Client - Two companies in the professional services sector, following a merger

Industry - B2B Services

Combined Number of Users - Approximately 60

The Situation

Following a strategic acquisition, our client found themselves managing two operational entities — each with its own IT environment:

  • Two separate on-premise servers
  • Redundant software licenses
  • Disconnected Office suites and collaboration tools
  • No unified visibility or access control across the organization

This fragmentation created integration challenges, slowed productivity, and inflated operational costs.

The Nexxo Intervention

Nexxo partnered with the IT teams and leadership of both companies to deliver a full migration, infrastructure unification, and software optimization strategy.

Our solution included:

  • Migrating to a single Office 365 environment for the entire group — including SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, and Teams
  • Auditing all software in use to eliminate overlap and reduce licensing costs
  • Centralizing all critical data in one secure cloud environment
  • Standardizing user access with unified identity management and permissions
  • Supporting the change management process for both technical staff and end users

Tangible Results

Unified IT environment in just 3 weeks
Increased productivity via centralized collaboration tools
27% reduction in software licensing costs
Improved security through single policy management
Stronger collaboration between newly merged teams

What the Client Said

"This merger could’ve been a tech nightmare. With Nexxo, it was smooth, fast, and now our infrastructure is stronger than ever."
CFO, Merged Group
