Cross-Tenant Synchronization in Microsoft 365: What It Is and How to Set It Up
Introduction: What Is Cross-Tenant Synchronization?
Cross-tenant synchronization (CTS) is a feature of Microsoft 365 that allows users in different organizations to share data, documents, and applications. It allows users in different organizations to collaborate and access resources that are hosted in one another’s environments. With CTS, users can access resources in different organizations without having to log in to each organization’s environment. This helps to streamline collaboration and reduce the need for multiple logins.
What Are the Benefits of Cross-Tenant Synchronization?
Cross-tenant synchronization offers many benefits to Microsoft 365 users. It allows users in different organizations to share data, documents, and applications without having to log in to each organization’s environment. This helps to streamline collaboration and reduce the need for multiple logins. Additionally, CTS provides secure, encrypted connections between organizations, helping to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. Furthermore, CTS can help to reduce costs associated with data management and storage, as data can be stored in one organization’s environment and accessed from another.
How to Set Up Cross-Tenant Synchronization in Microsoft 365
Setting up CTS in Microsoft 365 is a straightforward process. The first step is to configure a service connection point (SCP) in both the source and destination organizations. This will allow the two organizations to securely exchange data. Next, create a synchronization relationship between the two organizations. This relationship will allow the two organizations to share data. Finally, configure the synchronization settings. This will allow the two organizations to control which data is shared, how it is shared, and how often it is synchronized.
Conclusion
Cross-tenant synchronization is a powerful feature of Microsoft 365 that allows users in different organizations to securely share data, documents, and applications. By setting up CTS, users can access resources in different organizations without having to log in to each organization’s environment, reducing the need for multiple logins and streamlining collaboration. Additionally, CTS can help to reduce costs associated with data management and storage, as data can be stored in one organization’s environment and accessed from another.
