IT Deployments - Business & Technical Support Planning

** Now with role play and quizzes at the end of each section! **

Over this course, you'll learn the different aspects that you need to consider when either deploying equipment to a new site, or integrating a pre-existing IT environment from a recently acquired company, topics included on this course are as follows:

* Site Survey - know your site and what to expect when installing new equipment

* Identifying key services that are in use in your organisation

* Regulatory considerations for your business, note that some businesses have to follow multiple sets of regulations

* Software and hardware compatibility overview, ensure that software is tested on new equipment before deployment

* Identifying custom software and any considerations needed

* How to minimise service downtime during a migration

* Performance baselines, i.e. what is normal in terms of performance

* Post-migration troubleshooting for after a deployment has been completed

It is important to note that no two deployments are the same and you should expect the unexpected, as there will always be issues that you haven't planned for, the key to success here is knowing when and how to adapt to changing circumstances as appropriate. This is especially true in larger scale deployments, as the larger the deployment, the more complex it is, and therefore the more that could potentially go wrong.
