Offboarding and Exit Strategy

Offboarding and Exit Strategy

Offboarding, Exit Strategy, and related questions concern handing over the control of the data to the Tenant.

By design, all data of a Tenant will be processed and stored in a Workspace within one or more Azure subscriptions of the Tenant. myDRE functionality requires that the control of those Azure subscriptions be handed over to anDREa BV. Practically this means that one or more Azure subscriptions of the Tenant will be associated with the anDREa AAD.

The whole process of creating a new subscription and handing the control over to anDREa BV is done in a one-hour online session; mostly waiting for Azure to complete certain processes. The Tenant will be and continues to be the legal owner of those subscriptions. Illustrated by the fact that all Microsoft Azure consumption that will take place in those subscriptions will be billed directly to the Tenant by the party with whom the Tenant has a Microsoft Azure contract.

If the Tenant wants to take 'back' full control of one or more of the Tenant's subscriptions, all that is needed is to engage in one of three options.

Three options to offboard one or more Azure Subscriptions
  1. Request anDREa to offboard quick and dirty:
    1. have an approximately one-hour meeting in which those subscriptions will be associated with the Tenant AAD
  2. Request anDREa to off board cleanly
    1. ask to remove all myDRE related services within the subscription (approximately half a day per subscription)
    2. have an approximately one-hour meeting in which those subscriptions will be associated with the Tenant AAD
  3. Instruct your Microsoft Azure provider to move the subscription(s) back under your control
    1. no collaboration of anDREa is needed
The result of either option is:
  1. Tenant has full control over all the resources, this includes but is not limited to the storage accounts and VMs
  2. Tenant can assign and associate the above Azure resources to users using their own policies and solutions
    1. Without assigning users, no user can interact with the VM or access a storage account
