Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this migration project
How did Wedea consolidate multiple Microsoft 365 tenants?
Wedea used Cloudiway's platform to execute a three-phase migration: initial synchronization to replicate data between tenants, final cut-over to transfer domains and resources, and continuous support to help users reconfigure their devices. This approach ensured minimal downtime and zero data loss across all acquired companies.
What are the challenges of consolidating Microsoft 365 tenants after acquisitions?
Key challenges include separating previously integrated cloud systems, consolidating identities across different Entra ID directories, migrating email, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint data, minimizing operational downtime, and ensuring data security during the transfer. Proper planning and specialized migration tools are essential for success.
How long does a multi-tenant Microsoft 365 consolidation take?
The timeline depends on data volume, user count, and complexity. Wedea's three-phase approach included an initial synchronization period that pre-staged most data, allowing the final cutover to be completed quickly with users becoming operational immediately afterward.
What workloads can be migrated in a tenant-to-tenant consolidation?
A comprehensive tenant consolidation includes Exchange Online (mailboxes, calendars, contacts), OneDrive for Business files, Microsoft Teams (channels, chats, files), SharePoint Online sites and documents, and Microsoft Entra ID identities with security groups and permissions.
Why did Wedea become a Cloudiway partner after this migration?
