And that in itself can make for a fairly complex and time-consuming project. But it’s not enough to assure effective outcomes for the organizations involved. Before embarking on a migration project to move new users to your organization, it’s important to first ask why the merger or acquisition agreement was forged in the first place. The answer will be unique to each specific deal, but usually it’s not just about moving data or applications. It’s vital to preserve the value of the company being acquired, and that value includes things like human productivity, innovation, knowledge, intellectual property, and access to customers and markets. You can’t afford to lose any of this in a clumsy migration. A good place to start is by thinking about what the employees at the acquired organization are going through. Even if they think the acquisition is a good idea, it’s natural for them to feel anxious about how it will impact their jobs. If the companies were once fierce competitors, or if they had a David versus Goliath relationship, employees will naturally have suspicions about what’s coming next. Your internal IT team will be key to making a good and lasting impression on your new colleagues. Your actions are going to be watched carefully, and the reality is that frustrated employees have the ability to sabotage a plan both intentionally and unintentionally. With that in mind, let’s look at best practices for delivering a great migration experience in an M&A scenario. Go Beyond the Tech MigrationWiz is preferred by internal IT teams and MSPs to execute M&A migrations for a long list of reasons, including flexibility, customizability, and ease of use. But a reliable migration tool is only one element of a successful integration. Win your M&A migration with these tips: Don’t over promise. Be realistic about what the project entails and what’s expected of those involved. Stay tuned to the needs and emotions of the people you’re impacting – after all, they’re about to become your new colleagues. If something needs extra attention, give it that extra attention. Get to know the people who know. Develop a relationship as soon as possible with the other company’s internal IT team, especially those who will be part of the combined organization. If they’re unfamiliar with MigrationWiz, give them time to come up to speed using the BitTitan library of How-To tutorials. Listen first. Build in a thorough discovery phase. You need to understand not only the structure of the environment you’re moving, but any business processes that will impact timing. And don’t just walk away after collecting what you need. Set up a mechanism for employees to provide input throughout the project. Get help. Many MSPs and IT consultants have developed M&A expertise. These firms can provide vital assistance, and MigrationWiz allows for multiple users to oversee a project, so you’ll never feel like you’re out of the loop. Be humble. There will be things you don’t know, but you can learn. If your organization has acquired a company that serves a different market, be aware of regional differences that can impact your plans. This could include different work practices and customs, or laws like GDPR. Let leaders lead. Consider structuring your migration project in phases and bring over a core group of users before moving the remaining employees. For example, get department heads and power users set up in their new environment so they can function as ambassadors during the rest of the project. Leaders within the organization can also be crucial for emphasizing key messages in their team meetings. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Use familiar channels to communicate to impacted employees before, during, and after the migration. Your communication plan should consist of easy-to-follow messages delivered at the right time and repeated often. Provide users with an intranet portal where they can access information, schedules, and training modules. Keep in mind that your company may have ways of communicating that are different from those of the acquired company. Educate. If your new colleagues will be encountering a new platform (like a move from Google Workspace to Microsoft Teams), new applications, or a change in file structure, be sure you provide training so they can be productive on day one. Even something as basic as a new email retention policy should be carefully explained to avoid surprises when it appears as if emails are randomly disappearing Align policies. Make sure new colleagues understand and agree to your IT governance policies. Since there will be a lot to think about in the course of a merger, it can be helpful to develop a summary page that explains the differences in policies. In the same way that employee onboarding helps new team members start out on the right foot, a positive and well-planned migration experience during a merger or acquisition can make a big difference in how the change is perceived. Employees who feel heard and understood are more likely to come away with an impression that their new employer cares about them. MigrationWiz helps by streamlining the migration process so you can focus on providing an excellent user experience. With lots of options for fine-tuning your migration, as well as easy-to-read status reports, you can use MigrationWiz to quickly integrate new colleagues into your organization.

And that may have been fine before remote work and learning became necessary. While there were once good reasons for companies or universities to maintain multiple network tenants, many of those justifications have fallen away as technical and operational factors have evolved. IT teams have now moved to the cloud, and they’re consolidating cloud environments for a number of reasons Reduced complexity. Organizations are gaining operational efficiency by eliminating redundant processes, overlapping resources, and administrative overhead. They’re also negotiating better terms and discounts with their cloud provider based on usage volumes. Integration and interoperability. A consolidated cloud environment supports a vibrant work or educational community where people can more easily communicate and share resources, writings, and ideas. Employees, Students, faculty, and researchers are attracted to institutions that offer modern resources and access without barriers. Governance, security, and compliance. IT teams are moving towards unified security policies, controls, and threat monitoring as well as IT governance with consistent policies. This helps the institution adhere to regulatory requirements and ensure data sovereignty. The shift towards consolidating cloud tenants reflects a strategic approach to harnessing the benefits of cloud computing while removing the complexities of working across multiple environments. Streamlining Cloud Consolidation Every business or school is unique in character and mission. Each will also be at a different place in their cloud strategy. In order to reap the benefits of consolidated cloud tenants, organizations are taking a strategic approach: Assessment and planning. Evaluate the current state of cloud usage across the institution in order to develop or refine your consolidation strategy. Identify which tenants, accounts, subscriptions, and resources will be involved in order to clarify the goals, timelines, and the scope of the project. Careful assessment and planning will help you determine which cloud providers match your needs. Migration and integration. MigrationWiz can handle nearly all of the workloads you need to migrate, between a wide range of sources and destinations. If your team is new to data migration, BitTitan offers tutorials, documentation, and support that will turn them into pros in no time. Security and governance. In a consolidated environment, you can implement unified security policies and access controls by managing permissions centrally. Cybersecurity best practices recommend setting roles with the fewest permissions necessary in order to reduce vulnerabilities. Centralized security limits the number of highly privileged global administrator positions, giving you more control. Training and support. In the interest of consistency, it’s often necessary for some users to change to a new platform. This idea is not always greeted with enthusiasm. Your transition plan should include communications before, during, and after the transition to explain why the change is happening and the benefits. Be sure to provide training that will help affected employees or students, get the most out of the new platform. BitTitan can provide advice and case studies for this step. Monitoring and management. Set up monitoring tools and management processes to oversee your consolidated cloud resources. This includes monitoring performance, usage patterns, and costs so you can continue to optimize the environment and identify issues promptly. At least one thing businesses and universities have learned during these “exciting” times is that change will be constant. Just as IT teams had to react immediately to remote working or learning, there will continue to be surprises on the horizon. Careful planning will help create an environment that’s flexible enough for whatever the future holds. With MigrationWiz in your toolkit, and BitTitan as a technology partner, continuous optimization of your cloud environment will help you meet the needs of all your employees or students.
