About The Customer
The customer is a Fortune 50 company, one of the world's largest manufacturers in the aerospace, defense, and building industries. With over 125,000 employees operating in 49 countries, the company relies heavily on mobility to support its operations. The company needed to upgrade its existing BlackBerry devices to Windows smartphones to enhance its mobility infrastructure. Given its global presence and the scale of its operations, the company required a robust and reliable managed mobility services (MMS) provider to ensure a smooth transition and continued support for its mobility needs.
The Challenge
The company needed to migrate approximately 50,000 BlackBerry devices to Windows smartphones in a seamless and cost-effective manner. This migration was essential to maintain operational efficiency and ensure that the company's mobility needs were met across its global operations. The challenge was to find a managed mobility services (MMS) provider capable of handling such a large-scale migration while providing comprehensive services including procurement, deployment, helpdesk support, depot services, wireless optimization, and mobile device management administration. The company conducted an extensive request for proposal (RFP) process, evaluating more than six vendors, including pure play MMS providers, wireless carriers, and systems integrators.
The Solution
The company selected Honeywell as its managed mobility services (MMS) provider after a thorough RFP process. Honeywell's ability to deliver a complete solution, including procurement, deployment, helpdesk support, depot services, wireless optimization, and mobile device management administration, was a key differentiator. Honeywell successfully managed the migration of 50,000 devices from BlackBerry to Windows Phone 8.1 within 12 months. The comprehensive suite of services provided by Honeywell ensured that the company's mobility needs were met across its global operations. Honeywell's global reach and expertise allowed the company to work with a single MMS vendor, simplifying the management of its mobility infrastructure and ensuring consistent support and service delivery.
Operational Impact
  • Honeywell provided a fast and efficient migration of 50,000 devices from BlackBerry to Windows Phone 8.1 worldwide in under 12 months.
  • The company now works with a single MMS vendor for all its mobility needs, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple vendors.
  • Honeywell's global reach ensures that the company's mobility needs are met across its diverse and widespread operations.
  • The comprehensive suite of services provided by Honeywell includes procurement, deployment, helpdesk support, depot services, wireless optimization, and mobile device management administration.
  • The company's managers, initially skeptical about the ability of one provider to deliver such comprehensive services, were convinced by Honeywell's performance and capabilities.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Migration of 50,000 devices completed in under 12 months.
