Migration of Microsoft 365 Tenant from GoDaddy

This case study outlines the migration of a US-based healthcare supply chain organization's Microsoft 365 tenant from a GoDaddy-managed environment to a fully managed Microsoft 365 platform. The migration aimed to regain full ownership and governance over the Microsoft 365 environment, which had been restricted under GoDaddy's federation. The document details the challenges faced, including limited visibility, compliance risks, and the need for specialized expertise to ensure service continuity. Key features of the migration included a zero-downtime production cutover, HIPAA-oriented security modernization, and a multi-layered recovery architecture. The team executed a real-time transition plan, ensuring uninterrupted access for users and implementing advanced security measures post-migration. Comprehensive pre-cutover analysis and risk mitigation strategies were employed to minimize hidden risks. The case study emphasizes the importance of coordinated execution with Microsoft and GoDaddy support to maintain operational continuity throughout the transition.
