Replacing Thin Clients Across 25+ Branch Offices
25+ offices. 250+ devices. Full chain of custody.
A phased, site-specific rollout that swapped out outdated thin clients across more than two dozen branch and satellite offices, with compliant data-wipe and disposal documentation on every device that came out.
25+ dispersed branch and satellite offices were running outdated thin clients that needed replacing for VDI performance, security, and compliant disposal.
Every device coming out of service carried real risk if it wasn't wiped and disposed of correctly: NIST 800-88, GDPR, and CCPA all had a say in how that had to happen, on top of the hardware refresh itself.
And it wasn't a single rollout. It was 25+ of them, each with its own local hours, technician availability, and blackout periods to work around.
This wasn't just an IT swap. Finance, Procurement, Facilities, Legal, and outside vendors all had a stake in how, and how fast, 25+ locations got touched.
Built a phased, site-specific rollout with pre-shipped deployment kits and full chain-of-custody documentation on every disposed device.
Three different problems, at the same time, across offices that don't run on the same clock.
- Coordinating concurrent installations across 25+ geographically dispersed offices: technician availability, local hours, and blackout periods
- Meeting strict data-wipe compliance standards (NIST 800-88, GDPR, CCPA) during legacy device disposal
- Aligning expectations across IT, Finance, Procurement, Facilities, and third-party vendors
The real win wasn't the hardware, it was the paper trail. Every device that came out of service left with proof it was wiped and disposed of correctly, across 25+ locations, without a single audit gap.
