How to achieve a seamless, end-to-end Tenant to Tenant migration

Migrating services from Tenant to Tenant is a challenge for any enterprise. However, when it involves moving emails, users, passwords, security groups, workstations, OneDrive and SharePoint Online, the challenge is magnified. 

Still, this challenge can be overcome successfully and without disruption with the right strategy and the right team. In this case study, we show how Wezen helped an international company to perform a comprehensive migration. At the same time, we delve into the process to ensure the continuity of operations and protect the organization’s critical data.

The challenge: Complete migration without interruptions

The multinational company had sold part of the company. For this reason, it needed to perform a migration of users and resources to the new company.  

This included the complete migration of:

• 250 users, 
• passwords, 
• security groups, 
• workstations, 
• emails, 
• OneDrive and 
• SharePoint Online

The main challenge was to make this migration to Tenant seamless, as the employees depended on these systems for their daily work. 

Moreover, the company handles sensitive information, so data security was considered a top priority throughout the process.

Wezen Group Solution: A comprehensive and secure approach

At Wezen, we took a meticulous and multi-faceted approach to address this challenge. The process began with a thorough audit of the entire environment, from mail accounts to security groups to SharePoint Online configurations. 

This allowed the team to identify potential pain points and design a customized strategy to address each component of the migration orderly.

We then performed the migration in carefully planned phases to minimize the impact on productivity. We used the Bit Titan tool for the migration, which not only facilitated the accurate transfer of mailboxes. For users and passwords, we used the Microsoft Active Directory Migration Tool. 

This ensured that employees could access their accounts without having to reset passwords or experience authentication problems. 

The step-by-step of a successful Tenant to Tenant migration

First, we performed a test with 10 users to ensure that all permissions and access settings were correctly replicated in the new Tenant.

We then proceeded with the complete migration of all users and resources, so that employees could continue to work while the migration progressed.

Throughout the process, constant communication with the company’s IT team was key to coordinate every step of the migration. In addition, we were able to keep employees informed about deadlines and changes that could affect their day-to-day activities.

Results: Full and successful migration to Tenant with zero outages

Thanks to Wezen Group’s comprehensive approach and precise execution, the migration from Tenant to Tenant was a complete success. We transferred mailboxes without any data loss. At the same time we migrated all users, security groups and workstations without employees noticing any interruptions in their workflow.

The transition of files and settings from OneDrive and SharePoint Online was seamless, allowing teams to access their ongoing documents and projects seamlessly. In addition, security groups and permission settings were moved without error, maintaining the integrity of access policies within the organization.

The process was secure and smooth, allowing the company to focus on its key operations and continue to grow without interruption.
