Successfully deployed 24,000 hardware devices across 900 bank branches in a 6-hour maintenance window.
Thanks again to all for a great team effort. Not one user complaint… zero… during the entire deployment, meaning zero impact to production.

Maintained schedule dates in large enterprise big data deployments despite a challenging environment.
Congratulations and appreciate everyone's hard work. It takes special effort to maintain deployment dates on large projects like these. So well done and enjoy your weekend.
