When planning a SharePoint migration, it is important to understand customizations on the source system, plan the migration schedule and type of migration, plan for file shares and content migration, and plan taxonomy, metadata and tagging strategies. Not doing proper planning can lead to issues with content being migrated or found.
Planning Your Migration to SharePoint Online #SPBiz60Christian Buckley
Session from SPBiz.com online event on June 18th, 2015. It’s always best to begin with a plan, and this session will provide a framework for developing your own migration plan. While tools will help automate some aspects of the content move, much of the complexity of a SharePoint migration happens before a tool is installed. This session will help analysts, project managers and admin of SharePoint to reduce migration time and increase success.
As organizations consider SharePoint Online as an option for hosting their SharePoint environments, you may ask yourself how an enterprise can actually move a large number of SharePoint sites to the cloud. In this session we will discuss a large scale SharePoint migration to Office 365 which starts with several highly customized sites and multiple versions of SharePoint. We will look at the project structure and plan, staffing, benefits and pitfalls, technical considerations, lessons learned, and how you can plan for a successful move to SharePoint Online.
An updated version of Understanding the SharePoint basics given at SharePoint Saturday Twin Cities. This covers an introduction to SharePoint Objects and some do's and don'ts when beginning your SharePoint Site.

SharePoint powers content collaboration across Microsoft 365
SharePoint is the foundational service in Microsoft 365 that powers content collaboration across the suite, enabling people and organizations to:
Store, access and share files from anywhere with OneDrive
Collaborate on Office documents in real-time
Work together on shared content in Microsoft Teams and within Outlook
Build dynamic and engaging intranet sites enriched with Yammer and Stream
Automate business process and build no-code apps with PowerApps and Flow
Advantages of storing and sharing content in Microsoft 365
Storing and sharing content (Office docs, photos, PDF’s, 3D images, etc.) in Office 365 has the following benefits for end-users and for IT:
End-user benefits:
Simple, consistent and secure file access and sharing experiences across O365 apps and devices
Office document co-authoring with the latest Office desktop clients, mobile apps, and Office Online
AI – intelligent features like personalized search and discovery, recommended content, most recently used, trending sites, viewing insights
Benefits for IT and developers:
Intelligent, built-in security consistent across O365, including DLP, conditional access, ATP, ransomware recovery with Files Restore, etc.
Unified management – common admin, governance and management across users, apps, devices and services
Extensibility – since SharePoint files, sites, lists and pages are available in the Microsoft Graph, developers can use the single Graph API to connect to 3rd party services and build custom solutions
If you’re already using or thinking of moving to Microsoft Office 365, you’ll need to think about where to store your precious documents.
Microsoft SharePoint integrates with Office 365 and allows organisations to set up a centralised, password protected space to store and manage documents, create an intranet and collaborate on projects.

5 Steps for Constructing a Successful SharePoint Migration PlanChristian Buckley
Pesentaton given by SharePoint MVPs Ben Curry (Summit 7 Systems) and Christian Buckley (Axceler) on the essential components of a SharePoint migration plan.
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.

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

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

Most enterprises are trying to understand -- and roll out -- social capabilities across the enterprise, but many are concerned about the lack of governance controls for social activities in SharePoint and Yammer. This presentation helps set the stage for what is available out of the box, and what organizations should be thinking about to better govern their social deployments.
SharePoint out of the box is a powerful platform. Unfortunately, many organizations seem to think that governance is also out of the box. It isn't. The result? Site sprawl, unfettered content, and general process lawlessness. This is a fairly common problem, and there are definitely steps you can tackle to quickly get back on track. In this session, we'll discuss several real-world strategies for gaining control over your SharePoint environments, better aligning your SharePoint efforts with organizational goals, and dramatically improving your chances of meeting end user expectations.
The majority of SharePoint migration planning has little to do with the technical move, but is more about information architecture, data transformation, and other PM and BA skills. This presentation outlines 5 key areas of planning.

Innovation in the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Data WarehouseDataWorks Summit
Big Data adoption is a journey. Depending on the business the process can take weeks, months, or even years. With any transformative technology the challenges have less to do with the technology and more to do with how a company adapts itself to a new way of thinking about data. Building a Center of Excellence is one way for IT to help drive success.
This talk will explore Enterprise Holdings Inc. (which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car) and their experience with Big Data. EHI’s journey started in 2013 with Hadoop as a POC and today are working to create the next generation data warehouse in Microsoft’s Azure cloud utilizing a lambda architecture.
We’ll discuss the Center of Excellence, the roles in the new world, share the things which worked well, and rant about those which didn’t.
No deep Hadoop knowledge is necessary, architect or executive level.

Presentation shared with the Melbourne Australia-based #M365 Adoption User Group on January 31st, 2022.
Abstract: As organizations investigate the Microsoft Viva offerings and begin to develop their own Employee Experience strategies, one common question is: What can I do today to prepare for these new solutions? In this session, we'll cover the 4 business areas of Microsoft Viva (Culture & Communications, Productivity & Wellbeing, Knowledge & Expertise, Skilling & Growth) and their current (pre-Viva deployment) state, and what can/should be done to prepare for Viva. In addition, we'll walk through the customer and partner resources available to organizations to help you develop a comprehensive strategy.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

42. • Move content, as-is, into SharePoint and clean up there
• Clean and organize content first, then move to a new structure in
SharePoint
• Migrate content in waves, using the iterations to sort through and
organize your content while in transit, moving some content as-
is, reorganizing and transforming others
44. In Biology, taxonomy is the science dealing with the
description, identification, naming, and
classification of organisms. “however, the term is now
applied in a wider, more general sense and now may
refer to a classification of things, as well as to the
principles underlying such a classification.”
“Metadata provides context for data. Metadata is
used to facilitate the
understanding, characteristics, and management
usage of data. The metadata required for effective data
management varies with the type of data and context
of use.” Wikipedia.org
45. Strategy #7: Plan for tagging,
metadata, and taxonomy
Common Migraines
• Ad-hoc content migration leads to junk in portal
• Legacy content gets migrated slowly, if at all
• Inconsistent taxonomy across farms and site collections
• People author locally - multiplies problems globally
• Authors don‟t apply metadata= “shotgun” approach to
search OR Authors apply metadata without common
classification = better search, but worse authoring
experience
• Portal lacks high fidelity search
• User can‟t find the right content
• As a result, poor portal adoption and low user satisfaction

metadata, and taxonomy

47. • Map out your high level taxonomy (web apps, site
collections) and schemas (Content Types)
• Understand the as-is and to-be, and how it relates to
your metadata
• With Managed Metadata Service in 2010, it is critical that
you set up a governance model to guide this process, or it
will quickly get out of hand

I was going to include a picture of Brad Pitt, but then I thought – ok, maybe not that cool.
“While Microsoft can provide options for automating migration, these options work best with implementations which have no customizations and a simple structure.” Stephen Cummins, echoTechnologyThe challenge is to do this quickly, so that you minimize user impact and environment downtime.
Microsoft’s easy-to-follow guides. Point and click.There are a number of risks with In Place upgrade: 1) your system will be down, and if the migration does not go well – it could be down for a while 2) disk space will be impacted. You really don’t know how much space is needed 3) no rollback. Doh!With either migration method, you do have a Visual Upgrade, which basically replaces your gradual upgrade in 2007. This allows you to migrate, and through Central Administration, preview your 2007 sites in the 2010 template before committing yourself to it. So you can keep what works, and slowly make the changes over time.
Planning is the key. Let’s discuss the activities leading up to migration, which will drive your method for migration.
My background is technical project management. My company comes from a service background, and our team has participated in hundreds of migrations. From this experience, we’ve created a list of strategic considerations that will help ensure that your migrations are successful.I’d like to walk through them in detail, and I want your thoughts and feedback.And up front, aside from this presentation being available post-conference, I’d like to provide you with a free download of our 11 Strategic Considerations Checklist.
Before I go through this list, I would like to point out that many of these items have circular dependencies. They need to be done in parallel. They’re not meant to be run in order necessarily, but to help guide your planning activities and make your plan more robust and thorough.
Refer to ondemand event by Dux Raymond Sy about SharePoint project planning
There is some consideration of in-place versus database attach, or some hybrid approach.
A strong value proposition of SharePoint is the ability to better organize your content, improve discoverability, and clarify authorship and accessibility by mapping to SharePoint’s permissions. However, one of the primary reasons for delaying a file share migration is the need to go through and “clean up” content so that it can better fit into the SharePoint paradigm. As with any spring cleaning, migrating your file shares presents an opportunity for users and administrators to clean up document versions, reorganize folder structures, clarify content ownership, and update relevant metadata. But is it easier to clean up this content inside or outside of SharePoint?
Why a tortoise? This big guy is from the Galapagos Islands. I was thinking about Darwin’s classification of animals on the islands. Well – specifically, I was thinking about the movie Master and Commander with Russell Crowe and how they stopped on the islands and then had discussions about Darwin, classifications and taxonomy… but that’s neither here nor there.
