Types Of Sharepoint Migrations We Offer

SharePoint Version Upgrade

Moving from the older version of SharePoint (e.g., SharePoint 2010, 2013) to a newer version (e.g., SharePoint 2016, 2019) or to SharePoint Online. Involves updating sites, pages, and libraries to utilize modern SharePoint features, layouts, and capabilities.

On-Premises to SharePoint Online Migration

Migrating from an on-premises SharePoint environment (e.g., SharePoint Server) to SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365. Involves moving content, configurations, and settings to the cloud-based SharePoint service.

SharePoint Online Tenant-to-Tenant Migration

Migrating content and configurations from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another, typically during organizational mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring. Ensures a seamless transition of content, permissions, and settings while maintaining data integrity.

File Share to SharePoint Migration

Moving documents and files stored in file shares or network drives to SharePoint document libraries. Involves mapping file share structure to SharePoint, migrating files, and organizing content within SharePoint.

Third-Party System to SharePoint Migration

Migrating content and data from third-party systems, such as document management systems or other collaboration platforms to SharePoint. Involves data mapping, transformation, and seamless integration into SharePoint.

Hybrid SharePoint Migration

Combining on-premises SharePoint with SharePoint Online, allowing organizations to retain certain content and applications on-premises while utilizing cloud features. Requires synchronization and seamless coexistence between on-premises and cloud environments.

Content Database Migration

Moving content databases from one SharePoint farm to another, within the same version or during version upgrades. Involves detaching databases, moving them to the target farm, and reattaching and upgrading if needed.

Cross-Farm Site Migration

Transferring SharePoint sites or site collections from one farm to another while preserving site structure, content, and configurations. Requires careful planning and execution to maintain site functionality and data relationships.

Assessment
Assessment
We conduct a thorough analysis of the current environment and data to ascertain the scope and requirements of the migration. Our team delves into the existing SharePoint or other data repositories, examining their structure, content, and configurations. We meticulously compile a content inventory encompassing documents, lists, libraries, workflows, and relevant elements. Furthermore, our experts analyze users, roles, and permissions to ensure a seamless access and security settings transition in the new environment.

Planning
We initiate stakeholder engagement to gather valuable input, expectations, and specific migration requirements, forming the basis of our planning. Based on these insights, we define a migration strategy aligning with organizational objectives. This could be a phased migration, a big bang approach, or a hybrid method. Our team thoroughly assesses risks, identifying potential challenges and formulating effective mitigation strategies. We meticulously establish a detailed timeline, roles, responsibilities, and a communication plan to ensure a well-structured and communicated migration process.

Data Mapping and Transformation
In this phase, we meticulously map the source data to SharePoint's corresponding locations and structures. This involves defining metadata and aligning it accurately with the target SharePoint environment. Our experts establish data transformation rules governing data formatting, translation, or reorganization to meet SharePoint requirements. This meticulous phase lays the groundwork for a seamless data transition into the new environment.

During this stage, our team extracts data from the source system and transforms it according to the defined rules and processes. The transformed data is efficiently loaded into SharePoint using appropriate migration tools, ensuring data integrity and completeness. We implement a robust error-handling strategy to effectively address any encountered errors or discrepancies during the migration process, providing a controlled and efficient transition. Our vigilance includes real-time monitoring of migration progress, system performance, and resource utilization, allowing immediate adjustments to optimize migration speed and efficiency.

We have successfully executed numerous SharePoint migrations for various clients, tailoring each migration to specific needs and ensuring a smooth transition to SharePoint environments.

The duration of a SharePoint migration varies based on factors such as the migration scope, complexity, volume of data, and customization requirements. Typically, it can range from a few days for smaller, straightforward migrations to several weeks for large-scale, intricate migrations.

The SharePoint Migration Tool does not automatically delete files. It focuses on migrating content to the target environment. If deletion is needed, it should be managed separately.

The SharePoint Migration Tool primarily moves content from the source to the destination. However, it can be configured to copy content in specific migration scenarios, leaving the source intact. Configuration options are available based on your migration needs.
