Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Intelogy is one of a handful of partners for Orchestry within the UK. Our consultants will engage with your key stakeholders to discuss your classification and configure it appropriately.
This is conducted mostly via a half day remote workshop but if local to London or South East, pandemic conditions allowing, can be done on-site.
If you need more support Intelogy provide Orchestry design and build services (see Cloud Support services). - Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
-
- HTML
- End-of-contract data extraction
- If the subscription is not renewed, the customer stops having access to the features provided by Orchestry (e.g., workspace provisioning). Importantly, your data will still remain accessible in your tenancy and because Orchestry manages and provisions native Microsoft365 objects, these will remain fully functional after uninstallation and therefore there is no off-boarding required.
- End-of-contract process
- If the customer chooses not to renew their licence, there are documented steps on how to remove the solution from their environment. All customer data is stored on their own tenancy and therefore, if the customer does not renew Orchestry licences (but retains their Office 365 tenancy) all data remains under customer control. i.e., there is no off-boarding required.

Scaling

-
Orchestry infrastructure is built with regional redundancy as well as intelligent throttling to ensure that services are not overwhelmed.

Fighting climate changeFighting climate change
As well as encouraging less travel to work and use of physical consumables (like paper), the main way that our cloud services can help reduce carbon emissions is by lowering the energy consumption of IT infrastructure. According to a study by Microsoft, cloud computing can reduce the energy use and carbon footprint of IT operations by up to 93% compared to traditional on-premises data centres. This is because cloud providers can optimize the utilisation of their servers, use more efficient cooling systems, and leverage renewable energy sources. By contrast, on-premises data centres often have low utilization rates, inefficient cooling systems, and rely on fossil fuels for power generation. By moving to the cloud, businesses and individuals can save energy and reduce their environmental impact.
