Case Study: NCG achieves consolidation of eight hybrid AD environments and migration of nearly 3,000 users in just over 12 months with Quest migration solutions

College group consolidates eight hybrid IT environments

NCG, a UK college group with about 2,500 staff and 25,000 learners, faced eight separate hybrid Active Directory environments and multiple Office 365 tenancies from mergers and acquisitions, creating duplicate work, training overhead and inconsistent service delivery—problems made more urgent by the shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using Quest On Demand Migration, Migration Manager for Active Directory and Change Auditor, NCG consolidated the eight environments in just over 12 months, migrating nearly 3,000 staff users and thousands of devices plus Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams; the project delivered a single tenancy with auditing and rollback capabilities, reduced IT overhead and more consistent support for staff and students.
