MICROSOFT 365 TENANT AND ACTIVE DIRECTORY MIGRATIONS
Mergers, acquisitions, and carveouts present unique challenges for CIOs and IT managers, not least of which is combining (or dividing) the infrastructures of the entities involved. One of the most challenging yet critical of these is migrations involves Microsoft 365 and Active Directory. Besides license and spending considerations, the actual data cleansing and combination must be precisely planned, tested, and executed without disrupting the company’s entire operations.
At SubjectData, we’re experts at IT consulting and project management for M&A, including how to optimally plan and execute the migration of your Microsoft 365 Tenant and Active Directory solutions and data.
A TOOL IS JUST A FRACTION OF IT
There are many tools to help automate the migration of users, licenses, email, active directory, and other Microsoft 365 components from one tenant to another. SubjectData partners with the best-of-the-best when helping clients do these migrations. But successful migrations involve more than selecting a migration tool and hoping everything turns out fine. A push-button tool can only do what you instruct it to do. The other 95% is planning—and that's where SubjectData, with its long experience in migrations, can be your trusted advisor.
IT'S ABOUT AVOIDING DISRUPTION
Microsoft 365 has so many moving parts, all integral to your business—Active Directory, workloads, email, folders and files, Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Sharepoint, Microsoft Teams, and more. How can anyone expect just to push a button and migrate everything from one tenant to another—or combine multiple tenants into one—without disrupting the business? The potential and costly impacts of poor migration planning include: Missed Timelines | Business Stoppage | Loss of Customers | Loss of Revenue With SubjectData's expert planning, you can avoid these and other business disruptions.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE EMPLOYEES?
When merging two organizations, the last thing you need is a disruption to employees, especially those you're integrating into a new culture. A botched migration can bring everyone's work to a crawl (or a halt), but it can also damage employees' confidence in the executive and technical leadership. Further, most companies—even those with frequent M&As—don't have internal bandwidth or knowledge to ensure a positive migration experience. It's hard, but you can rest easy knowing SubjectData's expert teams can ensure a smooth transition for all your employees—old and new—every time.
