NEW YORK, February 8, 2024 -- Archive360TM, the Unified Data Governance innovator trusted by enterprises and government agencies worldwide, and KiZAN Technologies, a Microsoft National Solutions Provider with 9 advanced specializations, today announced the completion of a major cloud migration project for a large health services provider. The complex initiative involves an organizational rebranding and the divestiture of a line of business encompassing community-based healthcare, with around 45,000 mailboxes, email archives, and Microsoft TEAMS and SharePoint Online sites. While migrating to a Microsoft 365 tenant and positioning itself for future changes was the top priority, the healthcare provider also leveraged the combined capabilities of KiZAN and Archive360 to avoid costly licensing extensions and ensure a high level of security and compliance.

This project perfectly illustrates both the challenges and benefits of a major cloud migration,” said Robert DeSteno, co-founder and CEO of Archive360. “While every initiative of this kind is a major undertaking, the data at the heart of this healthcare transformation is clearly vital, and highly sensitive. By teaming with KiZAN, which has a proven record of delivering successful IT solutions that fully align with particular business needs, we’re able to meet every challenge and achieve a truly seamless migration. We look forward to working on many such initiatives with the talented team at KiZAN.”

In the case of this migration, the healthcare provider managing the divestment found it difficult to support the existing on-premises email archive system, which also faced licensing issues. Archive360 and KiZAN deployed complementary capabilities to ensure the seamless transition of user and archive content. KiZAN applied its expertise planning and executing migration to a Microsoft 365 tenant, while Archive360's advanced technology was used to manage and safeguard critical data within the cloud environment.

In the modern enterprise, no technology functions in a vacuum. but it’s equally important to develop the right partnership,” said Justin Kobel, solution architect at KiZAN. “Just as our singular focus is to lead the market in offering strategic solutions that solve complex business issues with exclusively Microsoft technologies, Archive360 excels at ensuring that all data meets all compliance requirements without compromising on secure accessibility. We’re thrilled to work with Archive360 on this vital projection, and we look forward to more.”
