The Customer Need
Three wins in one move. | Our client runs over 1,000 Microsoft SharePoint sites and apps. Hurrah! That made this migration a triple opportunity: to reduce hardware, cut costs, and optimize existing processes.
Challenges & Extra Miles
Devil’s in the detail. | In digital projects, the true effort is often only visible once you're in the thick of it - like in heart surgery, complications often show up when you’re deep inside. That’s why a methodical approach is key: assess and define the scope. Knowing nearly all hardware would be removed, we needed full assessments of every SharePoint site. We worked closely with site owners to understand functionality and operational usage - a challenging task. Complex, nested data packages required standardization, and preparing the target environment meant coordinating multiple departments.
Migration-Strategy
Two-phase approach. | Established tools like ShareGate are a big plus—they enable efficient, secure migrations based on proven standards. Legacy systems that were no longer viable or barely used were scrutinized. All other applications were first migrated to SharePoint On-Prem 2016 before their final move to the cloud. All of this happened without interrupting operations.
Technical Solution
Keep it simple. | Data migrations tend to spiral into complexity. But our team is great at breaking down processes and stripping away the noise. That strength paid off. Together with the client, we quickly defined and built the migration path.
Technical Milestones
Conducted test migration runs for iterative quality checks
Built approval workflows in MS Cloud using Power Automate Flows
Implemented flows in MS Power Platform for complexity and security reasons
Big Wins
Solid decision-making foundation. | Informed decisions are the only real ones. We added key metrics that helped light the way - enabling project leads to act fast and make the right calls.
6 TB of data migrated
1.200 site collections moved to the cloud
180 sites deleted, freeing up resources
25 % of the data migrated six months before the deadline
Small Victories
Strengthened innovation capability | No cloud, no progress. That about sums up digital transformation. This move to the cloud was a major milestone for our client—and the foundation for future innovation.
Delivered on time & on budget | We value reliability—and deliver what we promise. The client benefited from a smooth project flow that stayed within the planned budget.
Deepened strategic partnership | Having a trusted partner at the helm when you step out of the control room? Priceless. Trust and transparency were the backbone of this evolving partnership.
