Case Study: The Royal British Legion enables fast remote working with Microsoft Teams from Chess ICT

The Royal British Legion enables 1,500 staff on Microsoft Teams in 3 weeks with Chess ICT

The Royal British Legion, a charity supporting armed forces members and veterans, faced the urgent challenge of enabling remote collaboration for its 1,500 staff at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis. They partnered with Chess ICT to accelerate the deployment of Microsoft Teams, needing a solution that could be implemented within three weeks across a mixed and complex device estate.

Chess ICT worked closely with the charity's internal teams to rapidly deploy Microsoft Teams with appropriate governance and a comprehensive user adoption program. This included tailored training, webinars, and the implementation of Yammer for internal communications. As a result, Chess ICT successfully enabled all 1,500 users with Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings, allowing the organization to maintain seamless collaboration and support its critical work during a period of remote working.
