Project Description
Providing an industry recognized, robust, scalable, secure solution for London Tamil
Media Ltd Information Technology needs. Proposed project consist of two major phases.
First phase is design, implementation and installation of Domain, Directory Services
along with other Windows Server 2012 R2 components. Second phase is configuring
and integrating Office 365 solution with on-premises directory.
Brief about Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2012 R2 represents the next generation of IT. With more than 300
features for enhanced virtualization, systems management, cloud and mobility
technologies, Windows Server 2012 R2 delivers a platform of products and services to
help you quickly and flexibly:
Build and manage modern applications across platforms, locations and devices
Unlock insights from volumes of existing and new data
Support end-user productivity wherever and on whatever device they choose
A modern environment built on your current investment. When you optimize and
modernize your environment with Windows Server 2012 R2, you take advantage of your
existing technology and skillsets investment. You also gain all the Microsoft experience
behind building and operating virtualized environments and private/public clouds.
Delivered as an enterprise-class, simple and cost-effective server and cloud platform.
INFINITE TECHNOLOGIES - DOMAIN, DIRECTORY SERVICES & OFFICE 365 IMPLEMENTATION - JANUARY 2015 7
Advance virtualization and cloud strategy. Windows
Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V brings virtual machine scalability
and portability to new levels – you can move workloads
easily and rapidly among on-premises systems, as well as
private and public clouds. You can create a hybrid cloud
strategy based on virtualization so you can burst easily
using on-premises resources or the cloud without losing
control. Now you can respond to end-user demands and
workload spikes in real time, achieving maximum
utilization without expensive upgrades and management
overhead.
Streamline systems management and automation (also
with Microsoft System Center 2012 R2) so you can deliver
unified agent-free management, cluster-aware updating,
and integrated provisioning across server, storage and
networking resources. Address the toughest management
challenges facing large operations by streamlining and
automating management of infrastructure and workloads
to deliver efficiencies that reduce cost, while using
familiar tools.
Deliver flexible data access, faster. Windows Server 2012 R2
Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services (RDS) will enable you to
deploy virtual machines and desktops simply and securely
while improving the user experience. Remote Branch Office
capabilities and centralized management features make it
easier than ever for you to support distributed workforces.
Grow into the future at your own pace. Windows Server 2012
R2 allows you to scale clusters to 64 nodes and up to 8,000
virtual machines, so you can take full advantage of features
that support very large memory capacity and performance
with a broad range of networking options. This flexibility gives
you the assurance that when you consolidate for savings
today, you still have immense growth potential into the future.
INFINITE TECHNOLOGIES - DOMAIN, DIRECTORY SERVICES & OFFICE 365 IMPLEMENTATION - JANUARY 2015 8
Brief about Office 365
Think of it as your familiar Office, only better
Office 365 is the same Office you already know and
use every day. And then some. Because Office 365 is
powered by the cloud, you can get to your
applications and files from virtually anywhere—PC,
Mac, and tablets—and they're always up to date.
Same goes for updates to features—you get them
automatically.
Business-class email and calendaring put you
in sync Avoid communication glitches. Business-class email
and shared calendars that you can get to from
virtually anywhere means people stay in sync, and on
schedule.
Work together with online file storage and
sharing
Office 365 makes it easy to more securely share files
with co-workers, customers, and partners. Work
together on documents that are always current and
accessible from virtually anywhere.
Online conferencing brings everyone
together With online conferencing, distance really isn't an
issue. Need to get everyone together? Host an online
meeting complete with real-time note taking and
screen sharing.
INFINITE TECHNOLOGIES - DOMAIN, DIRECTORY SERVICES & OFFICE 365 IMPLEMENTATION - JANUARY 2015 9
One familiar experience, even on the go
Mobile apps let you view and edit your Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint files and more on your mobile
device. And when you get back to your desk, there
they are—content and formatting intact.
Create Office documents from any browser With Office Online, use touch-friendly applications to
create, edit, and share your Office files from any
browser. You can even share and work on docs at
the same time as others and avoid versioning hassles
later.
Security, compliance, and privacy you can
trust
Security, compliance, and privacy in the cloud? Yes.
And we're continually making improvements in Office
365 to earn, and maintain, your trust.

Approach
First phase of the project will design, implement and test the Domain Controller and
Directory Services. Following the requirement analysis customized and fine-tuned
Domain infrastructure will be built as per specifications. Policies for user and computer
governance will be defined and evaluated to confirm required standards are met.
Once the fully functional Domain Controller is set up and operational, phase two of the
project, Office 365 implementation will be commenced.
Our stepped Office 365 Delivery Methodology reflects the experience gained from
numerous Office 365 implementations. Key tenets of the methodology are
Early engagement with key stakeholders
Early identification of Active Directory issues – one of the most common pitfalls of
Office 365 implementations
A staged implementation and integration into Office 365 to minimize any possible
business impacts
End user engagement and training to enable smooth transition and on-going user
adoption
INFINITE TECHNOLOGIES - DOMAIN, DIRECTORY SERVICES & OFFICE 365 IMPLEMENTATION - JANUARY 2015 12

Project Risks
A risk is an event or situation that may negatively impact a project, if it occurs. In
contrast, issues are events that are already happening. Risks can become issues if they
are not addressed effectively.
In preparation of this deployment plan the following risks have been identified and
analyzed:
Risk Impact Probability
Change in Scope Low Low
Schedule slips past
completion deadline
Low Medium
Change in Scope
While every effort has been made to ensure that the scope of the deployment is clearly
documented in this deployment plan, unforeseen circumstances and business
conditions may result in a sudden change of scope.
Mitigation - To reduce the risk of additional scope items being introduced after project
kickoff, the draft deployment plan will be circulated for review with all stakeholders
before the plan is finalized and work begins. Any request for change in scope will be
reviewed by the project sponsor and project owner and, if possible, deferred to a
follow-up project after the completion of this project.
Contingency - If a scope change is deemed necessary and approved by the project
sponsor, the project team will identify the effort required to make the change and any
additional costs the project will incur. As this item would not have been budgeted for,
the project owner will seek additional budget from the project sponsor, or requestor.
INFINITE TECHNOLOGIES - DOMAIN, DIRECTORY SERVICES & OFFICE 365 IMPLEMENTATION - JANUARY 2015 16
Schedule slips past completion deadline
Infinite Technologies will endeavor to finish the project on the set timelines after
agreement with the sponsors. However If the project draws out longer than this,
additional costs from supporting the existing platform may be incurred.
Mitigation - To reduce the risk of project slippage, an extra time buffer will been added
to the end of every phase to account for any potential overruns.
Contingency - If a slippage does occur, the project owner will communicate any
impact to the project sponsor in the weekly status report. If a phase slips longer than
the allocated buffer time, low priority tasks will be cut from the project and will be
reviewed for inclusion in a post-deployment project.
Pricing
Note : As discussed earlier with Mr. Thayananthan, Server hardware along with Windows
Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition with 20 CALs will be provided by London Tamil Media
