In order to contribute and support the business growth, technology & infrastructure services, Mastek decided to move its infrastructure from streamline state to optimized one, aiming at increasing productivity, reducing IT operational cost, etc. The company took reference of Infrastructure Optimization model of Microsoft. With assistance from Microsoft team, the project was initiated phase-wise.

In the first phase the Windows 2000 Active directory infrastructure was migrated to Windows 2003. In the second phase the Exchange 2000 Email infrastructure had to be migrated to Exchange 2007. It was designed considering Mastek's DR plan. Next phase was for standardizing the desktop environment across the organization, with automated deployment.

The same methodology and tools were also extended for patch management for compliance and reporting. The implementation has been able to give standardization of operating environment for users, reduced calls to the help desk, improved security within the corporate network, reduced operational cost, increased uptime of systems, and improved productivity for end users.
