Planning
Sites, schedule and device list are agreed with you. That way it is clear what goes where and when, before the first device is moved.
The deadline is set, several hundred new devices need to go to different sites, each one has to arrive ready for use, the old devices need to be collected and users want to know how the new ones work. If all this happens alongside day-to-day business, deadlines slip, support requests pile up and the actual project stalls. We take on exactly this task as a plannable process: from the initial alignment to documented acceptance at the last site.
A rollout is not a single job but a chain of interdependent steps: ordering, configuring, distributing, installing, collecting old equipment, training users and documenting. As soon as one of these steps stalls, everything that follows is delayed. That is exactly the risk when a project of this size has to be handled alongside ongoing operations.
On top of that, many of these tasks require different skills: technical know-how for configuration, secure transport for sensitive devices, on-site staff for setup and user training, and clean tracking so that it remains clear at the end which device is where. As an IT rollout service provider, we take on exactly these high-risk processes for you, at a fixed price per device. This frees up your own technicians for ongoing operations. Our focus is on logistically demanding products that we deliver right to the point of use.
Our hardware rollout service follows a clearly structured four-step process. Each step feeds into the next, so your new hardware goes live on schedule and in an orderly way.
Sites, schedule and device list are agreed with you. That way it is clear what goes where and when, before the first device is moved.
From goods receipt to transport-safe packaging, we fully prepare every device, including pre-configuration, so it is ready for use as soon as it arrives.
Our service technicians handle on-site IT installation: setup, connection to your existing network and removal of old devices, across Germany and across multiple sites.
Users are trained on how to operate the devices, and acceptance is documented. This way, every site is completed in a traceable manner.
For a device to be ready for use on arrival, it has to be properly prepared beforehand, and completely: from the right equipment to the digital connection to your systems.
Goods receipt, system-based registration and order-specific provisioning of every device.
Device, accessories, cables, documentation and licence are combined into one ready-to-ship unit.
Selection, software setup and network and access preparation. More on this in the next section.
Transport-safe packaging, labelling and picking by site or rollout wave.

Whether you are replacing a few workstations at one site or rolling out hundreds of devices across Germany: the process stays the same and is tailored to the scope of your project. This makes the hardware rollout service suitable for both small projects and large multi-site projects.
Traceability is ensured by serial-number-based inventory management, so it is always clear which device is at which site.

A rollout does not end with setting up the new technology. On request, we take back your old devices and pass them on for professional refurbishment and secure resale, so no legacy equipment is left behind at your sites and its residual value is preserved.
A hardware rollout is the planned introduction of new IT devices at one or more sites, including pre-configuration, delivery, on-site installation, user training and removal of the old devices.
A rollout with CDS runs in four steps: planning of sites, schedule and device list; full pre-configuration of the devices; on-site installation including connection and removal of old devices; and user training with documented acceptance.
On request, CDS takes care of the take-back: old devices are dismantled, transported securely to us and passed on for resale or disposal.
Yes. The CDS hardware rollout service is scalable and suits single sites as well as large multi-site projects.
Behind every service at CDS are experienced IT and high-tech specialists. We listen, work with you to find solutions, and guide you through the process from the initial consultation to implementation. Get in touch with us however you prefer.
