SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them, 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 migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this tutorial discussed precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
During this tutorial, we:
Evaluate options of moving content from various systems of origin (including previous versions of SharePoint and non-Microsoft CMS)
Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing environment
Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
Review a check list of precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online
Create a migration strategy you can take back to your organization
In this webinar, Toby Ward, President and CEO of Prescient Digital Media, and Tamer El Shazli, VP, Technology + SharePoint Lead, Social Business Interactive, discuss the pros, cons, and overall capabilities of SharePoint 2013, and see how it stacks up to the competition.
Leveraging SharePoint & Yammer’s Social Capabilities For Business BenefitRichard Harbridge
SharePoint is used as an enterprise collaboration platform in almost every organization, yet many organizations are still in the process of deciding why and when they should implement some of the new SharePoint social capabilities or how best to leverage and invest/utilize yammer’s social capabilities. While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide it’s not clear how SharePoint & Yammer measure up against other social technologies, and perhaps more importantly what the true benefits social capabilities in SharePoint provide to real business scenarios.
Join Richard Harbridge as he provides an objective overview of what works well, and what requires additional configuration, 3rd party products and customizations in SharePoint in order to realize the strongest return on your existing SharePoint investments.
Three Lessons Learned From Attending This Session:
1. Strengths and uses of SharePoint’s native social capability and how you can tackle specific business challenges.
2. Real world risks that SharePoint social capabilities can introduce and how to tackle them.
3. How to begin planning a social strategy and roll out with Yammer & SharePoint.
The pace of business is accelerating. Disruptive change can be a barrier in the road ahead, or it can be a bumpy reminder of the importance of innovating and evolving the way your organization leverages technology. SharePoint is a constantly evolving platform that is used to share, organize, discover, build and manage business value. SharePoint 2016 is coming, new features and capabilities in Office 365 are being released to meet increased demand from organizations around the world, and we have more options and ways we can implement today than we have ever had in the past. With so much change it’s important to understand how your own organization can better leverage SharePoint in improved ways to maximize the value it provides. Come hear about the challenges organizations are facing today, how the legal industry is using SharePoint, and how we can break through barriers to drive more meaningful results.
The Social Enterprise In A Cloud First And Mobile First World - TechFuseRichard Harbridge
Organizations today need to be more responsive. People are more connected than ever before.

What might that look like and how might social enterprise technology play a role? While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide, it’s often not as clear how we can go about implementing these technologies in a way that complements our organizations investments in powerful collaborative technologies like SharePoint. SharePoint is used as an enterprise collaboration platform in almost every organization, yet many organizations are still in the process of deciding why and when they should implement some of the new social capabilities. Organizations may not know how best to leverage social technologies like Yammer with their current investments. We are here to help.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares Microsoft’s vision for Enterprise Social and the future of work.

SharePoint 2016 Migration Success Takes Three StepsAdam Levithan
Your successful migration to SharePoint 2016 takes three actions: analysis, optimization and planning.
It also takes a lot of questions that require answers. What do you have? What do you move? What do you archive? What problems might occur? What do users expect? From identifying content sprawl, deciding what to archive, understanding potential security risks, ending performance issues and creating an environment that meets end-user expectations, requires many questions that need good answers.
In this session, you’ll learn what to ask and how to find answers: Understand your current environment
Maximizing SharePoint 2016 features
Accurately plan your migration
Reduce risk in your SharePoint migration
The Rise of SharePoint as a Business Critical HubDan Barker
SharePoint has matured since its inception in the early 2000’s from a product that provides a lot of important features to a full blown platform that small and large business are building critical solutions on. The average $1 billion company maintains, on average, 48 disparate financial systems and uses 2.7 ERP systems. SharePoint enables incredible interoperability to these various systems in a way that’s consistent across various groups within the enterprise. In this session we will talk about how SharePoint can be used to create convergence across the various line of business systems in a way that not only saves time and money but also breaks down silos that impeded productivity and innovation.
What Makes Migrating to the Cloud Different Than On-PremisesChristian Buckley
My second presentation from #SPTechCon Boston 2014, focusing on the limitations and performance concerns of migration to SharePoint Online (part of Office 365).
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 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
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. These may include forms and workflows, scheduled timer jobs, custom look and feel, business logic to interface with other line of business solutions, to name a few.
This presentation takes a look at ways to create a SharePoint Online environment that will provide a similar experience for your users. We will look are various technologies, including CSOM Scripting, Microsoft Flow, PowerApps, Forms, LogicApps, and Azure Functions.

Are you one of the 200,000+ organizations that have rolled out Microsoft Teams? Microsoft Teams has been Microsoft's fastest growing business applications in company history, and for good reason! The power of teamwork and real time collaboration in the digital workplace using Microsoft Teams has been making a huge impact on productivity. In this session we discuss what Microsoft Teams is and how to use it, as well as how organizations are saving time and improving collaboration and communication using the product.
Microsoft Teams just appeared for many Office 365 subscribers. Since then, it’s been “On,” but has not been officially rolled out. Many are lacking the enterprise plan for how Teams should be used, and as a result, users have gone rogue and started creating Teams and using it without any formal policy.
In this webinar, Jill Hannemann goes over Administration policies you should care about, how to rein in existing Teams, and set forth communication on governance moving forward.
This is your governance guide to enterprise roll outs for Microsoft Teams!
Every project manager seeks organization, engagement with their team, timeliness of work completion, and success for their project.

This year Office 365 turns 5. Has it really been that long? Never before in our technical language has one word "Modern" taken on so many different meanings!
Starting in 2013, Office 365 took on the basic form we know today. Through these 5 years Office 365 has seen many changes, with one of the latest being Modern pages, sites, framework etc. Yes, Modern is not only about look and feel but how Office 365 is being built and how it can simplify how your employees collaborate and communicate.

- Future roadmap of Office 365 features
Organizations are changing. People want to work in a more efficient and digitalized way allowing them to be successful at their day to day job.
Business users want to be involved in the decision around the systems and platforms that are being implemented. However, the pace of change that IT is able to handle might not be in sync with that the business users are asking for. When the IT strategy ignores this movement, shadow IT and employee retention can be impacted negatively.
In this webinar, Withum's Fabian Williams, MVP and Jethro Seghers of SkySync, discuss how workforce modernization can help you avoid the issues that might rise with this movement.
In this webinar we cover:
- How do you make content transparently available for the right users within the right tools?
- How do you enable content integration between the different platforms without having to recreate content?
- How to implement automation over these disparate data sources into your line of business processes and/or employee interactions
- How organizations can embrace change without sacrificing corporate culture & policies.

Planning how to roll out Office 365 for electronic files doesn’t have to be hard, and having a little help is never a bad thing. We share some of our best tips to rolling out document management with tools from Office 365.
You will get a better understanding of:
- Navigating the different apps within Office 365 that provide document storage
- Creating a simple document lifecycle that maps to governance and document management
- Setting up document management within Office 365, learn what should be turned on
The pressure to be more competitive is constant. Organizations must battle hard for every percentage point of growth. Yet most organizations have untapped potential within their reach. IT optimization through ERP deployment improves the top and the bottom line of the P&L.
In this webinar, Walter Merkas and Rene Theberge of Withum, explain how spending too little on Business Management Systems ends up costing much more than desired. Managing a business through an ERP is less costly than one may think.
They cover the anticipated need, costs and benefits of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
Some say the changes that will occur in the business world in the next five years will have more of an impact than the changes that have occurred over the last 30! To NOT adapt to change is to get left behind.
Investing in change can be difficult. Simply identifying what needs to be changed can be overwhelming. Executing and driving change can appear impossible.
Transformation is possible. By looking at what both exists in terms of current circumstances as well as possibilities, businesses can develop manageable, successful strategies that make the path forward exciting and tactical.
Whether you are aiming to enhance revenue, increase efficiency, innovate, or plan for what lies ahead – in this webinar we discuss driving sustainability and success through operational transformation.

As the European Union (EU) has enacted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is easy to perceive this regulation would apply to only multinational or European companies. GDPR will certainly impact businesses in EU; but it will extend its applicability for international businesses, even those based in the United States.
In this webinar, Daniel Cohen-Dumani and Anupam Goradia of Withum cover what exactly GDPR is and why it is important to your business. We also share practical tips and best practice on how to ensure your compliance.
With more than 85 million people actively using Office 365, enterprises are looking to the platform to provide underlying technology to support knowledge management efforts.
In this webinar, Withum's Jill Hannemann, Principal, discusses fundamentals of a knowledge management strategy and areas where the technology of Office 365 aligns with process and people.
Jill focuses on how different workloads within Office 365 support functions such as sharing, organizing, finding, and retaining valuable, unstructured knowledge.
In this webnar, Withum's Melissa Hubbard, MVP, teams up with CardioLog Analytics and Matthew Bailey, MCT to talk about everything you need to know about the latest Microsoft capability, Microsoft Teams.
This in-depth session covers what teams is, how it can benefit you and how to use Teams successfully in your organization.
In this webinar, we talk about how Microsoft Office 365 can be integrated into the healthcare industry to create a powerful and secure space for your staff to collaborate in.
The overwhelming amount of announcements we heard at Microsoft Ignite this year provided us with so much exciting content to share, we've decided to do a couple of break out webinar sessions on what matters most to organizations.
In this webinar, Daniel and Chris for this webinar talk about the latest news in SharePoint and OneDrive. They review new features, where each of these workloads are headed and what it means for your organization.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

What’s in a Job?
Migrating with Tools
Many migration tools
allow you to run jobs
for flexibility in
migration
• You don’t ever want to run a “full
migration,” i.e. send everything in one
job
• Jobs allow you to re-organize as you
migrate
• Jobs allow you some control in what
successful transfers vs. what fails to
fully transfer
• Your need for granularity in your jobs
will differ
• Different tools allow for different
capabilities around jobs

MIGRATION: -The Physical Movement
of SharePoint Containers, Data and
Associated Attributes from one
SharePoint Farm to a new Farm
independent of SharePoint version
http://www.metalogix.com/Blog/Blog-Article/13-02-11/Yes_You_Can_Move_Straight_From_SharePoint_2007_to_SharePoint_2013.aspx
91. The Database Attach Upgrade
1. Farm Admin creates/configures new 2013 farm (no in-place upgrade for 2013)
2. 2010 DBs placed in read-only mode and copied to 2013 farm via SQL Server
3. Content DBs upgraded (but not site collections – remain in 2010 “mode”)
4. Service Application DBs upgraded
5. Site collections evaluated and upgraded by owners
The Out of the
Box Approach
92. The Database Attach Upgrade – Issues?
1. Farm Admin creates/configures new 2013 farm (no in-place upgrade for 2013)
2. 2010 DBs placed in read-only mode and copied to 2013 farm via SQL Server
3. Content DBs upgraded (but not site collections – remain in 2010 “mode”)
4. Service Application DBs upgraded
5. Site collections evaluated and upgraded by owners
The Out of the
Box Approach
What about SharePoint 2007 or 2003 or Office 365?
“Read Only” is not collaborative. How long can SharePoint be offline?
Lots of accidents waiting to happen? How long before something breaks?
Truly gradual? Change Management? SharePoint Sprawl? Future growth?
93. The OOTB – Where It Can Go Wrong
Potential Content Issues
Document Libraries with greater than 250,000 documents
• May fail therefore move to folders with 2000 documents in each
Remove excess versions of documents to increase speed
• Either Manually or Programmatically
Remove unused templates, features and web parts
• Stsadm commands to identify current use
94. The OOTB – Where It Can Go Wrong
Potential Database Issues
Sites Collections & Databases larger than 100GB will be slow and may fail
•Split Across Multiple Databases
My Sites should be moved to their own Content DB
Remove duplicate or orphaned site collections
•These can cause the DB attach to fail
Site Collection Limit per Content DB has Changed
•2,500 non-personal maximum but up to 10,00 possible in mixed use (personal + non-
personal)
95. The OOTB – Where It Can Go Wrong
General SQL Management & Performance
Issues
Upgrade Multiple Databases in Parallel
• Upgrading in Parallel can be slower than one at a time
Use Throttling
• Limit number of DB upgrades that happen at once
SQL Mirroring should be turned off
SQL Storage can grow up to 50% larger than Source DB size
• Must be recovered post upgrade
97. Advantages of a Migration Tool
Skip SharePoint versions e.g. 2007 straight to
2013
Site collection-specific vs. content DB
Reorganization, splitting sites & lists
taxonomy, permissions, content types
Re-template sites
Implement a customized migration or
upgrade strategy
Support for Workflow
98. Closing thoughts:
• A migration is a great opportunity to reassess your business
requirements and “spring clean”
• The most successful migrations are those that pay close
attention to the end user experience throughout
• Put as much control into the hands of your end users as
possible. After all, they own the content

Migrate from SQL Server in Azure VMs
Migrates 99% of content from Content DBs located
in Azure Virtual Machines
Azure Virtual Machines are physically next door neighbors to
SharePoint Online
Geographical distance is no longer an issue!
The Power of Automation
PowerShell allows consulting companies to automate the migration of thousands of Site Collections, Sites, Lists instead of migrating 1 at a time
Combining PowerShell with massive multi-threading creates a multiplier effect
Create master CSV file with all mailboxes and sizes
For Staged: combine large and small mailboxes
Coach users to reduce mailbox sizes
E3 plan has unlimited storage for users
Archiving leverages 2nd tier storage
Establish settings in Admin Center
Admin Center is similar to Exchange on-prem
Unified messaging
Built in protection
J – REPLACE WITH SCREEN CAPTURES IF INTERESTING
Migration presents an ideal time to assess the current SharePoint’s information architecture and to determine what should change.
IA izncludes the combination of Content, Context, and users. For example, a user opens a main landing page. Does this user see the right content? Is it within the right context? Should this user see this content and in this context? Or should this user be receiving something else in terms of content and experience?
IA considers how information – i.e., content – is design to “flow” to a user but also how a user flows to content.
A good example is Amazon. If navigating to the Amazon
