How Atlassian consolidated Google Workspace after acquiring Loom
What should we plan before starting a merger or acquisition migration?
Before migrating, assess the users, data, permissions, and services that need to move into the destination environment. Identify duplicate accounts, inactive users, and legacy data that can be archived rather than migrated. It is also important to understand how shared files, groups, and permissions are structured, since these often create dependencies that need to be addressed before migration begins.
Can we consolidate multiple Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environments?
Yes. CloudM helps organizations consolidate users, data, and services following a merger or acquisition. Whether you are combining multiple Microsoft 365 tenants, Google Workspace environments, or migrating between platforms, CloudM provides the tools and expertise to simplify the process while minimizing disruption to end users.
How do you keep the business running during a migration?
Careful planning helps minimize disruption during a migration. Organizations often use phased migration approaches, pilot groups, and staged cutovers to reduce risk and keep business running. CloudM also supports delta migrations, allowing changes made during the migration window to be captured and migrated before go-live.
What happens to permissions when only some users are migrating?
Permissions and group memberships are one of the most common challenges in post-acquisition migrations. Shared files, folders, and groups often span multiple users and departments, creating dependencies that need to be planned carefully. CloudM allows you to map and recreate groups in the destination environment before migration, helping ensure users have the right access from day one.
What needs to happen after the migration finishes?
After migration, validate that users can access the files, emails, and services they need, and confirm permissions have been applied correctly. Many organizations also use this stage to standardize policies, remove duplicate data, and complete the integration of acquired users into the destination environment.
Should we migrate everything or archive and review accounts first?
A merger or acquisition is often the ideal time to review inactive accounts, legacy files, and historical data. Archiving unnecessary data can reduce migration volumes, lower license costs, and simplify management of the combined environment, while still retaining information for compliance and audit purposes.
