Enterprise Campus Project Case
Regional Bank Branch Refresh Across 140 Sites
The branch edge had reached end of software support and the estate had drifted into four different router models bought across eight years
Client Background
Who The Client Is
A regional banking group operating 140 branches across three countries with a two person central network team
Project Challenge
The Constraint That Mattered
The branch edge had reached end of software support and the estate had drifted into four different router models bought across eight years
Customer Pain Points
What Was Actually Going Wrong
- Four hardware variants meant four config templates and four spare pools
- Change windows were limited to Sunday mornings which capped the rollout rate
- Compliance required serial level asset records that the existing register could not produce
Our Solution
What We Did About It
One branch router and one access switch model were selected and held for the whole programme. Hardware was packed per branch rather than per part number so each Sunday crew received a single carton.
Manufacturing And Process
How The Work Was Sequenced
- 1
Estate audit produced a single list of deployed part numbers and support status
- 2
Target standard fixed and stock allocated for the full 140 site quantity up front
- 3
Branch kits assembled with router switch optics rails and patch leads in one carton
- 4
Consignments released weekly against the change window calendar
Supply Chain Coordination
How Supply Risk Was Removed
Stock was allocated in a single block so the price held for eighteen months and no site was exposed to a mid programme discontinuation
Quality Control
What Was Checked On Every Unit
Every unit was seal checked serial recorded and bench powered with the software version reported before packing
Final Result
Outcome
All 140 branches were migrated inside eleven months with no window missed for hardware reasons
Customer Benefit
What Changed Afterwards
One template one spare pool and an asset register that reconciles to the serial lists issued per consignment

FAQ
Questions About This Project
Could You Deliver a Programme Like This for Us
Yes. The shape transfers directly. What changes is the site count the change window rules and the documentation format your audit requires.
How Far Ahead Should We Start
For a multi wave programme start the availability and allocation conversation before the standard is fixed. That is the point where a discontinuation is cheap to design around.
What Held the Price Stable
Allocating programme quantity up front. Once stock is positioned against an agreed quantity the price is no longer exposed to spot movement.
Do You Pack per Site
Yes. Packing per site rather than per part number is normal on multi site work and is usually the single biggest saving on install labour.
How Were Serial Records Handled
Serial lists were issued per consignment in a format the client asset register could import directly rather than reconciled at the end.
