Ability to merge organizations

We absolutely need the ability to merge organizations much like you would merge users or tickets. It is not uncommon for one of our customers to acquire another customer or for a company with two different business units that had separate purchases to ask us to merge their accounts and manage as one unit. Zendesk does not seem to offer the ability to merge at this level.

One possible (but ugly workaround) is to re-link all users from the disintegrating organization to the surviving organization and then either "delete" or somehow mark inactive the account that is being consumed. Zendesk should provide this capability with the full understanding that all activity and history is merged and only one account will survive at the end.

    I'm facing yet another merger among our customers, and I have close to 300 end users across these Orgs, with active tickets. As it stands, we have no clean way of handling this.

    This is a major shortfall, and we are beyond overdue for an update on status here.

    This functionality seems so obvious. Please get this prioritized asap!

    This thread has been open for 6 years there are about 119 comments all seem to be positive and a few comments from ZenDesk. All typically non-committal and of course no action. Thanks ZenDesk for giving us the ability to voice our opinions and thanks again for showing us again and again that your either not listening or dont care what we want or need. Epic fail!
