Get the guidance you need from experts in technology integration.
When an organization undergoes a merger, acquisition or divestiture, many technological elements need to be considered to ensure everyone involved can work together (or separately) without sacrificing necessary systems or tooling. Oftentimes, this means more than migrating mailboxes. The organization has to consider elements such as its Azure tenant, data platforms, applications, ERP systems, and more.
As a top-tier Microsoft partner with extensive experience in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures — both with customers and in our own organization — we understand how to minimize business disruption while bringing technology together effectively.
Here are a few focus areas that we encourage you to consider as you set out on your journey:
Microsoft 365 Tenant-to-Tenant Migration
Likely the first area you look to integrate will revolve around day-to-day tools, such as email, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, etc. When planning, managing, and implementing a Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration, it’s important to take into account identity management, workload migration, and change management.
Quisitive helps customers accomplish this by providing a holistic solution, including an assessment, planning and readiness validation for existing tenants, and full migration and support services.
Microsoft Azure Migration
In addition to a Microsoft 365 migration, you will also likely need to consider an Azure migration of some kind. Whether it is moving a newly acquired organization into Azure for the first time, bringing two existing environments together, or removing access for users no longer within the organization, Quisitive can help.
Through our years of experience in moving organizations to Azure, Quisitive has gained a deep understanding of what is necessary to deliver successful cloud migrations in environments of all sizes and complexities.
ERP Integration
Without considering the impact of your acquisition or merger on the businesses’ ERP systems, your organization will run into a number of operational challenges. It’s likely going to involve more than simply integrating systems.
Quisitive takes the guesswork out ERP integration and provides consultative services that begin with understanding your business needs. We offer up multiple solutions to choose from, then handle the heavy lifting of migration and implementation so you can keep your team focused on daily operations.
Microsoft Licensing Management
Companies that engage in mergers and acquisitions should take licensing optimization into consideration when performing their due diligence.
Quisitive’s Microsoft Licensing Management Program can help you accelerate your go-to-market plan with not only the ongoing support and management that your company needs but also with licensing optimization across Azure, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
