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.

It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

14 Tips for Planning ECM Content Migration to SharePointJoel Oleson
• Is your organization using any Enterprise Content Management systems besides SharePoint?
• Has your current ECM system been deprecated or require an expensive annual maintenance contract?
• Does your firm already use Microsoft SharePoint as an intranet/collaboration portal?
• Would you like to leverage the cutting edge ECM and taxonomy features in SharePoint 2010 or 2013?
If so, it may be time to migrate your scanned and other transactional documents from your legacy ECM system to SharePoint, and take advantage of innovative ECM and taxonomy features available in this powerful platform.
Top industry experts and influencers Joel Oleson and Tom Castiglia from Hershey Technologies will explain best practices to plan and implement a successful ECM content migration to Microsoft SharePoint. Join us on June 4th to learn about:
• Using ECM and taxonomy related features in SharePoint 2010 and 2013
• Reasons to migrate content to SharePoint (as well as reasons not to migrate!)
• Best practices for ECM architecture in SharePoint including security, taxonomy and governance
• 14 specific tips for planning your migration from any ECM system to SharePoint
“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.
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

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.

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).
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.

The Slippery Slope of Migrating to SharePoint Online or On-PremiseAdam Levithan
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 will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
During this tutorial, we will:
•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

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.
In this webinar, Microsoft MVP, Adam Levithan looks at:
- Major differences between Classic vs. Modern experiences
- What modern means to an everyday employee
- 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.

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.
Topics include:
· Breaking down barriers and aligning operations with your future
· Identifying opportunities for growth and success
· Leveraging technology to enhance productivity
· Prioritizing initiatives and next steps
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).

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.
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.

5 Steps to Success
1 Inventory assessment
2 Content clean up
3 Migration approach
4 Redesign IA/UX
5 Creating a realistic schedule
14. 15
1. Audit and Inventory
• Total size of database
• Custom user interface
Master page
Page layouts
• Content types
• Infopath forms
• Workflows
• Custom web parts
• Custom applications
• Business connectivity web services (BCS)
Beware:
It’s not only how much
content that matters, but
the character of how you’re
using it (i.e. file share
replacement vs.
collaboration) .

Trivial
• Options:
Migrate
Migrate and Update
Archive
Delete
2. Content Clean Up
Leverage the upgrade opportunity to
ensure quality content in SP 2013.
• Two schools of thought…
Create rule-based cleansing
Engage business users for subjective
analysis
Beware:
The time it takes to perform this step is
almost always underestimated. Add
time to your original estimate.
21. 22
Archive Strategies
• What are your options:
Leave it in older SharePoint
Move it from SharePoint to a file share
Migrate to new SharePoint to an archive
site collection
• If content continues to exist…keep it in
READ ONLY mode.
• Consider deletion policies as part of
records retention
What should be kept for compliance?
Is it a risk if the file is kept?
23. Which Approach is Right for You?
24
• SP to SP version upgrade
(cannot migrate directly from
2007-2013)
• Few customizations
• On-Prem to on-Prem
• No IA rebuild required
• Works for all types of
migrations
• SharePoint to SharePoint
• Unstructured file repositories
• Third party DMS
• Only supported path to migrate
to SP Online
• Copy, paste, tag
• Works in all situations
• Extremely labor intensive
