Context
A global biopharma with the collaboration sprawl to match: Box, Veeva Vault, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint all in active use, and a subsidiary integration on the roadmap that needed everything to converge on a single M365 tenant.
The engagement sat at the PMO level — coordinating multiple vendors, keeping governance and compliance requirements inside the wave plan, and keeping subsidiary users productive through the cutover.
Scope & scale
- 1,500
- Users in subsidiary cutover
- 5
- Source platforms consolidated
- Multi-vendor
- PMO oversight

- Regulated environment
Approach
Assess → Design → Migrate → Adopt, tuned to the compliance posture of the environment.
01 · Assess
Ran a full-estate inventory across Box, Veeva Vault, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint with ShareGate. Mapped ownership and sensitivity down to the site and library level.
02 · Design
Set the target tenant architecture, defined the wave model for the subsidiary cutover, and baked governance and compliance requirements into the wave criteria — not into a separate document nobody reads.
03 · Migrate
Oversaw the Egnyte → SharePoint Online path for a subsidiary and the 1,500-user SharePoint cutover, coordinating multiple delivery vendors and internal IT against the PMO plan.
04 · Adopt
Handed clean tenant configuration and post-cutover runbooks to internal operations; stayed on as PMO escalation for governance questions after go-live.
Outcomes
- 1,500-user SharePoint cutover delivered during a subsidiary integration.
- Five source platforms — Box, Veeva, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint — consolidated into a coherent M365 target.
- Governance and compliance requirements enforced inside the wave criteria, not audited after the fact.
- Multi-vendor delivery held together at the PMO level throughout the program.
