After the formation of Correla as an independently owned business, Xoserve restructured to focus on its core responsibilities and operate with its own processes and IT environment.

The separation enabled Xoserve to operate independently and reduced its reliance on shared infrastructure, systems, and services.

Our goal

CompletetheITInfrastructureSeparationProject.

Nasstar created two secure and clearly separated IT environments. The project gave Xoserve the control and flexibility to operate independently while maintaining business continuity throughout the transition.

The challenges

SharedsystemsandinfrastructurewerelimitingXoserve’sabilitytooperateindependently.

Shared IT infrastructure: Xoserve and Correla operated on the same IT infrastructure and Microsoft 365 tenant.

Business continuity: The separation needed to be completed while ensuring Xoserve could continue to operate effectively, with uninterrupted access to critical systems and data.

A large-scale data migration: The project involved transferring significant volumes of data across multiple platforms. It required careful planning to protect data integrity and minimise risk.

Security and compliance: Moving to separate environments required strong data protection measures and secure access controls throughout the transition.

Organisational change: As Xoserve restructured to focus on its core role, the IT separation needed to align with new processes and ways of working.

Our solution

The IT infrastructure separation has allowed Xoserve to operate independently. The organisation can now focus on growth without infrastructure limitations.

01

To ensure all requirements were clearly understood and data protection procedures were in place, Nasstar engaged in a thorough consultation process before the project began. This allowed Nasstar to gain a deep understanding of the organisation’s goals while providing clear expectations for the project’s scope and delivery.
