Expert advice to make your tenant migration a success

When you need to migrate, merge, split or move Microsoft 365 tenants, moving data and users is just the tip of the iceberg, especially if you have multiple domains that must co-exist for any length of time. We can provide advice and support to help you decide:

If you need to synchronise contacts and free/busy information to ensure co-workers can communicate and collaborate easily with each other and with clients throughout the migration – as though in a single domain.
What to migrate – we audit and report on your existing environment to help plan, configure and selectively migrate content, flagging any issues or areas of concern.
Whether you need to consolidate the infrastructure of the merging organisations, starting with integrating the separate Active Directory (AD) instances into one.
If and when you should look to integrate legacy on-premises users and applications with Microsoft 365.
The optimal migration path – this may be affected by politics and security issues and we have experience helping our customers negotiate these challenges – check out our latest video.
What to do with legacy email archives and journals – whether to standardise them on a single third party archive service or to use Microsoft 365 archiving instead

We can advise on other aspects of migration too, including security, privacy, anti-spam, legal holds and retention management policies.

We put governance and security at the centre of everything we do

We have extensive experience working with customers in highly regulated industries, so we understand the importance of robust data governance and compliance. We have also run divestiture tenant migrations with sensitive and complex security requirements that require expert input to plot the optimal migration path.

We offer a Security Baseline Assessment as part of every tenant to tenant migration to ensure you have secure and robust foundations for your new tenant environment. The assessment will provide you with:

clarity about data governance considerations;
details of vulnerabilities that need to be dealt with;
a view on potential cost savings.

In addition we can also run a data privacy assessment and advisory workshop to review your business and legislative needs alongside your current security and data management regime and help pinpoint gaps.

During your migration you’ll work closely with our services team, receiving the best expert advice and a personal and responsive service we believe is unrivalled.

Migrating Teams and harnessing its full potential

Cloud Essentials can help you migrate content in Microsoft Teams and Office 365 Groups, including group mailbox content, folder permissions, and delegation. We also provide support to manage target group creation, membership, and ownership in your new environment.

In our experience, many businesses are not using Teams to its full potential as a collaboration, as well as communication, platform. There is significant value to be gained from:

Making sure that Teams is fully integrated into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem in the new tenant environment
Driving up user adoption of the full functionality on offer.

We can also offer advice on best practices for content management, data retention and disposition, security, governance and how to ‘work-flow with intention’ (giving users rules and policies about when to create, share and delete in Teams). Find out more
