Velocity Technology Group (VTG) has launched its Migration Factory, a repeatable service designed to help organisations consolidate or split Microsoft 365 tenants and Active Directory (AD) domains with minimal disruption, particularly during acquisitions, divestments, unbundlings, and operating model changes.
“Merging or splitting Microsoft tenants and Active Directory domains is one of the most operationally sensitive changes an organisation can undertake, especially when there is a deal timeline involved,” said Jonathan Kropf, CEO of Velocity Technology Group. “Migration Factory is a repeatable approach we’ve built to reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and keep the business running while identity, collaboration, and security are restructured.”
Tenant and domain consolidation or separation can be complex, with organisations often facing hurdles around data migration, application dependencies, security concerns, and ensuring continuity for end users. VTG’s Migration Factory combines industry-standard tooling with VTG proprietary intellectual property to deliver tailored, repeatable outcomes across varied environments.
“Our focus is predictability and control,” says Graham Elston, group chief technology officer of Velocity Technology Group. “We start with a clear baseline of Active Directory security, compliance and health, then move in planned waves across Microsoft 365 and domain dependencies. That’s how we minimise disruption and strengthen governance as we go.”
Migration Factory is also designed to support financial sponsors such as private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds, and investment holding groups, where value creation depends on executing integrations and separations repeatedly across a portfolio. VTG works with sponsor operating partners and value creation teams to standardise a repeatable migration playbook, helping portfolio companies move faster through post-deal integration, reduce identity and collaboration sprawl, and improve governance and security control at scale.
“Sponsors face a recurring challenge across their portfolios: inherited tenants, duplicated identity estates, and inconsistent access models that slow integration and increase risk,” says Kropf. “Migration Factory brings a consistent method sponsors can rely on, so each integration or separation is faster, more predictable, and more secure.”
Migration Factory delivers the following:
- Active Directory Assessment Service to help organisations understand security, compliance and overall system health, including identification of unauthorised access indicators and privilege or group membership issues.
- Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migrations, including Exchange Online, calendars, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, and other services.
- Server and application migration across domains, covering user accounts, servers (virtual or physical), file shares, and applications, delivered with minimal disruption.
- Security and compliance alignment integrated throughout the plan and execution, not bolted on at the end.
