Cloud Strategy – Mergers, Acquisitions & Divestitures

Hybrid Migration

Cloud to Cloud

On-Premise to Cloud

A well-defined cloud strategy provides your organization with a clear roadmap to maximize the benefits of cloud computing—while minimizing risks, avoiding costly missteps, and ensuring long-term scalability and success.

As a starting point for a cloud strategy, Microsoft’s identity solutions span on-premises and cloud-based capabilities. These solutions create a common user identity for authentication and authorization to all resources, regardless of location. Understanding access requirements are critical for a strong strategy.

By assessing current Microsoft investments; costs, risks, and advantages and applying proven best practices, long term strategies in cloud technology becomes clear. CSG works with clients using business processes and technical experience to identify, optimize, and document opportunities, ensuring active client involvement and targeted results. CSG is available to discuss these possibilities.

Our Services

AD/AAD/Entra AD

Optimizing access begins with an assessment of the organization's Active Directory.
Microsoft provides three access scenarios, each with specific security considerations: 1)
on-premises Active Directory, 2) hybrid environments using both on-premises and cloud
through Azure Active Directory (AAD/Entra), and 3) fully cloud-based access. Choosing
among these options can involve various complexities. CSG has worked with clients
during cloud transitions, environment streamlining, and growth management from
mergers and acquisitions. Due to changes in Active Directory and Azure Active
Directory, Microsoft now refers to cloud-based access as Entra. CSG has experience
with AD, AAD, and Entra for access management.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

One of our premier services —mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures (MAD)—involves
both opportunities and challenges. Integrating multiple businesses within a single
organization can be hindered by technical issues, security concerns, and integration
complexities. IT staff may encounter difficulties when consolidating access, security,
tenants, and device integrations due to their complexity. CSG provides support for these
types of transitions.

We have decades of experience helping clients navigate the technology challenges that come with MAD projects. With our assistance you will be free to focus on the other keyareas of MAD like business growth, profitability and employee productivity.
