Executive Summary

Wilson Parking, a leading provider of parking management and technology solutions across New Zealand, was approaching the end of support for its Windows 10 device fleet. This presented both operational and security risks – outdated systems could compromise compliance, security posture, and productivity.

CorIT Tech partnered with Wilson Parking to deliver a complete device lifecycle refresh and seamless transition to Windows 11. Leveraging Microsoft Autopilot, hybrid domain join, and Microsoft Intune, CorIT Tech deployed modern, secure, and compliant endpoints with minimal business disruption.

Today, Wilson Parking’s workforce benefits from faster device setup, unified endpoint security, and future-ready management through the modern Microsoft 365 stack.

Client Overview

Wilson Parking New Zealand operates one of the country’s largest parking networks, managing both on-street and off-street parking solutions nationwide. The company’s technology-driven approach supports thousands of daily users, requiring secure, reliable, and easily managed IT infrastructure to keep operations running efficiently.

Challenge / Problem Statement

Wilson Parking faced the upcoming Windows 10 end-of-support (EOS) milestone.
Key challenges included:

• Aging hardware and software creating compatibility and performance concerns

• Risk of non-compliance with modern security baselines

• Manual device provisioning processes slowing new deployments

• Disparate endpoint management tools complicating IT support

Failure to modernise risked downtime, increased costs, and security vulnerabilities.

Objectives

• Replace all Windows 10 devices before end-of-support deadlines

• Standardise deployments using Microsoft Autopilot for efficiency and consistency

• Enable hybrid Azure AD join with Intune for centralised management

• Minimise end-user disruption during rollout

• Strengthen endpoint compliance and security posture

Solution

CorIT Tech designed a modern device lifecycle management solution built on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem:

• Microsoft Autopilot for zero-touch provisioning and rapid deployment

• Hybrid Azure AD Join to maintain on-premises identity compatibility while enabling cloud management

• Microsoft Intune for policy enforcement, patching, and compliance tracking

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to deliver advanced threat protection

• Change management and communication plan to ensure user readiness and confidence

The rollout was executed in waves to ensure minimal business disruption and quick IT validation.

Implementation

The deployment followed CorIT Tech’s proven Modern Endpoint Framework:

1. Planning & Assessment – Audit of existing Windows 10 assets, group policies, and security configurations.

2. Autopilot Preparation – Hardware registration, profile creation, and automated deployment policies configured in Intune.

3. Pilot Rollout – Initial device testing and validation with key Wilson Parking users.

4. Full Deployment – Phased delivery of new Windows 11 devices across business units.

5. Post-Deployment Review – Compliance verification and performance benchmarking.

Challenges such as hybrid join authentication and legacy printer configurations were addressed through iterative testing and targeted Intune policies.

Results / Outcomes

Quantitative and qualitative success metrics:

• 100% of Windows 10 devices replaced ahead of support cutoff

• 60% faster deployment time through Autopilot automation

• Full compliance with Microsoft 365 security baselines and Defender integration

• Zero unplanned downtime reported during rollout

• Streamlined onboarding for new users via Autopilot self-provisioning

The transition modernised Wilson Parking’s endpoint environment, reduced IT overhead, and ensured long-term supportability within Microsoft’s modern workplace framework.

Conclusion

By leveraging Microsoft’s modern management ecosystem, CorIT Tech helped Wilson Parking seamlessly evolve from legacy systems to a secure, compliant, and automated Windows 11 environment.
The result: a future-ready, cloud-managed endpoint strategy aligned with Wilson Parking’s operational excellence and digital transformation roadmap.
