History

Endpoint migration is nearing completion, with only a small number of MDM profile approvals remaining. User comms was sent and the next comms is planned for Monday, ahead of the upcoming all-hands. Discovery identified a separate M365/SharePoint tenant; initial assessment and domain usage review are underway. Three new Macs have been ordered and enrolled in DEP/ABM, with device deployment planning in progress. SentinelOne pilot remains active and awaiting the next checkpoint.

Blockers

Custom domain association within the separate M365 tenant may block domain addition to the target environment if not addressed before cutover. Domain usage has been confirmed in the separate SharePoint environment; retention and migration requirements are still being evaluated. Remaining MDM profile approvals require closure, though they are not currently impacting timeline.

Leadership Context

Migration activities are substantially complete, and focus is shifting toward cutover readiness and risk mitigation. Discovery of the secondary M365 tenant introduced a new dependency that could impact final domain migration planning. DNS access coverage and administrative permissions are being reviewed to reduce single-person dependencies during cutover.

ISP follow-up remains active through business partner contacts. Data/NAS discussions continue with key stakeholders. Restoration obligations have been communicated, and additional escalation paths have been established to drive action. Coordination continues between IT and facilities stakeholders regarding site decommissioning responsibilities.

Blockers

ISP service status remains unresolved pending vendor response through the business partner. Data/NAS discussions are delayed due to difficulty scheduling time with key stakeholders. Ownership of site decommissioning activities remains unclear, with limited engagement from parties responsible for non-IT assets. A previously scheduled walkthrough was canceled and has not yet been rescheduled. Significant non-IT equipment, including studio assets, falls outside IT scope and requires separate coordination.

Leadership Context

Project progress is increasingly dependent on stakeholder engagement rather than technical execution. Clear ownership and accountability for decommissioning activities may require leadership intervention. Delays in communication and coordination could impact facility exit timelines.

Site is operational and substantially complete. Loaner firewalls are currently in production while configuration migration to permanent hardware is underway. Troubleshooting continues on Logitech Teams devices experiencing call-related disconnects. Initial testing suggests the issue may not occur on wireless connections. Vendor support case has been opened, and additional testing results are being collected. Network equipment quote has been received, and procurement planning is underway.

Blockers

Firewall configuration migration to permanent devices is still outstanding. Logitech Teams devices continue to experience disconnects approximately 30 minutes into calls, affecting meeting reliability. Root cause has not yet been confirmed despite firmware updates and network testing. Procurement approval is pending for additional network hardware required at the site.

Leadership Context

Core site deployment is effectively complete, with remaining work focused on stabilization and optimization. Vendor engagement is active for the conferencing device issue, with a potential temporary wireless workaround available. Hardware procurement approval will be required to complete remaining network improvements.

I have already raised and followed up this week for the validation document from the agency. They confirmed that they are working on it and will give me feedback next week. Will check again early next week so we can move to the initial migration phase. We also built out a core app for BMD Google and provisioned them google cloud identities as part of BMD's move from 365 to Google.

Successfully went live with ADK Thailand's device domain change. All users from ADK -TH has been change to their new Assembly subdomain whilst awaiting the device refresh from Craig. Next steps for next week is to do a device domain migration for one user from ADK Australia so we can proceed with fully transitioning them over together with ADK Hongkong.

Successfully went live with Wave 2 last Monday. We are currently in discussion for prepping Wave 3. As per our agency contact they are prepping the site on their end and finishing some work. Once done, we can proceed with the initial sync.

Leadership Context

To improve execution, focus and delivery predictability, a targeted deployment approach has been requested. By next week, the team is expected to provide a prioritized list of focus agencies aligned to specific timelines, enabling a structured rollout plan rather than deploying resources on an ad hoc basis. This will support better planning, resource allocation, and progress tracking.

Granular project tasks have been loaded into Workfront to support detailed tracking and execution. Coordination with Amy is ongoing to confirm target dates, with the project kickoff currently estimated for June 20. In addition, a request has been made for a comprehensive list of documents that will need to be obtained from the respective system owners, ensuring all required artifacts and dependencies are identified and tracked.

Blockers

None

Leadership Context

To establish clear execution timelines and improve project visibility, detailed tasks have been structured within Workfront and target dates are being aligned with key stakeholders. Additionally, a request has been made to identify all documentation requirements from the respective system owners upfront. This approach is intended to provide early visibility into dependencies, ensure timely document collection, and enable proactive tracking.

I am continuously coordinating with Omar regarding the granular tasks required for the project. He initially committed to share the details by June 4, 2026; however, the scheduled meeting with Shannon and the relevant representative was moved to Monday. Following that discussion, Omar has confirmed that he will provide the required granular task breakdown.

Blockers

None.

Leadership Context

Continuous coordination is ongoing with Omar to finalize the granular task breakdown required for project execution. While an initial commitment was made to provide the details by June 4, 2026, this was deferred due to the rescheduling of a key discussion with Shannon and the relevant stakeholder, now set for Monday. Omar has confirmed that the granular task details will be shared immediately after that meeting, ensuring alignment with stakeholders and enabling progression of the project plan.

The 72NS UAT Kick-off is now moved to Tuesday, Jun-9 as requested by the testers. While waiting, the engineers continued to meet with Tony to finalize the dataset. Milda was available throughout to respond to questions.

Blockers

Engineers always found something wrong with the dataset causing them to go back and forth with Tony.

The EAC automation will resume next week. This week - Adobe, PowerBI and CSC teams met to align on what’s been worked on. When Dayne gets back, there’s an open question on the scope of the data that needs to be clarified. Next meeting is on June 9 with the larger group.

Stagwell HR/Recruitment: • Integration foundation live and stable (sandbox) with real-time data flowing into Workfront • Partial automation achieved (candidate creation + data ingestion working) • Full end-to-end automation in progress (limited by trigger constraints from iCIMS) Next Steps • Call with Recruitment/iCIMS next week to finalize trigger strategy (high-level vs. staged updates) with iCIMS team, as well as define and validate job closure automation approach • Confirm data model and field mappings (verticals, job brands, reporting structure) • Continue dashboard and reporting build (Workfront-first approach) • Drive stakeholder alignment to support target go-live readiness (July 1 - dependent on identified major blocker)

Blockers

• Trigger limitations from iCIMS impacting full lifecycle automation • Dependency on external stakeholders (iCIMS + Enzo team) for configuration and feasibility • Compliance constraints (PII, restricted access) shaping integration design

Harris Poll CSC implementation progressing with UAT largely completed. Functionally on track for go-live, but operational risk remains due to unresolved ownership, process dependencies, and system limitations requiring interim workarounds. Next Steps: • Finalize remaining UAT activities and process standardization. Get UAT sign-off approval • Close outstanding dependencies (e.g., permissions, documentation) to enable full workstream closure • Team agreed to avoid process changes for now, continue validating issues, and escalate unresolved workflow and vendor/integration gaps.

Blockers

Ownership across Finance, business teams, and Central Services is still not fully defined, creating scalability and execution risk. Pending final go-live date.

Leadership Context

Leadership support required to resolve outstanding dependencies and drive stakeholder accountability to complete final UAT/process alignment and enable full transition to steady-state operations. - Technical go-live date alignment - migration approach alignment - Engaging Central Services in workflow design discussion alignment for scalability purpose
