Content migrations are complex, resource-intensive, time sensitive activities that are often started too late with insufficient resources assigned. No one wants to do it but someone has to. This presentation will take you through developing a migration strategy and plan for executing successful migrations in SharePoint
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.
SharePoint Migration - To Be Or Not To Be ‘In The Cloud’ Adam Levithan
With Microsoft's release of SharePoint 2013 and Office 365, organizations are still unsure which direction to turn when faced with a migration decision. Is the cloud the right fit for my organization? Is traditional, on-premise the best bet? How about the hybrid approach?
The fervor that existed in organizations to migrate quickly from SharePoint 2003 to 2007, and 2007 to 2010 has not been repeated for SharePoint 2013. While there are significant technological and user-focused advances in SharePoint 2013, it has faced rapid changes in the expectations of organizations to implement digital workplaces that its predecessors did not experience. These changes include the confusion and competition between Office 365, Yammer and other systems being introduced as options, even when hosting options have already been chosen.
Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of SharePoint in the cloud, on-premise and hybrid. This webinar will help you better understand the available options and how they fit in creating a real-time, digital workplace within your organization.
•The benefits of each migration option, Office 365, on-premise and hybrid
•Top reasons for moving to the cloud
•The cost of migration alternatives (on-Premise, Hosted, Office 365)
•How to build a value statement for your migration
11 Strategic Considerations for SharePoint MigrationsChristian Buckley

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
• Automatic migration of content driven by classification of metadata
With the increase in unstructured information, organizations are looking for new ways to not only improve their search and retrieval process, but also manage and leverage their information assets to improve performance when migrating information.
In this webinar InfoStrata Solutions and Concept Searching will discuss strategies for analyzing your existing information, to categorize and prioritize your assets prior to migrating to SharePoint. We will explore how to leverage the Term Store in different ways to manage content, and how migration and storage costs can be reduced by de-duplicating, removing, or archiving obsolete content.
What you will take away from this session:
• Understand the migration process, to ensure important content is not lost
• Learn how Concept Searching’s Smart Content Framework™ can provide a new way to undertake bulk migrations
• Learn strengths and weaknesses of the information management capabilities of SharePoint 2010 and 2013
• Best practices on managing content with the Term Store
• The difference between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated Term Store solution
• Intuitive and unique features in conceptTaxonomyManager that integrate with the SharePoint Term Store, leveraging metadata to drive business value

“A survey of corporate CIOs and general counsels found that, typically, 69% of the data most organizations keep can – and should – be deleted.”
Compliance, Governance and Oversight Counsel (CGOC) Summit
So what happens to the 69%? Most likely it will get migrated with no rhyme or reason. Just because it seems easier. And the organization is still left with mismanaged, useless information. That’s only one migration scenario. Migrations can be fraught with delays, budget overruns, and overall frustration. Register for this practical and informative webinar on March 25th, sponsored by Portal Solutions and Concept Searching and learn how you can eliminate migration challenges and reach the pinnacle of success.
What you will take away:
• Learn from Portal Solutions, an industry recognized SharePoint firm, the best practices and processes to approach migration
• Understand the key challenges that need to be overcome before migration
• Obtain buy-in and build the business case on why migration adds value and does not just move content from one place to another
• Take away a clear vision of the steps involved during migration and the phases to be accomplished
• Hear about Intelligent Migration technologies using conceptClassifier for SharePoint
• See how the technology is a key component in a migration solution
• Find the ROI of using one set of technologies to facilitate the migration process, and deploy metadata enabled solutions for search, content management, data protection, records management, and any application that uses metadata.
SharePoint migration can be complex and time-consuming, but with the help of tools such as Sharegate, Metalogix, and AvePoint, the process can be simplified. These tools offer various features such as easy-to-use interfaces, automated migration, and content filtering. Additionally, it is important to consider factors such as data security and compliance when selecting a migration tool. Therefore, choosing the right tool and taking necessary precautions can make SharePoint migration a smoother process.For more information visit: https://global-sharepoint.com/
We've heard it all before - SharePoint solutions are dead. SharePoint Designer is deadish. InfoPath is not far behind. So what does all this mean for your workflow and forms solutions in SharePoint Online or your hybrid environment? Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has released a number of new apps and services that that not only fill the gaps, but provide you with great flexibility.
This session introduces some of these new technologies, including PowerApps, Forms, Flow, LogicApps, Azure Functions, and Azure WebJobs to name a few and discuss the scenarios to best leverage each of them.

Practical Tips for Migrating SharePoint Customizations to Office 365Haniel Croitoru
When planning a migration of SharePoint on-premises environment to Office 365, the first thing that comes to mind is organizations often focus mainly on their content - all the documents and items stored across their libraries and lists. Of course, why wouldn't they? It's the reason that they started using SharePoint anyways. But in many cases, the SharePoint environment that has been well adopted and his highly use will include some level of customizations to help meet specific business needs.

Find out how, when and why you would use Nintex, PowerApps, Flow and other Office 365 innovations to get more done in your business.
Deploying SharePoint Online: What You Need To KnowHaniel Croitoru
SharePoint Online can be provisioned in a number of ways. Depending on your specific scenario your provisioning options may be limited. I'll be covering provisioning through UI, SharePoint Designer, PowerShell server-side, and PowerShell client-side deployments as well as some variations of the last option.
Microsoft recently launched a pre-release of Office 365 Planner, which is a Kanban-like simple task management tool. Although the product is still very new, it is already positioned as a serious contender to other popular task planning tools such as Trello due to the amount of functionality it offers. Planner is tightly integrated with Office 365 Groups and leverages the Groups’ conversations, calendar, files, and OneNote functionality.
In this session I discuss some of the key differences and main deciding factors on using of solution over the other.
PMO365 - The many faces of Project Management in Office 365Haniel Croitoru
Have you ever wondered if you can effectively manage projects without a dedicated PMIS or other tools that will break the bank? Project Management Systems come in many sizes and forms. Most systems have a sophisticated multi-project/program planning component and also let you track, resources, risk and issues, and more. All these bells and whistles often carry a hefty price tag. For enterprises that manage large projects this makes sense. But if you’re a small or medium size business who doesn’t have the need for such complexity in your project tracking, Office 365 is a great.
In this presentation I introduce you to Office 365 and the apps that can help you in your day-to-day life as a project lead and discuss when to use what for a variety of use cases.
Recently, Microsoft released its new task management tool, Office 365 Planner. Until that time, Trello was the tool of choice for many when it came to managing unstructured tasks. Join the discussion to hear about my head-to-head comparison of the two solutions share your experience.

Staying Informed About What Matters in Office 365Haniel Croitoru
For many of us, communication is a key component of our daily work. We need to stay informed and inform others of what’s going on through reports, presentations, conversations, and other artefacts to name a few. A few years back this was done quite easily because there was one main medium of communication – email. Things are different today. There’s a push to reduce email clutter and increase the amount of collaboration through cloud services such as Office 365.
This talk, as presented at CollabCon discusses a practical approach for ensuring that SharePoint sites are meeting the necessary accessibility guidelines as defined by AODA and WCAG 2.0
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

3. Agenda
• What is content migration?
• Why content migrations fail
• Migration Strategy
• Migration Plan
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint

5. • Content Migration is the process of moving
information stored on a Web content management
system(CMS), Digital asset
management(DAM), Document management
system(DMS), or flat HTML based system to a new
system. Flat HTML content can entail HTML
files, Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer Pages
(JSP), PHP, or content stored in some type of
HTML/JavaScript based system and can be either
static or dynamic content.

6. Content Migration in everyday life
• You can equate content migration in terms of your
home content:
1.
Move into home and organize content into cabinets
(content repositories) by clothing, utensils, etc. (content
types)
2.
After a while things become more random.
3.
When you move to a new house, you organize the boxes
based on how things are organized and you leave some
things behind
4.
In the new home you organize the content based on the
new layout and other deciding factors (new rooms, etc.)

7. Think of migrations as ETL
Extract, Transform and Load
(ETL) refers to a process in
database usage and especially in
data warehousing that involves:
1.
Extracting data from outside
sources Transforming it to fit
operational needs (which can
include quality levels)
2.
Loading it into the end target
(database, more
specifically, operational data
store, data mart or data
warehouse)

8. Drivers for Content Migration
• Consolidate – one or more CMS/File systems are
consolidated into one for centralized
control, governance of content, and better
Knowledge management and sharing.
• Reorganize - mergers and acquisitions to
assimilate as much content from the source
systems for a unified look and feel.
• Convert - content that has grown organically either
in a CMS or Flat HTML and standardizing the
formatting so standards can be applied for a
unified branding of the content.

10. Why Content Migrations fail
• Content migration often not a technical limitation
for CMS.
• It is the correctness and validity of data entered
into a system that determines its success or failure.
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013

12. Lack of Ownership
• Content owner(s) need to be clearly identified
• Migration process needs to involve these
individuals and more
• Content owner(s) need to feel engaged and
rewarded for this effort
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
12
13. Lack of Understanding
• Often underestimated or misunderstood
• Little or no time/cost/resources allocated to it
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013

14. It’s Ugly!
• Copying and pasting content or writing migration
scripts is tedious and often doesn’t feel very
rewarding.
• Focusing on new and exciting technology and
features is much more enticing.

16. Types of Content Migrations
• SharePoint to SharePoint
• Other CMS to SharePoint
• NAS/File share to SharePoint
• SharePoint to other CMS
• SharePoint to NAS/File share

17. Factors to consider when planning
a migration
• Branding changes – will creative and document content change?
• Link – will the information architecture require updates to links that may
not be automated?
• Content location – where is content coming from and where is it going?
• Content ownership – who owned the content and who will be the new
owners?
• Content accuracy – is the content still valid?
• Content obsolescence – is the content old?
• Governance – how will the content be managed?
• Custom developments (Web parts) – what custom development is
required to support the new/old content?
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
17
18. What content gets migrated?
• Identify file criteria
• Type
• Size
• Age
• Records
• Web pages
• Ensure to capture all the available metadata
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
18
19. Migration Types
• Automated – scripts can be written to modify the
original content if it’s well structured and populate the
new content repository
• Manual – in most scenarios, manual copy/paste of
content is required ad metadata may be missing or
there are significant, inconsistent changes to the
structure of the content.
• Hybrid – when migration is happening from multiple
sources, a hybrid automated/manual approach can be
taken for different portions of the new content
repository
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint

20. Migration Approaches
• As-is Migration - no change and no additional
information for original content
Source
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
Target (CMS)

21. Migration Approaches
• Enhanced Migration - source content has additional
metadata created as a requirement of the target
CMS system

Target (CMS)

22. Migration Approaches
• Standardization Migration - source content is broken
down into smaller levels of granularity to fit into
“templates” that are defined in the new CMS
Source

• Restructure Migration - navigation elements are
updated to reflect a new Information Architecture (IA)

24. Timing the migration
• Planning of a migration should begin as early as
possible. Ideally when a project for the new
SharePoint implementation is started.
• Content migration should be developed in a
phased approach as it is very involved and requires
a lot of steps in order to succeed.

29. Stakeholders & Team
These are the people you will be working very closely with
at every step of the migration.
• Communicate within the organization
• Get support from others
• Help in analyzing information
• Determine best execution paths
• Develop scripts, implement 3rd-party solutions
• Validate migrated data
• Representatives from Business, IT
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013

30. Stakeholders & Team
Outsourcing team
• Distances the organization from taking ownership of its
content
• Denies the opportunity for the content contributors to
learn the new system inside and out prior to launch
Rewards
• The migration team leader should give out little prizes
to people who exceed their target, are really helpful at
helping others solve problems or are great leaders.
• Keeping morale high will be important if a lengthy
migration period is required.
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013

31. Scheduling migrations
• Determine whether there are any key milestones within the
SharePoint implementation project that require content to be
ready (e.g. UAT).
• Ensure resources are available for the work when needed.
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
31
32. Budget
• Determine initial budget
• Scope, time, resources, tools will depend on it
• (re)writing of web parts and integration with 3rd
party solutions also need to be budgeted for at this
time.

34. Inventory
• Begin by creating a map and lists of all repositories containing
data to be migrated.
• For pages and files, identify the content types and collect the
following:
• Metadata associated with item in CMS
• Relations that indicate which content refers to this item
• Location of the page or file in the site, is it part of the navigation?
• For web pages, also need
• Fields that make up the content type or page, associated formats and
value lists restrictions and dependencies
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
34
35. Inventory Reports
• Need reports on
• Structure
• Number of documents per content type
• Pages with no references or broken links
• Access and modification statistics on visits
Rea-life Content Migration in SharePoint
1/29/2013
35
36. Inventory Report Caveats
• Hard to get complete overview of content structure
• File system/CMS may contain multiple copies of the
same data
• May have old versions that are not used anymore
• For web pages, getting a count may not be accurate as
some pages contain plain data and others are built of
content coming from somewhere else
• Need to analyze front-end (e.g. site map) as well as
back-end (CMS)
• CMS may contain unpublished content or metadata not
available to the front-end

Content types
Few, well-defined
Content types
Time
• Over time the content types will change and the old types are often left in
the system
• CMS generated overviews of the content often give a distorted view of the
real situation
• Restrictions in the current CMS or the creativity of the editors often results
in misuse of the content types, unnecessary new content types and
orphaned content on the site

40. Content mapping
• Define new content structure
• Determine new templates in CMS
• Content type mapping
• No change A A
• Merged A + B C
• Retired A
• Other rules (e.g. age)
• Links – to retain functionality internal links must be mapped
to create the necessary post-migration relationships

41. Content mapping
• Logical continuation of the inventory where the future state
is mapped to the current state and decisions are made how
differences are handled.
• It can help expose any issues with challenges in mapping the
old and new content types.

42. Content enhancement
• Make sure that the new CMS will contain clean content
• Translation: convert HTML, XML, CSS, etc. to correct naming
convention and structure
• Deletion: Remove erroneous or unused tags, scripts, and
unwanted code
• Transform: transform old XML to XML of new CMS
• Restructuring: Change the structure of the content to conform
to the new structure

44. Site Security
Source
• Open source repositories for analysis and view the content of
the records.
• Enable accounts and access levels to the migration tools to
access the source repositories and copy the records over to
SharePoint.
Target (SharePoint)
• Finalize access and security levels and groups in SharePoint
• Review migration worksheet with the content owners to
identify the groups and individuals who will need to have
access to the new repositories.

45. Governance
• Focus on usage and process monitoring and ongoing
maintenance.
• Ensure correct permissions are applied and that as people
change that roles and permissions are adjusted appropriately.
• Monitor volume of content stored within SharePoint.
Content that is not actively used will make it harder to find
things that are needed and can slow down searches and
performance.

46. Migration tools
• Selecting migration tools takes time and resources (cost)
• In selecting the tools, consider the following:
• Cost of tool
• Cost of doing it manual vs. using the tool
• Reusability for similar content repositories with slight
modifications
• Flexibility for using the tool on numerous content repository types
(e.g. file share, database, etc.)

48. Execution Approach
• One time - As the name implies, happens all at once, typically
over a weekend. This reduces costs as you don’t have two
systems running simultaneously. The downside to this
method is if delays occur, or if the new system doesn’t work
as planned, there may be negative impact to your business’s
top and bottom line.
• Phased - Allows for a gradual transition whereby you turn on
only parts of the new system at one time. The advantages
are that you can start getting results sooner; it’s easier to test
smaller, incremental datasets; and you can back out before
committing to the new system.

49. Execution Approach
• Synchronization/integration - Both old and new systems run
together. When the content is loaded and thoroughly tested a
cutover is made. The advantage here is that there is little
likelihood of problems as the systems will run together until
the new one is proven. The downside is that synchronization
software to keep both systems running in tandem can be
costly.
• Phased and Synchronized are used when content supports
mission critical 24/7 applications

50. Content Freeze
• For content analysis a snapshot of the content is taken.
• Prior to migration the content source is frozen.
• Delta migrations (synchronizations) are done after the freeze
is removed to move over the extra

51. Scheduling
• Scheduling the migration will depend on a number of factors
including:
• Volume of content
• Number of sources
• Organizational divisions
• Number and complexity of changes
• Timelines for completion
• Possibility of keeping original and new systems online and
synchronized
• In general, the more complex and larger the migration, the
better it is to execute it in smaller, logical groupings in an
Agile manner.

52. Scheduling
• Such groupings could be
• Content source
• Organizational department/divisions
• Identify ideal times/dates.
• Identify black-out periods.
• Identify freeze period which prevents users from adding new
content to the old repository will also be identified.

55. Training
• Just prior to beginning the trial migrations the users who
were identified as frequent contributors and readers of the
content as well as power users should be trained on the new
SharePoint solution.
• These individuals can help with the uptake of SharePoint and
become internal champions.

56. Trial migration
• A staging environment will be created where a subset of the
content can be migrated to and validated. Each repository go
through at least one trial migration.
• Several trials should be happening if there are any changes to
the structure of the files being migrated.
• Users should have been identified at this point who will assist
with the validation of the selected content using the
validation plan.

57. Execute migration
• New content may have been added since the original
assessment to the original repositories. This will necessitate
repeating the content analysis activities but only for the new
files to ensure that a comprehensive and up-to-date set of
data is being migrated.
• At this time all the content for migration should have been
collected, enhanced, cleaned and updated, migration tools
configured, trial migrations finished, and the various content
owners informed
• Migration execution can begin depending on the type of
approach chosen.

58. Validate
• Use end users and content editors for validation
• Combine with testing of new SharePoint functionality (e.g.
search)

60. Support
• Despite best efforts to migrate all the information correctly,
inevitably questions will arise that will require support for
thing such as:
• How can I get some content in that wasn’t migrated?
• How can I modify metadata that is incorrect?
• Where can I find information that was previously located
somewhere else?
• Why am I not able to modify/read files that I was able to prior to
the migration?

61. System Retirement
Once all the data has been migrated from the content
repositories to SharePoint and verified, a strategy needs to be
executed to retire the old systems.
• Removing access
• Repurposing or destroying the repositories
• Removing or updating any links to the old repositories.

63. Some Final Thoughts…
• Content migrations are complex, resource-intensive, time
sensitive activities
• To ensure successful migrations it’s important to follow a
structured approach for content identification, review,
migration and validation
• Enough time, budget, and resources need to be allocated for
migration activities
• Content touches everyone. Communicate, communicate,
communicate so no one is left in the dark!
