SharePoint Migration Solutions

Any SharePoint Migration calls for meticulous planning in order to minimize time, effort and the cost of migration. Even before you start your SharePoint migration, you need to analyze and understand the costs of storage, distinguish content that qualify for migration from those that don’t, identify users that need to own, share and collaborate content with others etc. Factors such as the nature of the source content, the size of Sites, Lists and libraries, the number of users, complexities of documents and their metadata, document versions, presence of special characters and so on, need to be studied carefully in order to come up with an overall plan that contains timelines, setting up a team, managing resources and evaluation of third-party solutions.In addition, if you are planning to migrate to the cloud, that is, migrate to Office 365, there are challenges that are unique to moving content into the cloud – doesn’t matter whether you are migrating content from SharePoint on-premises or from other sources such as File Shares and document management systems to Office 365. Your Office 365 migration plan must also take into account the license plans that you have acquired for Office 365, the number of different users for the different plans, the term and life of your document repositories in Office 365 and so on.There are also other challenges related to the actual migration itself. Here is a partial list of some of these challenges.
