Merge Office 365 Tennats

[techie17]

Hi

 

Is it possible from a licencing perspective to merge several school O365 tenants into a single one even if they are not part of a MAT? The schools and college in question are all run by the same senior management team and IT for all 4 sites are run by the same team. Each school has its own AD but i know i could link each site, and use one ADsync.

 

All sites are constant trying to share information and this would make it even easier and a lot of staff travel between sites.

 

Many Thanks

Can't see any issue from a licensing perspective as long as all schools are licensed.

In terms of setting up the new tenant, whats the best way round this? When you setup a tenant for a school, MS verify the establishment in order to get the free licences. We Do have a multi academy trust setup, just no schools in it yet. Would the best thing to do be to setup a new tenant under the MAT name then start to migrate everything? We also have some charity organisations that i would love to start using O365 and i know i can get free O365 licences with TT exchange and these would come under the singe tenant.

That's exactly what I am in the process of doing for our MAT. The Trust already had a tenant and with three domains. Three further Schools will be migrated to the Trust Office tenant over the summer break..
