Case Study: U.S. Brokerage and Banking Company achieves rapid Windows 8 migration and $425K immediate savings with 1E Nomad

U.S. Brokerage and Banking Company - Customer Case Study

This U.S. brokerage and banking firm, with 7.9 million client accounts and more than 300 offices, faced a strict federal deadline to migrate to Windows 8 after having missed the previous XP-to-7 transition. The company planned large-scale manual migrations and evaluated native SCCM options but found only minimal time and cost savings, so it needed a faster, more efficient approach to meet timeline and budget constraints.

The firm deployed Nomad on workstations across 300 remote branches to control bandwidth and enable peer-to-peer content delivery for software distribution and OS deployment, avoiding the need for remote distribution points. As a result it migrated 4,000 seats without additional servers, met its migration deadlines, saved $425K immediately by skipping 350 distribution points, and realized roughly $200K per year in ongoing operational savings.
