reference project Transfer of 24 locations into one
common Data Center

Project:

1700 users and their data are to be transferred from 24 locations to a shared data center. The data sets should and access permissions be consolidated. In the future, authorizations will be set largely automatically using an IAM system. The project duration was 16 months.

• Consolidate domains
• Consolidate data in a domain into a new, global directory structure
• Clean up permissions
• Clean up data structures
• Introduce authorization management

challenges:

• Each location has its own file storage
• User accounts exist twice in domains
• High inventory of legacy data
• No unified human resources management system
• No processes for on-/offboarding, change of personnel

Solution:

• All servers with migRaven.24/7 Analyzer analyzed and freed from old data: 35% of the data was deleted directly
• Active Directory freed from old accounts (ADCleanUP migRaven.24/7 analyzer)
• Dead accounts deleted
• Empty/redundant groups identified
• DataOwner determined for 2100 directories (migRaven.24/7 Owner Score)
• Data transferred to central directory structure, restructured, new authorizations (migRaven.one)

Project duration: 16 months

Tools used:

• migRaven.24/7 Analyzer
• migRaven.one
• link Fixer
• tenfold IAM
