Office 365 Tenancy Considerations

I have been receiving a lot of questions lately around Office 365 tenancy.

My simple answer is:
  • Multiple tenants are ok, and are completely necessary for complex organizations.
  • It is best to plan out tenancy as best as you can up front to avoid merging or divesting tenants only when necessary.
  • Microsoft is investing in building solutions for complex organizations such that multiple tenants can work with each other in a B2B relationship.
Here is a great video on the futures for cross tenant collaboration - 

Here is a poster on tenant-to-tenant migration scenarios you should be thinking about -
