Microsoft 365 tenant merger Assessment

Navigate the complexity of merging Microsoft 365 environments with our tenant merger assessment. It provides a thorough analysis of both tenants to ensure a smooth, efficient integration, covering IT infrastructure, redundancies, technology-stack compatibility, and user and data migration strategy.

The goal is to streamline the merger, minimize disruption, and optimize the unified tenant for seamless operation and collaboration.

Your assessment process

Step 1 — Initial assessment and planning: we analyze both tenants slated to merge, focusing on IT infrastructure, configurations, and usage patterns. We identify overlaps, compatibility issues, and unique features, and set clear objectives and timelines while accounting for data governance, compliance, and business continuity.

Step 2 — Data and user mapping: we plan the migration of data and user accounts with effective identity mapping, determine how to consolidate accounts, groups, and permissions, and devise a secure method for transferring critical data across Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive while protecting integrity and access controls.

Step 3 — Implementation, testing, and optimization: we execute the plan, run post-migration testing to verify functionality and access, then monitor the integrated environment, resolve issues, optimize, and support users through the transition.

Key elements we focus on

Pre-merger preparation: a full evaluation of both organizations' IT infrastructure, subscriptions, technology stacks, and usage patterns to create a unified vision.

Data migration strategy: a robust plan using tools like the SharePoint Migration Tool and Azure Data Box, with data security prioritized throughout, especially under a zero-trust framework.

Security and compliance: Microsoft 365 features like Entra Conditional Access and Data Loss Prevention policies applied to protect data and meet regulatory requirements.

Tools and workflows: existing applications and integrations evaluated to standardize on the best-fit solutions and reduce redundancy.

Communication and training: clear communication plans and training on new tools to ensure smooth adoption.

Continuous optimization: usage monitored, security reviewed, and new Microsoft 365 capabilities adopted to keep improving the merged environment.
