Microsoft O365 Integration in M&A Scenarios

As an increasing number of organizations are migrating to cloud office platforms, the possibility of synchronizable systems in mergers or acquisitions is relatively common.  The challenges faced by those M&A’s with two completely different systems can be a tad more overwhelming than a scenario when two O365 environments come together. 

This white-paper will map the 3 scenarios that emerge in an M&A situation, with a deep dive on the most effective migration strategy. 

• An O365-based enterprise merges with/acquires another O365-based enterprise.
• An O365-based enterprise merges with/acquires a non-O365-based enterprise and must deal with migration, governance, as well as security and application and user management
• A non-O365-based enterprise merges with/acquires an O365-based enterprise and must deal with integration issues, and plan for proper governance 

This paper is an experience capture of how Microland mitigated these challenges while deploying Microsoft O365 solutions across scenarios.
