Deploy Intercept X and get rid of other endpoint solutions in AD domain

Hi, 
 I am considering to replace existing Endpoint Security products (Webroot, ESET and Panda) with Sophos Intercept X on a dozen of customers. They all run Windows AD environment, most of clients are desktops in local domain. Is there any reliable automtion method to deploy Intercept X and uninstall other products in one go?

Sophos Central Enterprise is intended for use on a campus-like environment and may not be suitable for your needs. 
 I'd suggest getting set up with the Sophos Central Partner Dashboard. Visually the two (Central Enterprise/Central Partner) look very similar, the difference being that Sophos Central Partner allows you to handle licensing separately for each Sub-Estate.

 A sub-estate and customer site will be synonymous once things are fully set up. 
 Andrej Pirman said: that company can only be created by adding trial Intercept-X 
 This is not entirely correct. Once you have your own Sophos Central Partner Portal, you can contact our Customer Care team (See Phone Support ) and request that the customers that you're currently working with, be added to your Partner instance. You will need to provide some identifying information from the customer site, such as " Unique ID " 
 Andrej Pirman said: My goal is to have as easy as possible overview, insight and access to management to all those resources, without having to login multiple times or having opened a dozen of browser tabs for each resource separately. 
 Once the Partner Portal is set up and all of your customers are linked, you will only need to log in to your main dashboard. Once there, you can select the desired customer site you'd like to navigate into and select "Launch" to enter their respective dashboard. 
 Licensing information will also be displayed on the dashboard to let you know when to reach out regarding renewals. 
 There are two main pages you'll get to access, known as the "Sophos Central Partner Portal" ( See guides here ) and the "Sophos Central Partner Dashboard" ( See overview guide here ). 
 The Partner Portal is more closely tied to sales enablement, whereas the Partner Dashboard allows you to view and manage your customer sites. 
 You can also find more guides under the Sophos MSP Guides section. This will require us to approve you for the Sophos Partner group. I will keep an eye out for your access request.
