What the client wanted

Two tenants, two identity systems, different security levels and countries with their own data residency requirements. Sales could not stop for a day and shared mailboxes and Teams channels with customers had to keep working.

What we did

First cross-tenant synchronisation and B2B collaboration so everyone could find each other in Teams immediately. Then phased cross-tenant mailbox migration per country, OneDrive and SharePoint migration in waves, and Multi-Geo for data residency within the EU and UK. Intune policies harmonised, conditional access standardised and Purview labels rolled out company-wide. A change team per country guided users.
