Turning reactive IT refresh into a proactive 600-site program

A global enterprise was replacing end-of-life IT infrastructure reactively. BEPC implemented a proactive, cyclical refresh program across 600+ sites, running everything from site surveys to network-architecture deployment against global standards.

The challenge

The customer managed IT infrastructure reactively, replacing equipment only as it failed, across a global footprint, with no consistent cycle and inconsistent adherence to global standards.

Objectives

  • Replace reactive refresh with a proactive, cyclical model
  • Manage end-of-life equipment ahead of failure
  • Enforce adherence to global standards
  • Deliver end-to-end, from site survey to network deployment

BEPC's role

BEPC ran the program, project management, scheduling, procurement, and resource management, managing the refresh across 600+ sites globally with an end-to-end approach from site surveys to network-architecture implementations.

Scope & approach

Proactive, cyclical end-of-life refresh model
Site surveys across 600+ global locations
Network-architecture implementation
Procurement, scheduling & resource management

BEPC replaced fire-fighting with a predictable cycle, surveying sites, scheduling refreshes ahead of end-of-life, procuring to global standards, and deploying network architecture site by site across the global estate.

Outcomes

The customer moved from a reactive posture to a proactive, cyclical refresh across 600+ sites, improving adherence to global standards and bringing predictability to a previously ad-hoc process.

Trust & references

Six hundred sites used to mean six hundred surprises. BEPC's program management turned our refresh into a predictable cycle — surveys, procurement, scheduling, and deployment running on one cadence, to one global standard.
