Supporting technical capability
Check both IT environments before a merger or acquisition.
Review accounts, security controls, data and ownership across both organizations. You receive the findings, open questions and priorities needed to decide whether integration should proceed or wait.
Illustrative sample · supporting capability
Which shared dependency can delay the tenant transition?
- Observation
- Both organizations need continuity while the domain release and target identity mapping remain unapproved.
- Decision
- Plan a staged transition with an explicit domain gate.
- Next action
- Name owners on both sides and record coexistence, approval and user-validation requirements.
This capability can inform the next service. Its inclusion, price and calendar must be agreed in that service’s scope; following the link does not make it included.

When this work applies
- A merger, acquisition, divestiture, or tenant consolidation has a deadline.
- You are about to connect two environments before anyone has reviewed the risk.
- Leadership needs a go or no-go they can defend, not a gut call.
Possible outputs
Outputs to agree in scope
M&A Technology Readiness Pack
A red, amber, green scorecard across identity, security, data, cloud governance, and licensing.
Integration plan
The sequence and dependencies to consolidate safely, before any link is established.
Risk register
The blockers that must be cleared first, each with an owner and a recommendation.
Commercial & delivery basis
The scope and conditions of the work.
Delivery window
This supporting capability has no separate confirmed delivery window. The proposal names its scope and calendar.
Capability scope to confirm
- Readiness scorecard across the due-diligence domains
- Integration plan with dependencies
- Risk register
- Executive readout
Scope assumptions
- A point of contact on each side
Exclusions
- The migration itself, which is scoped and quoted separately
- Fixing the blockers
Required access
- Read-only reviewer roles in both tenants
- High-level inventory of identities, mailboxes, and domains
- A 30-minute kickoff with the M&A lead
Acceptance
The agreed completion standard.
The engagement is complete when the readiness scorecard, integration plan, and risk register are delivered and walked through.
