  Aug 18, 202625 min

  Moving away from GoDaddy Microsoft 365 sounds like a migration project. In reality, it’s a defederation one. In this episode of Demystifying Microsoft, Lindsay Cowan, Senior Sales and Business Development Manager at the Sourcepass Center of Excellence for Microsoft makes one thing clear: removing GoDaddy’s authentication and management layer while leaving the underlying Microsoft tenant, mailboxes and data in place is the real task at hand. Nathan and Lindsay also break down when organizations tend to outgrow GoDaddy, how to sequence a defederation without creating licensing problems and why security hardening after the change matters just as much as the defederation itself.
