An acquisition brings separate systems
You need to align identities, mailboxes, collaboration data, and infrastructure with the parent environment.
Azure Migration & Acquisition Integration
Unify the systems.
Move the business.
Bring identity, collaboration, and infrastructure together through a migration or acquisition integration planned around business continuity.
When to engage IO
Business change.
Connected technology.
For organizations integrating an acquisition, retiring legacy infrastructure, or consolidating fragmented cloud platforms.
Legacy infrastructure is holding you back
You want a practical path from on-premises or co-located systems to an appropriate Azure architecture.
Cloud platforms have become fragmented
You are consolidating Google Workspace, AWS, or other environments into Microsoft 365 and Azure.
What the engagement delivers
Concrete outputs.
A usable next step.
The final scope is agreed around your environment, priorities, and responsibilities.
Environment and dependency review
Assess the systems, users, workloads, data, and operational dependencies included in the project.
Target architecture and transition plan
Define the destination environment, sequencing, ownership, and agreed cutover and recovery approach.
Identity and collaboration integration
Execute the agreed identity, mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, or Google Workspace transition work.
Infrastructure and workload migration
Implement the scoped move or consolidation into Azure, aligned to the target security and operating requirements.
Validation and documented handoff
Check the agreed outcomes and transition the environment with configuration and operating context for your team.
Scope and sequencing depend on user count, source platforms, workloads, data volume, and business constraints. We establish continuity requirements and the transition approach before execution; outcomes from a past engagement are not a downtime guarantee.
How we work
A coordinated path
from plan to handoff.
01
Discover and design
Understand dependencies and establish a target architecture and transition plan.
02
Migrate and integrate
Execute the agreed work across identity, collaboration, and infrastructure in the planned sequence.
03
Validate and transfer
Review the migrated environment and provide the documentation needed for ongoing operations.
Representative engagement / 500 users
Two organizations.
One enterprise environment.
IO integrated a 500-user organization into its parent company's Microsoft environment following an acquisition. The work spanned Microsoft 365 identities, mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and co-located infrastructure moving into Azure, with zero disruption to users in that engagement.
Explore the engagementBefore we begin
Good questions.
Clear expectations.
Do you handle Microsoft 365 as well as Azure?
Yes. The scope can include Microsoft 365 identity and collaboration systems alongside Azure infrastructure, depending on the project.
Can you migrate from Google Workspace or AWS?
IO's experience includes Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migrations and AWS workloads moving into Azure. We assess the source environment and dependencies before defining the migration.
Do we need to replace our current IT provider?
No. IO can execute a targeted engagement alongside your internal IT team or managed service provider and transition the completed work back with documentation.
