The Challenge
A global clinical research company was preparing for a $3.3B spin-off. The initiative required complex pre-spin IT separation, including hosting, networking, collaboration tools, and critical data management — all while ensuring compliance, security, and business continuity by Day 1.
Our Approach
- Developed a pre-spin IT separation plan, including infrastructure hosting and networking.
- Executed a Microsoft 365 (M365) separation strategy to segregate collaboration tools and data.
- Built Day 1 readiness plans, including Transition Service Agreements (TSAs) and exit strategies to ensure minimal disruption.
In-depth Details
- Migrated unstructured data from 30,000 Teams sites into 4,000 mapped drives, significantly improving data organization and security.
- Designed and implemented secure networking and hosting environments to support the new standalone entity.
- Managed change and communication planning to prepare stakeholders for Day 1 cutover.
- Established clear TSA agreements and exit plans to minimize operational risk and accelerate independence.
