- State of things Before, during and after migration considerations, steps and best practices Tools and partnerships AI
- Cloud and Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migrations have become increasingly relevant with the growth of the cloud. Our client data shows a significant increase in these migrations over the last three years. This trend is expected to continue, with most companies investing heavily in cloud IT hosting by 2024. Tenant-to-tenant migrations can help organizations maintain secure and organized Microsoft 365 environments, even amid constant business changes like mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and reorganizations. Using third-party tools like ShareGate can further simplify the migration process and ensure business continuity.

- Microsoft 365 Copilot, the intelligent workspace assistant, helps teams work smarter and more efficiently than ever before. Its potential to unlock value for organizations is enormous. However, the adoption of Copilot can be a challenge in itself. Deploying Copilot effectively requires careful planning and preparation, as well as a solid understanding of your existing information architecture. Organizations also need to be aware of the potential for sprawl, as the explosion of content creation stemming from access to Copilot can quickly spiral out of control. Despite these challenges, the benefits of Copilot are clear: greater productivity, better alignment, and faster time-to-market.
- Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A): M&A often result in multiple Microsoft 365 tenants. Consolidating these into a single tenant enhances collaboration, streamlines license management, and reduces administrative overhead. Corporate Restructuring and Reorganization: During restructuring or reorganization, merging multiple tenants into one can help eliminate redundancies, streamline processes, and realign teams, resources, and communication channels. Data Security and Compliance: Consolidating tenants centralizes control over security policies, data access, and compliance measures. This simplifies audits, monitoring, and enforcement of security protocols. Optimization of Resources and Cost Savings: Consolidation can optimize license allocation, eliminate redundant subscriptions, and enable better licensing agreements with Microsoft, leading to significant cost savings. Streamlining Collaboration and Productivity: A unified tenant can foster better communication, data sharing, and teamwork across the organization, driving productivity and innovation. Standardizing IT Processes and Policies: Migrating to a single tenant allows standardization of IT processes, security measures, and governance policies, improving management and support capabilities. Scalability and Flexibility: For rapidly growing companies, migrating to a new, scalable tenant accommodates an increasing number of users, applications, and data while maintaining optimal performance. Optimize Copilot’s Efficiency: Integrating multiple tenants into a single, streamlined environment significantly enhances Copilot’s ability to provide intelligent and context-aware assistance. This consolidation leads to a unified data landscape, which Copilot can leverage to deliver more accurate results. By optimizing Copilot’s efficiency, organizations can ensure that their teams are supported by a robust AI that is fully aligned with their operational dynamics and can scale with their evolving business needs.”
- A tenant-to-tenant migration project has three key phases: pre-migration, execution, and post-migration. The pre-migration phase involves inventorying, planning and identity migration. The execution phase focuses on data migration. Post-migration encompasses user account updates, reconfigurations, and user communication.
- Step 1: Pre-migration planning and assessment Conduct a thorough inventory of data, users, and resources in the source tenant. Identify any custom configurations, domain settings, and third-party integrations. Determine the criticality of data and plan for data clean-up or archiving if necessary. Analyze the number of users, mailboxes, and data volume to choose the appropriate migration approach. Decide on the domain migration process – I.e. will you start releasing the domain to move it to the target tenant or configure some sort of co-existence (“domain sharing”) or leverage 3rd party tools? Communicate to users about planned migration and notify about possible outages, support plan and training options further down the road. Step 2: Set up your target tenant Create the target Microsoft 365 tenant (if it doesn’t already exist). Configure the necessary settings, security, and domains in the target tenant. Identity migration – provision user accounts in the target tenant, usually in disabled state, as you want to avoid having to deal with multiple accounts. Step 3: Prepare source and target tenants Set up proper permissions and administrative access in both source and target tenants for migration. Step 4: Domain configuration Confirm all domain settings and, if needed, update DNS settings to ensure proper domain verification and mail flow during migration. (Steps may vary depending on if you’re using a third-party tool or have set up co-existence etc.) Step 5: Mailbox pre-stage (for larger migrations) Pre-stage mailboxes in the target tenant to reduce the impact on end-users during the final migration.
- Meticulously Inventory Your Data: Understand the total number of individual items rather than just the storage size to estimate migration time accurately. Evaluate Multiple Tenant Migration Tools: Choose a tool that caters to all your needs; different tools have different strengths. SPMT doesn’t currently support tenant-to-tenant SP migration (public preview) Add Buffer Time for Overlooked Inventory: Allocate extra time in your migration timeline for items missed during the pre-migration inventory. Choose the Right Migration Approach: Select an approach based on your pre-migration inventory and organizational needs. Clean Up Your Data Before Migration: Organize and clean your data before migrating to avoid clutter and ensure a smooth migration process.
- Step 6: Data migration Use a reliable third-party migration tool or Microsoft's native migration methods (e.g., Exchange Online PowerShell, SharePoint Migration Tool, etc.) to migrate data between tenants. Migrate mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and other data based on the chosen migration strategy (e.g., staggered or bulk migration). After migration, verify the data integrity in the target tenant to ensure all information is transferred correctly. Step 7: Update user accounts Change user UPNs (User Principal Names) to match the target domain to facilitate a smooth login experience. Step 8: Reconfigure applications and integrations Update any third-party applications or integrations to work with the new target tenant's settings. Step 9: User communication and training Inform users about the migration process, potential changes, and any required actions on their part. Provide training or assistance on using the new Office 365 environment. Step 10: Finalize migration Complete the migration process, ensuring that all data is successfully migrated and verified.
- Best Practice: Pre-instantiate Users to Avoid Business Disruptions Pre-instantiate users in the target tenant when using a rapid switch migration approach, then switch those users over at a predefined time. This approach is useful when moving user identities but be careful not to switch over everything before all other workloads have been migrated into the target tenant. Pre-instantiation means setting up user accounts in the new tenant before moving data, ensuring each piece of data already has an owner in the new tenant, which can help ensure a smoother transition and maintain proper access controls and permissions. Best Practice: Understand the Compliance Aspects of Your Cross-Tenant Migration Do not underestimate the compliance aspects of a tenant-to-tenant migration. Compliance needs might require you to move or retain prolonged access to data in the original tenant, including files protected by sensitivity labels/Information Rights Management (IRM). Neglecting this can risk breaking compliance requirements or losing access to the protected data. Never assume that things will “just work”.
- Post-migration testing Conduct post-migration testing to ensure that all systems, applications, and services are functioning as expected. Clean up old tenant (if necessary) Once migration is confirmed successful, decommission the old tenant or perform any necessary cleanup tasks. Ongoing support and monitoring Provide ongoing support to users in the new tenant and monitor the system for any issues.
- Enhanced Collaboration and Productivity: Tenant consolidation streamlines communication, data sharing, and collaboration across your organization, driving productivity and fostering a culture of collaboration. Optimized Resource Utilization: Migrating to a single tenant optimizes resource allocation, leading to cost savings and improved license management. Centralized Security and Compliance: A unified tenant allows for consistent security protocols, ensuring data protection and compliance with industry regulations. Streamlined Governance and Management: The migration process provides an opportunity to standardize IT governance and management processes across the organization. Seamless User Experience: A single tenant environment offers a seamless user experience, enhancing user satisfaction and reducing the need for additional training. Scalability and Future Readiness: Migrating to a new, scalable tenant prepares your organization for future growth and technological advancements. Improved Data Management and Retention: Tenant consolidation enables the implementation of consistent data management and retention policies. Enhanced Collaboration with External Partners: A single tenant environment facilitates seamless collaboration with external partners, vendors, and clients. Simplified IT Support and Training: A unified Microsoft 365 environment reduces the complexity of IT support and training. Enhanced Copilot efficiency: The consolidation, restructuring and cleanup stemming from a successful migration project leads to increased efficiency when leveraging Copilot
- Migration Scope: Choose a tool that supports comprehensive migration, including mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data.
