History

M365 rollout continues, with Office Suite, Teams, and Office app automation actively deploying. Device provisioning is progressing, with Zero Touch available for new devices already enrolled in Apple Business Manager (ABM). Support processes are being established, including ticket routing through Stagwell IT. Upcoming hires are being supported through device reclamation and reassignment planning. Follow-up sessions have been scheduled to troubleshoot business-critical Box document access issues.

Blockers

Box documents created as Google files remain inaccessible or uneditable because Box content was not migrated. One device remains unenrolled and inactive for approximately one month. Existing hardware outside ABM requires manual enrollment before redeployment. Operational processes for onboarding/offboarding, device returns, and inventory ownership are still being finalized. Google licensing must remain active to support Box authentication until a separate Box migration project is completed. Additional support issues remain (Okta login, OneNote recovery, iOS Mail vs. Outlook).

Leadership Context

Box migration has been identified as a separate future project requiring approval and planning. Apple Business Manager domain capture will be needed to convert personal Apple IDs to managed corporate accounts. Leadership decisions are still needed on SharePoint branding/separation requirements and long-term support model (including potential on-site support cadence). Device inventory and reuse planning is important to support new hires without additional hardware purchases.

Overall office build remains on schedule despite construction dependencies. Meeting room installation timeline is tracking as planned. Updated move-in schedule: Mono: Week of July 27; CMV: Week of August 10. Furniture delivery is scheduled for July 17, followed by installation beginning July 18. Convergint installation remains planned for mid-July. Office setup, workstation staging, Robin floor planning, and decommissioning activities are actively being coordinated.

Blockers

Electrical room drywall and duct work continue to delay infrastructure work but are not expected to impact schedule if completed within the next week. Fiber optics (FS order) remains delayed due to finance/credit card approval. Cat 6 installation must be rescheduled after vendor cancellation (currently targeting July 2). Some cameras and speakers for ArchKey are backordered. Mono requested additional meeting room displays, but adding second TVs would require reconstruction and cannot be completed before move-in. Final building inspection remains a dependency before staff can occupy the office. Allocation of the dedicated IT storage room is still awaiting confirmation.

Leadership Context

Finance approval process for fiber purchases may require escalation to prevent future procurement delays. Leadership decision is needed regarding conference room decommissioning timing to balance business operations with move activities. Additional support resources will be required during decommissioning (late July through early August). Decision on dedicated IT storage space remains important for secure equipment management after move-in.

Firewall and high availability deployment has been successfully completed following extensive troubleshooting. Core project implementation is complete, including meeting Strata Cloud requirements. Remaining work is limited to core service configuration, Microsoft service templating, and conference room testing prior to handoff.

Blockers

No major project blockers remain.

Leadership Context

Project is transitioning from implementation to validation and operational readiness. Remaining activities are focused on testing and configuration rather than infrastructure deployment, with Day 2 operational support expected after completion.

Mac migration continues successfully; No major issues - 36 of 120 devices migrated successfully

Blockers

iOS migration is paused due to the risk of irreversible data loss in WhatsApp - Users were using personal WhatsApp accounts on corporate phones - WhatsApp was removed and reinstalled on those corporate phones - Permanent deletion of data for affected users

Leadership Context

- 11 users confirmed affected, including senior leadership and key business users - Data are stored on devices only; No backup - Include the possibility of mobile apps / or any business-critical applications in corporate devices (whether used by personal account/business accounts) that may affect the business during Discovery moving forward - Include Apple account backup as an option to backup their data

Migration - Mac and Windows device migrations are almost finished. - 25 Mac devices remaining; 10 devices for today, 15 devices the following day - Focusing on final validation, wifi (FreeRADIUS) rollout, and edge-case clean-up - 17 Windows devices remaining; some devices are possibly terminated users or inactive devices - FreeRADIUS - tested with pilot users; if testing succeeds, rollout to all Mac and Windows devices - Pending go-live by end of this week - Remote migration via VPN has not yet been tested Timeline - Target completion - mid-end of July

Blockers

- FreeRADIUS testing failed - authentication issue - Collected logs; Troubleshooting is in process

- All machines have been enrolled and deployed with SentinelOne - Support channel is still active for any issues - Handed over to EUC - Closing the Orch piece

This project is way past its deadline but we are slowly making progress. We have gathered new information about how they want/need to be setup on SKDK's environment. We have internal sessions scheduled this week to create several suggestions regarding the setup to avoid multiple licensing whilst ensuring collaboration is in place. Target is to meet with the agency and schedule an external kickoff by EOW or early next week.

We have successfully aligned with the agency regarding the data migration piece. The team is setting up the migration while i am working with agency's leadership team to send out communications. Target kickoff of the initial migration is early next week. We are also making a move on the MAconomy and UKG renaming of all Forsman users to allow smooth operations on Workfront. We are tentatively scheduled to rename all users from Forsman to 72andsunny on July 9th. Commnications will be coordinated with the agency within the week.

Numetrix domain was successfully setup for warm up by Vito last week. This process will take about 30 - 60 days to complete. Once done, we will start discovery sessions for their migration. We are also setting up a new M365 tenant for The People Platform. Once all information is gathered (credit card details and POC) we will initiate the process of setup and make sure they are onboarded to Stagwell's EA.

72andSunny dashboards’s UAT is now with the BI team for reviewing of findings. We’ll meet with the testers on Tuesday to confirm if understanding is right before Manoj proceeds with fixing the issues.

Next step is with Tony but he’s on a break so BI team is blocked with their activities, which works for us so they can focus on the 72NS dashboards.

Blockers

BI and Maconomy are still yet to update their tasks and duration on the project plan.

POC of Harris X’s custom integration is completed by the Odin team. Next step is for the agency to provide the links to their Sharepoint sites to complete the set-up.

Blockers

The links were requested from the agency a while back but still not provided. Jorge confirmed it’s Brian who can provide them.
