Hi Arun,
It looks like there are probably several guides you would need to involve and draw upon for information to end up at a design. I am going to assume that you are running a F5 licensed with LTM and APM, and version of at least 11.3.0.
The most common scenario I can think of is to use APM's single-sign-on capabilities using SAML to federate with your organization and Office 365. Luckily, there is an iApp that provides such functionality built into current versions of BIGIP. You can get more information here. https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iapp.BIG-IP-APM-as-SAML-2-0-IdP-for-Microsoft-Office-365.ashx The zip file on that page contains the iApp needed as well as a deployment guide to assist with installation of the IdP that will allow federation with O365.
Also, there is a tool provided by Microsoft that can probably help with some of the architectural decisions called "Exchange Server Deployment Assistant". http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/06/10/exchange-server-deployment-assistant-update-for-exchange-2010-and-office-365-coexistence.aspx
