Running an IT rollout across Swiss sites
One programme, many doors. The country is small; the badge cultures are not.
A Zurich HQ plus Lausanne and Lugano branches is a normal Swiss map. Treating every canton as a one-off visit is how kits go missing and windows slip. Simaks runs this as a single programme — detail on the rollouts service.
Checklist before week one
- Site list with postcode, floor language, and access lead time
- Kit staged per wave, not “we will ship when we can”
- Cutover windows in CET/CEST, including nights if the floor needs it
- One exception log, not six WhatsApp threads
- A named owner on your side for access that fails at the door
Language is a wave constraint
Deutschschweiz and Romandie should not share a single English-only crew if reception will not let them in. Flag the floor language per site. See coverage and the German / French hubs.
What “done” means
Image deployed, old kit packed, photos filed, exceptions listed. If you only measure “engineer arrived”, the rollout is not closed.
