The Challenge

The divesting organization was unable to support the on-premises email archive system for the acquiring organization. This posed a considerable challenge for the customer, as they required extensive support and licensing for the existing archive platform. To successfully complete the divestiture, they needed KiZAN's expertise to plan and execute the migration to the new Microsoft 365 tenant while ensuring a seamless transition of user and archive content.

The Solution

KiZAN and partner Archive360 developed a comprehensive migration plan for content transfer from the current Microsoft 365 tenant to the new one. Our team facilitated the completion of migration prerequisites, including SharePoint Online, Teams, and Exchange, while supporting and coordinating with the customer's resources responsible for identity, endpoint, and infrastructure.

The Migration Process

The joint effort by KiZAN and Archive360 enabled a seamless migration of the following components to the destination:

• Community Care Active User Mailboxes and OneDrive for Business Sites: We successfully migrated nearly 45,000 mailboxes, ensuring no data was left behind.

• Email Archives: The on-premises email archives were migrated to the destination, preserving valuable historical data for the acquiring organization.

• Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online Sites: All Community Care Teams and SharePoint sites were migrated to the new destination and carefully set to read-only in the source to maintain data integrity.
