  • Assign proper RBAC roles and permissions for IT support teams.
  • Integrate Remote Help with Conditional Access and compliance configurations.
  • Provide documentation and best practices for secure and effective use of Remote Help.

Application & Resource Access

  • Reconfigure access to SaaS and internal applications through Entra ID SSO.
  • Ensure seamless access to file shares, printers, and other corporate resources post-migration.
  • Note: All on-premise print servers will be decommissioned.

Testing, Validation & Stabilization

  • Conduct pilot testing with a subset of users and devices.
  • Validate identity, access, device compliance, and Remote Help functionality.
  • Troubleshoot, resolve issues, and optimize configurations.

Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

  • Deliver complete technical documentation for architecture, configuration, and operational processes.
  • Provide training and handover to internal IT teams.
  • Support post-migration stabilization for a defined period.
