Existing Environment
Current Environment
Contoso uses various versions of Microsoft SQL Server for its online store application.
Licenses are purchased under Select Plus, Open, Full Packaged Product (FPP). and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Some licenses have Software Assurance (SA). Contoso is not enrolled in a Software Assurance Membership (SAM).
Problem Statement
Contoso identifies the following issues:
The users in the IT department who are responsible for licensing are unaware of the software

installations done in the branch offices and the warehouses. Currently, branch office and warehouse managers purchase software licenses independently, according to their needs and to seasonal changes in employment.
The IT manager reports that there is a limited budget to update the internal infrastructure compared to

the budget to update the infrastructure for the online store systems. The manager also reports that there is limited staff available to manage the IT infrastructure.
The HR department reports that requests for vacation time for employees in the warehouses are sent to

them by using email and that the current process is unmanageable.
The IT department users who are responsible for licensing report that they spend too much time

managing various types of licensing solutions.
The research department reports that it frequently lacks the server hardware resources to test new

multi-tiered applications.
Requirements
Business Goals
Contoso has the following business goals:
Minimize the costs of upgrading.

Deliver IT resources to users on demand.

Use current and standardized software across the company.

Increase and decrease the license count based on seasonal employment.

Meet an internal IT department requirement that new systems be low maintenance.

Create an HR absence workflow system to manage the vacation time of the users at the warehouses.

Update the company's internal IT environment and minimize all costs associated with the update.

Planned Changes
Contoso is considering two options:
Purchasing new hardware and software and keeping all systems on-premises

Migrating the existing IT environment to the cloud

Both solutions will be implemented by the IT department.
Contoso plans to use the latest version of Windows Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, and Microsoft Lync Server.
All of the users, except for the warehouse users, must be able to use the Enterprise Voice feature of Lync.
