have to say
To support deployment of a new Microsoft Exchange platform, ICM's Infrastructure Optimisation team delivered a structured way to assess our current state - in terms of maturity, cost and capability - and map our desired state. Working closely with ICM, our infrastructure team consolidated various processes using different deployment tools and packaged applications, providing a far leaner build process that, ultimately, means our PC deployment programme is a success. And we have 4,000 PCs across the UK and Ireland.
