There are a variety of reasons why businesses undergo the process of AD migrations:

Starting over

Sometimes called clean slate or greenfield migrations, these are a practical choice when Active Directory has undergone so many upgrades and changes that it’s no longer fit for purpose.

Divestitures

When part of an organisation is sold off or divested, this element of the business needs to be migrated out of the current Active Directory.

Mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions often lead to a period of coexistence before the new organisations settle on a centralised IT policy. The new policy may involve a fresh start (called a greenfield AD) or the combination of multiple users and computers into the most appropriate AD.

How it works

Here’s a brief outline of the process of working with us:

We start with arranging a scoping call with your key stakeholders to establish the size of the project and the likely amount of work involved.
We follow up our scoping call with a cost estimate for the project.
Once you’ve approved our estimate, we book a discovery workshop to find out more about your challenge, and what you’re hoping to achieve.
We provide you with a detailed statement of work, based on your aims and goals.
We then focus on planning, scheduling, setup and configuration, keeping open communication with your in-house IT professionals throughout the process.
We're tool-agnostic and select the best fit for your environment - including PowerSyncPro, AvePoint, BitTitan and Sharegate. All tooling meets enterprise security requirements, and we'll recommend the right stack during your scoping call.
