Software Companies Merge in the Office 365 Cloud
Binary Tree enabled us to quickly operate as one company and brand by merging our users, identities, and Office 365 tenants into a unified environment.
Smarsh and Actiance, makers of archiving and compliance software, entered a merger with each company having existing Active Directory domains and Office 365 tenants. The newly formed company needed to migrate the users, identities, and data from the Actiance AD domain and tenant to Smarsh’s AD domain and tenant to unify the combined organization under the Smarsh brand.
As part of the merger, both parties needed to standardize naming conventions for their messaging system domains and addresses. To facilitate the migration and post-integration collaboration, Smarsh selected Binary Tree Migrator Pro by Quest for Active Directory and Migration-as-a-Service for their proven success in automatingpost-merger IT integration projects. Smarsh was able to integrate the Actiance and Smarsh AD environments while merging the Actiance identities into the Smarsh domain. Using the Binary Tree Power365® platform, the company was able to synchronize user mailboxes ahead of the migration date and then cutover the mailboxes to the Smarsh tenant on the planned date.
