Regional Financial Institution
Financial Services • 850 employees • East Coast
Challenge
A regional financial institution needed to merge two SharePoint tenants following a major acquisition. The migration involved 6.5 TB of highly sensitive financial data, 850 user mailboxes, and strict compliance requirements including SOC 2, FINRA, and GDPR.
Key challenges included:
- Zero tolerance for data loss or security breaches
- Complex permission structures across 75 SharePoint sites
- Minimal downtime requirement (less than 4 hours)
- Regulatory compliance and audit trail requirements
- Integration with existing identity management systems
Solution
MigroStack implemented a phased migration approach using delta sync technology to ensure zero downtime. The solution included:
- Pre-migration validation: Automated scanning identified and resolved 180+ potential issues before migration
- Intelligent user mapping: AI-powered matching automatically mapped 98% of users between tenants
- Incremental migration: Delta sync kept data synchronized while users continued working
- Security compliance: Bank-level AES-256 encryption with complete audit logs
- Dedicated support: 24/7 migration engineer on standby throughout the project

The migration was completed 2 days ahead of schedule with exceptional results:
- ✓ 6.5 TB of data migrated in 36 hours
- ✓ 99.8% success rate (only 18 items required manual intervention)
