Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Merger Assessment Process

 

Identify and implement essential enhancements in your tenant environments, including updating compliance and governance strategies, streamlining data integration, and optimizing system configurations.

Step #1: Initial Assessment & Planning

 

Begin by analyzing both Microsoft 365 tenants slated for merging, focusing on IT infrastructures, configurations, and usage patterns. Identify overlaps, compatibility issues, and unique features that require attention. Establish clear objectives and timelines for the merger, considering data governance, compliance, and business continuity.

Step #2: Data & User Mapping

 

Plan the migration of data and user accounts, ensuring a seamless transition through effective user identity mapping. Determine strategies for consolidating user accounts, groups, and permissions. This step also involves devising a secure and efficient method for transferring critical data from services like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive while safeguarding data integrity and access controls.

Step #3: Implementation, Testing, and Optimization

 

Execute the merger plan, followed by comprehensive post-migration testing to verify functionality and user access. Continuously monitor the integrated environment, addressing any emerging issues, optimizing processes, and providing essential training and support to users to ensure a smooth transition.

Key Elements of Your Microsoft 365 Tenant Merger Assessment

Pre-Merger Preparation


Begin with a comprehensive evaluation of both organizations' IT infrastructures, focusing on Microsoft 365 subscriptions, technology stacks, and usage patterns. Identifying overlaps, redundancies, and gaps is essential for creating a unified vision for the merged environment.

Data Migration Strategy


Develop a robust data migration strategy during the assessment, utilizing tools such as the SharePoint Migration Tool and Azure Data Box for large-scale transfers. Prioritize data security throughout the process, especially under a zero-trust framework, to safeguard critical information.

Security and Compliance


Ensure strong security and compliance as part of the merger. Leverage Microsoft 365 security features like Azure Active Directory Conditional Access and implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to protect data and meet regulatory requirements.

Customized Tools & Workflows


Enhance efficiency by streamlining tools and workflows across the merged organizations during the assessment. Evaluate existing applications and integrations to determine the best-fit solutions for consistency and reduced redundancy.

Employee Communication & Training


Empower employees during the transition through effective communication and training as part of the assessment. Develop comprehensive communication plans and conduct training sessions on new features and tools to ensure smooth adoption.

Continuous Optimization


Post-merger, monitor usage patterns, regularly review security measures, and stay informed about new Microsoft 365 features to continually optimize the merged environment.
