User Lifecycle Automation: CoreView to Adaxes Migration
Client Industry: Manufacturing
Client Environment: Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory
The Problem/Opportunity
A Manufacturing niche company contacted us for our services to enhance their HR operational efficiency. They wanted to significantly reduce their administrative overhead by replacing CoreView with Adaxes. CoreView was their then existing Office 365 management tool . Their primary goal was to adopt Adaxes and unify their Office 365 and Active Directory management in a single, streamlined platform. They wanted to preserve essential automation capabilities and administrative effectiveness.
The WME Solution
We achieved these objectives by providing a comprehensive migration from CoreView to Adaxes.
We focused on:
- Unified Platform Integration
We successfully migrated all functionalities i.e. user management, reporting, automation, etc. from CoreView into Adaxes. We delivered a single, cohesive platform for managing their O365 and AD environment.
- Stakeholder Alignment
We conducted targeted demonstrations and provided them with some detailed comparisons between CoreView and Adaxes to secure stakeholder buy-in. We emphasized functional equivalence of Adaxes and highlighted any additional benefits i.e. enhanced automation capabilities, simplified management, etc.
- Efficient Transition
We ensured a smooth migration with minimal disruption. We leveraged planning, rigorous testing, comprehensive feature parity validation, etc.
Expected Outcomes
- We achieved for them significant cost savings by eliminating CoreView. We consolidated management tools into the Adaxes platform.
- Enhanced automation resulting in improved efficiency across Office 365 administrative processes.
- Reduced operational complexity by minimizing reliance on multiple third-party tools, streamlining overall IT management.
Lessons Learned
- We realized the critical importance of clearly communicating the specific benefits of transitioning to a new management solution in achieving stakeholder alignment and support.
- We learned that things like comprehensive planning and rigorous testing are essential when replacing deeply integrated third party tools. You always need to double check continuity and full functionality in the post migration environment.
