84% of Migration Projects Fail – Getting it Right in SharePoint WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
Migration of unstructured content can be a laborious and time consuming project. Many documents can exist in multiple places at the same time, different revisions of the same document can exist, some documents should be deleted and others should be archived. Documents can reside on file shares, older versions of SharePoint, or other legacy content management systems.
There may be records that were never declared, as well as confidential or private information that will not be identified when migrated. The ability to mass move content is relatively straight forward. However, simply mass moving content will result in the same problem of mismanaged and unorganized content.
Learn how to avoid the typical pitfalls and get it right the first time.
In this webinar Portal Solutions and Concept Searching will address SharePoint migration issues, information architecture and best practices to ensure your migration doesn’t result in the typical project over-runs, post-upgrade production issues and unanticipated down time.
We will explore the strategies to design a taxonomy and metadata schema that will be the basis for information architecture in SharePoint, while understanding the functional planning of how users will interact with the various information elements within the SharePoint environment.
What you will learn about during this session:
• Best practices in defining a SharePoint information architecture
• Aligning the architecture with the business goals
• What is a metadata schema and why it's so important
• How to design a schema aligned to the business and its processes
• How conceptual metadata generation builds a consistent end user experience and decreases migration effort
• Differences between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated SharePoint term store solution
• How to plan, architect and test your migration in an iterative fashion
• Maximize the return on investment from your migration budget
• Automatic migration of content driven by classification of metadata

Tips in migrating to SharePoint 2016 or O365, to avoid a migration headacheMike Maadarani
Migrating data into any platform is a difficult task, especially if you are moving into Office 365. If you are migrating to either SharePoint On-Premise or O365, you will need preparation, good planning, and detailed execution activities are keys to avoid migration nightmare.
This session will help you learn a methodology, adopted based on many previous migration, to help you deliver a successful migration project with happy users. We will learn the steps you need in your pre-migration analysis, migration checklists, post migration support, and any issues you might face during and after completing the migration efforts.
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them. They are sometimes risky and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365 we’ve seen a consistent theme -- organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful, smooth migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this webinar will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
Join Jill Hannemann, Adam Levithan and our special guest Ryan Tully from Metalogix as they:
- Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing SharePoint environment
- Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
- Outline precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online

SharePoint Governance: stories, myths, legends and real lifeToni Frankola
SharePoint governance starts with a 600-page document. At our 30-person company, we need a 40-person SharePoint Governance committee, and nobody can determine why a housekeeper has access to the governance document.
Have you heard this type of statement? We most certainly have. In this session, Toni will bust myths like these by providing a workable approach to SharePoint governance in small and large enterprises. We will talk about setting policies as well as what makes sense and what doesn’t. We will break down the governance plan and examine its pieces. Most importantly, we will talk about implementing these policies based on real-life use cases, where no one reads 600-page documents.
Session highlights:
- Developing a workable governance plan
- Setting realistic governance policies
- Automatizing policies implementation
Migration is a roadblock to moving forward with your SharePoint strategy. Migration is phased, iterative, and error prone. But migration itself is not the goal – an optimized and user-friendly environment is your goal. Beyond the Microsoft-provided overview of how to plan for an upgrade and migration, there is a lot of room for error. This presentation outlines 11 critical strategies for migration planning that no project should move forward without. (based on article published in ECM Connections 11/2/2010) Attendees will walk away with a detailed action plan for their migrations to SharePoint 2010.

Microsoft Teams - The Hub for Teamwork in Office 365David J Rosenthal
Microsoft Teams delivers on four core promises to create a digital workspace for high performing teams.
First, Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork within Office 365. Microsoft Teams solves for the collaboration and communication needs of a diverse workforce. Since preview we have extended the capabilities to include chat, voice and video.
When it comes to chat, Microsoft Teams is fast, fluid, low-overhead, and instantly familiar, making it easier than ever to share information and accelerate decision making.
Since our preview moment, Microsoft Teams has evolved into a complete meetings experience that now includes chat, voice and video. Microsoft Teams will modernize your meetings experience. Before a meeting team members can review conversations, during a meeting teams can share content and hold the meeting using a diverse array of communication mediums including audio conferencing and video. After a meeting team members can review history, access recordings and much more. Microsoft Teams supports private and group meeting capabilities, scheduling capabilities and free/busy calendar availability for team members.
The Office apps and services that people use every day - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, the new Planner task management app, Stream video portal, even Power BI - are all built-in, so people have the information and tools they need right within the context of Microsoft Teams.
Because every group is unique, team members can tailor their workspace to include apps and services for the team and organization. Microsoft Teams allows the ability to customize their workspace with tabs, connectors and bots. For our developer community, we have also created an extensible platform, to enable building apps with a rich set of capabilities to enable higher-performing teams.
Microsoft Teams comes with the enterprise grade security and compliance that you would come to expect from Office 365.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Challenges
1.Plan and prepare for a migration: This involves scanning your source environment, identifying the content to be migrated, mapping the source and target structures, and setting the migration schedule and strategy. You also need to consider the permissions, metadata, and dependencies of your content, as well as the potential impact on your users and business processes
2.Move large data sets without disruptions: This requires choosing the right migration tool that can handle the volume and complexity of your data, as well as the network bandwidth and performance. You also need to monitor the migration progress and troubleshoot any errors or issues that may arise during the process
3.Ensure data migration integrity: This means verifying that the migrated content is accurate, complete, and consistent with the source data, and that no data loss or corruption has occurred. You also need to ensure that the migrated content complies with the security and governance policies of your organization and Microsoft 365
4.Minimize the amount of manual work: This involves automating the migration tasks as much as possible, using scripts, scheduling and so on. 5.Ensure a smooth user experience and minimize downtime: This involves communicating with your users before, during, and after the migration, providing them with clear instructions and expectations, and offering them training and support. You also need to plan for a gradual and phased migration, testing each stage and resolving any issues before moving to the next one, to avoid disrupting the user access and productivity.
Challenges
1. So much change with Microsoft 365 technologies that it's hard to keep up: Microsoft 365 is constantly updating and evolving. Trying to keep up with all the changes and making sure everyone in the company is on board can be a real challenge.
2. Meeting ever-evolving user needs: We're all about tech, and that's great, but it's a race to implement tools to keep work flowing smoothly. And, let's face it, the users' needs are always changing. So, it's a constant challenge to keep everyone happy and productive.
3. Creating content in Microsoft 365 is easier than ever: That’s great! Creating content has become easier with Microsoft 365, especially with the arrival of CoPilot in SharePoint. I mean, we never thought SharePoint look this good or make it so easy for people to create content. But the flip side is, when tons of sites and content start to flood your Microsoft 365 tenant, you’ll have a hard time trying to control it manually. So, easy content creation is also a bit of a double-edged sword for us.
4. Skills gap: The challenge lies in users not fully understanding how to use Microsoft 365 effectively, creating a skills gap within the organization. This issue can be due to a lack of training.
5. Business continuity: Your company's ability to keep the show going, even when things get a little crazy. It's about making sure your operations can run smoothly, even when there are big changes in the work environment, like a sudden shift to remote work due for example or even a merge or acquisition.
6. Balance collaboration with end users: Mutual collaboration between IT and end-users remains a challenge, with predominantly one-sided requests from end-users to IT, limiting the development of a true two-way exchange.
7. Communication and collaboration: When your team has trouble talking to each other or when information is locked away in different departments, it can slow things down.
8. Data compliance: Data is now stored in many places, from cloud services to mobile devices, which makes it challenging to ensure compliance at every point. It's like trying to keep track of dozens of moving pieces, all while making sure they meet complex and often region-specific requirements.
9. Data management: Organizations, especially larger ones, tend to have data scattered all over the place – in different apps and systems. Managing all that becomes a headache.
10. Remote work support: Making sure your team can work from anywhere – whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. Providing the right technology and support to make remote or hybrid work productive is what it's all about.
Impact

End users are confused about what tools to use and when
Microsoft 365 tools are constantly changing
No time for value-added projects
Exposed
End users using tools the wrong way
Hard to find content and decide where to put things
End users resorting to unapproved tools
Unmonitored guests and external sharing
Security risks
Without compromising end-user adoption and empowerment as it hurts productivity

A July 2022 survey of 226 CFOs found that digital acceleration was the top spending priority for CFOs over the next 12 months, with 98% of respondents saying they will protect digital investments and of those, 66% stating they plan to increase their investments in the category.
Digital investments are the spending on technologies that enable digital transformation and innovation in the business. According to the article, digital investments include:
Back-office automation: Technologies that automate repetitive and manual tasks in areas such as accounting, IT services, and procurement. For example, robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing.
Pricing optimization analytics: Technologies that help optimize the pricing strategy and execution based on data and algorithms. For example, dynamic pricing, price elasticity, and customer segmentation.
Digital acceleration: Technologies that enhance the speed and agility of business processes and operations. For example, low-code/no-code platforms, DevOps, and microservices.
QUESTION:How many of you are aware that ShareGate offers more than just a migration tool; that it's a complete Microsoft 365 management solution?
ShareGate's migration tool is powerful and super intuitive, making it a breeze to handle both on-premises and tenant-to-tenant migrations. It's the go-to choice for anyone looking to shift to the cloud. And there’s no data cap to worry about.
We've bundled everything you need for your migration into one pocket-friendly price, covering SharePoint, Teams, Planner, and, coming soon, mailboxes. Get ready, because a public preview of our mailbox migration feature is dropping in January 2024. You can swing by our booth to learn more!
For Avvenire, a Solution provider that uses ShareGate to do nearly all its SharePoint migrations, it’s an easy decision and an excellent return on investment
Avvenire formerly used another SharePoint migration tool but found its lack of reporting capabilities lead to difficult planning and implementation. And then there was the cost. The former tool was expensive to license, putting it beyond the budget of Avvenire’s smaller clients.
The problem wasn’t just the cost of the license, but also its structure. That other tool put a cap on the volume of content that could be migrated per license—so most clients, who started projects without a clear understanding of how much content they needed to migrate, had a hard time accurately anticipating the licensing cost.
Avvenire found that ShareGate addressed these concerns, with its rich reporting capability, lower per-license cost—about 30% lower in their experience—and unrestricted volume on migrations per-license.
Using ShareGate to migrate your users, their permissions, and metadata to SharePoint Online is an easy solution built to simplify complex migrations, with features that allow you to bulk manage metadata and migrate customized metadata.
Creating your user-mapping file
The tool automatically maps all your users and groups with existing users and groups with the same account name in SharePoint Online without considering the domain. you don’t have to worry if you’re migration project involves migrating from a classics-based authentication system to a claim-based system. ShareGate ensures that your users and groups will map correctly regardless of how your tokens are formatted.
Mapping permissions
Unlike the SPMT, when you use ShareGate, any unique permissions you might have are automatically mapped as well so they should be the same as they were at the source. ShareGate also allows the mapping from one type of group to the other type.
Mapping metadata
use ShareGate to copy your metadata at the destination so that it’s there when you start copying your structure and content. Once the action is completed, ShareGate will provide a Migration report that will show you any successes, warnings, or errors with your migration.
After your migration, you may decide you want to make some changes in your metadata, you can use ShareGate to easily export existing SharePoint metadata to an Excel spreadsheet to make changes to all your documents’ metadata. ShareGate even suggests potential metadata that can be applied in bulk using basic Excel formulas.
The job isn't done just because the migration is finished. Now, the IT team's next big task is to put in place and stick to their organization's M365 governance strategy, making sure the newly migrated environment is as safe and hassle-free as they can make it.
Challenges
Lack of visibility into what goes on in your tenant
Who has access to what.
IT ends up being reactive rather than proactive.
Managing Microsoft 365 can be tricky because there's not enough built-in automation. You often need to use PowerShell scripts for tasks, which can be complex and not everyone's skill. You also have to do a lot of manual work to find and fix issues, sometimes involving end users. To make it simpler, consider using third-party tool like ShareGate that offers a range of automation options to manage M365.
ShareGate offers a solution with flexible, customized policy automations. These policies help clean up, organize, and govern your M365 tenant, reducing manual work. Plus, ShareGate allows for the delegation of issue resolutions, freeing up your IT team to focus on more strategic tasks.
As an admin, you can set up the ShareGate Teams chatbot to send notifications automatically and you can use our chatbot to send notifications manually.
Use our chatbot to ask owners to apply a purpose tag or sensitivity tag; to alert owners when it's time to review external sharing links and guest access; and to take action on inactive teams and groups.
Many people find it tough to make the most of these tools because they lack confidence, their needs aren't being taken into account, or they haven't had the right training. As a result, they often resort to familiar yet unapproved tools (shadow IT) or end up misusing M365, which leads to unnecessary complications.
Fun facts about the ShareGate end-user app:
