Workstation migration: modernize your fleet by updating your Windows with complete peace of mind

This is the process of transferring an entire user environment - system, applications, profiles, data - to a new workstation or a new version of the operating system. This can involve a simple hardware replacement, a version upgrade (Windows 10 → 11) or a transition to the Cloud (Azure Virtual Desktop).

A poorly anticipated migration can lead to data loss, work interruptions and software incompatibilities. Planning allows us to audit the installed base, check dependencies and define priorities (critical workstations, business services). At IT Systèmes, each project is prepared via an audit phase and a precise schedule to limit any operational risk.

The duration depends on the number of workstations, the size of the profiles and the type of migration. On average, a workstation can be migrated in 1 to 2 hours. For large-scale projects, planning in successive waves (batch by department or site) enables gradual migration, without impacting production.

Yes, thanks to our synchronization tools, transfers are carried out during non-working hours (N/WH) and data is automatically synchronized. The user returns to the same workstation the next day, with files, shortcuts and settings unchanged.

Absolutely. Our tools back up and restore all profiles: documents, favorites, Outlook signatures, software configurations and network connections. Each migrated workstation has the same ergonomics and access, making it easy to get up to speed straight away.

When a business application is incompatible with the new environment, we offer alternative solutions: compatibility mode, application virtualization, remote publishing (RDS, AVD) or application redesign. The aim is to ensure functional continuity without blocking migration.

We integrate security right from the design stage: BitLocker encryption, Azure AD authentication, MFA policies, centralized antivirus and workstation hardening. Transfers are encrypted, supervised and traceable. At the end of the project, a security audit verifies configuration compliance.

Yes, IT Systèmes deploys virtual environments on Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365. These solutions centralize management, optimize security and reduce hardware costs. Users benefit from an always up-to-date desktop, accessible from any device.

Our teams have experience of large-scale deployments (several hundred or thousands of workstations) across multiple sites. We use centralized tools (Intune, MDT, Autopilot) to automate transfers and guarantee total consistency of the installed base.

A well-managed migration improves the security, stability and performance of workstations, while reducing maintenance costs. It also encourages the adoption of modern tools (Microsoft 365, Teams, OneDrive) and boosts overall employee productivity.

Yes, it's an essential part of our approach. We communicate upstream, organize targeted training and offer personalized support. This approach ensures smooth adoption and a rapid return to full productivity.

Because we combine experience, tools and human support. We have carried out migration projects for organizations of all sizes, with a high level of satisfaction and zero data loss. Our method combines automation, security and proximity to guarantee a smooth and lasting transition.
