Cloud & Workplace
A secure digital workplace connects identity, device, communication and operations. Sovratis structures Microsoft 365 migrations and workplace modernisation so that security is part of the architecture from the start.
In brief
M365 migration, Exchange Online and Intune as a reliable foundation for a secure digital workplace.
M365 · Exchange Online · Intune · Terraform · Updated
Typical starting point
Where action becomes necessary.
Migration and security concept run as separate projects
Devices, applications and access paths are managed inconsistently
Operational knowledge and configurations live with individual people only
Approach
From assessment to a workable solution.
02
Plan the target architecture
Migration steps, security baseline, responsibilities and transitions are defined transparently.
03
Operate to a standard
Intune, Exchange Online and Microsoft 365 are built with documented baselines and repeatable changes.
Examples from practice
Concrete situations. Comprehensible results.
Unify device management
Starting point
Company-owned and mobile devices are managed with different tools and standards.
Result
Intune brings compliance, configuration and app delivery into one aligned model.
Secure a Microsoft 365 migration
Starting point
Mailboxes and collaboration move to the cloud without inheriting security gaps.
Result
Migration, identity protection, logging and handover are combined in one roadmap.
Case study
What a concrete project looked like.
Retail company with several locations, approx. 600 employees – anonymised, as all Sovratis client relationships are treated confidentially.
Starting point
Outdated Exchange servers, inconsistently managed devices and operational knowledge held by a single person: the migration to Microsoft 365 was overdue but could not endanger day-to-day operations.
Measures implemented
- Joint analysis of identities, mailboxes, devices and dependencies
- Migration roadmap with an integrated security baseline instead of retrofitted protection
- Intune as unified device management with documented compliance baselines
- Documented configuration and targeted knowledge transfer to the internal team
Result
The migration proceeded in predictable steps without interrupting daily business. Devices, identities and mailboxes now follow documented standards – the company is no longer dependent on individuals.
Outcome
What your organisation gains.
A consistent security baseline for the workplace
Predictable migration with clear dependencies
Documented and repeatable configuration
Questions & answers
Frequently asked about workplace.
When should security be considered in a Microsoft 365 migration?+
From the start. Identities, permissions, devices and logging influence the migration sequence and the later operating model.
Can Intune replace existing device management gradually?+
Yes. Depending on the starting point, pilot groups, co-management or clearly scoped device types are sensible transition models.
What role does Terraform play in the Microsoft environment?+
Terraform can make suitable configurations traceable, versionable and repeatable. Not every setting is equally suited to automation.
How is the operational handover prepared?+
With documented standards, responsibilities, change paths and a targeted knowledge transfer to internal teams or existing partners.
