Migrations

Migrations to the Microsoft platform

Identity, productivity, security, data, infrastructure, and desktops. We map the work first, move it in waves, and keep a rollback path ready at each step.

What we migrate

Inviso migrates six areas of your estate onto the Microsoft platform and we meet you wherever you're coming from.

Identity from Google Cloud Identity, Okta, or Active Directory to Microsoft Entra

Productivity from Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Box, or Dropbox to Microsoft 365

Security from CrowdStrike, Splunk, and standalone SIEM/EDR tools onto the Microsoft security platform

Virtual desktops from Citrix, Omnissa Horizon, or legacy VDI to Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop

Cloud infrastructure from AWS, Google Cloud, VMware, or an on-premises datacenter to Azure

Data & analytics from Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Synapse, dbt, or Airflow to Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks

Why this is coming up now 

Most migrations start with a trigger. The pressure usually comes from one of four places — and the first step is working out which.

Cost

  • A renewal quote that forces a decision
  • Entitlements you may already own
  • A data-platform bill climbing every quarter
  • Paying two vendors to move the same data

Risk

  • A security questionnaire the current stack can't satisfy
  • Two identity systems doubling attack surface and admin work
  • Audit or compliance pressure

Growth

  • Sprawl across tools, data, and infrastructure
  • Separate admin models and security postures
  • Renewal dates nobody chose
  • A stack that can't answer a customer's question

AI readiness

  • Copilot needs governed data to be useful
  • Agents inherit whatever security posture the estate has
  • You want an identity model you can extend, not rebuild

Which move are you facing? 

These are not equal paths. Identity is the control plane — until access and policy are consolidated, the value of everything else stays partly locked. It's usually where we start.

You’re running two identity systems because you grew into the second one, not because you chose it. Every app you add has to be wired into both, and every access review happens twice.

You started on the productivity suite that was fastest to stand up. Now enterprise deals are asking security and compliance questions it can’t answer.

Your security stack is a set of point tools bought at different times. Consolidating detection, SIEM, and data protection onto one platform cuts cost and closes the seams attackers use.

Your analytics estate sits apart from the platform your AI strategy runs on, and you’re paying for the gap in egress, integration, and governance. We consolidate where it makes sense. If Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, or Airflow are working for you, they integrate instead of getting replaced.

Your product runs on Azure. The rest of your estate — datacenter remnants, workloads inherited on AWS or GCP — doesn’t, and it’s dragging against the platform you already bet on.

If your VDI renewal quote made you sit down, this one’s for you. The desktop rights you need often already come with your Microsoft licensing.

Keeping your business running during a migration

The hard part isn’t deciding to move. It’s moving a system your business runs on without losing a day of productivity — and for a lot of digital natives, without downtime at all. That’s the whole design of how we work.

Migrations struggle in the in-between: half-moved, paying for two platforms, with teams drifting back to the tools that still work. Our process is built to keep you out of that state.

Three things every migration conversation comes back to — and the reason digital natives choose Inviso:

Avoid disruption

A desktop or productivity move touches every employee on day one. A data or infrastructure move can be invisible to most of the organization and demanding for a few teams. We scope the plan to the change, not a template.

Support your employees

Role-based training before each wave, floor support on cutover days, and a named point of contact throughout — not a handoff at go-live.

Protect productivity

Waves, coexistence, and tested rollback exist so the business keeps running while the move happens. No wave goes ahead on optimism.

We operate in the in-between

If your strategy means keeping some of what you have — Jamf, a data platform, a tool your team relies on — we support that. The goal is the right estate, not a fully-Microsoft one.
Discovery and dependency mapping — we map what you have, including the parts no one documented.
Wave planning — dependency-aware waves, lowest-risk first.
Coexistence — old and new run side by side until each wave is proven.
Go and no-go gates — criteria agreed before each wave, so cutover is a decision, not a leap.
Tested rollback — reversible until the last wave. Rollback is a tested capability, not a contingency document.
Change management and adoption — executive comms, role-based training before each wave, floor support on cutover days, and adoption monitoring afterward, run by Inviso’s own marketing team. A named point of contact throughout, not a handoff at go-live.

FAQs

Six paths onto the Microsoft platform: identity consolidation to Entra, productivity and collaboration to Microsoft 365, security tooling to the Microsoft platform, data platforms to Fabric and Azure Databricks, datacenter and cloud to Azure, and virtual desktops to Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop. Most engagements combine a few of these, sequenced so identity comes first.

That’s a common starting point, not a problem. We operate in the in-between — half-moved estates, two identity systems, a tenant running alongside the old tools. We map where you are, decide what’s worth finishing, and sequence the rest. You don’t have to unwind what you’ve done to move forward.

Yes. A very common entry point is a tenant you’re paying for but haven’t deployed, sitting next to tools you want to keep, like Jamf. We map how it all fits, roll out what’s ready, and integrate the rest. You don’t have to replace what’s working to get value from what you’ve bought.

Then it says so, in writing. Every assessment produces a do-not-migrate list alongside the migration plan: workloads that should stay where they are, tools worth keeping, and moves that wouldn’t pay for themselves. You keep the assessment either way.

Every wave has go/no-go criteria agreed in advance and a tested rollback to the last stable state. A wave that doesn’t meet its criteria doesn’t proceed, and the business keeps running on what was already working. You’re reversible until the final wave.

It depends on the path and the estate. Strategy sessions run one to two weeks; the assessment runs about three. From there, timelines are driven by the number and complexity of workloads — the assessment gives you a sequenced plan with realistic durations before you commit to the move.

Often, yes. Microsoft co-invests in qualifying migrations, and which pathway applies depends on the scenario and on current programs. The assessment includes an eligibility check, so you’ll know what’s available for your specific move. Talk to your account executive, or ask us and we’ll walk you through it.

Book an assessment. Know what moves, what stays, and what risks to resolve first.

We map your estate, identify the dependencies that could cause problems, and give you a wave plan that names the risks and puts them in order. You keep the output whether or not you move forward with Inviso.
