In our previous blog we explained what SharePoint is and covered the many benefits of using this powerful tool in any business and any industry, leading to improved business outcomes.
Our SharePoint specialist at Hybrid TP has successfully migrated more than 20 companies over the last 18 months and with no complaints.
“Every SharePoint migration has gone smoothly, and our customers are raving about the automation tools and access control tools, amongst other things.”
In this post, we will cover the typical set-ups to migrate from, the estimated time it takes to complete a full migration and the main advantage once you have migrated to SharePoint. Migrating to SharePoint can be a complex process, but we are here to help and simplify the entire process through meticulous pre-planning, preparing your data, backing up your data and setting up your SharePoint environment.
Typical set-ups to migrate from:
1.File server to SharePoint
Many organizations have been using file servers to store their documents and files, but as they grow, it becomes challenging to manage and share files effectively. SharePoint provides a more robust platform for storing, sharing, and collaborating on documents. Migrating from a file server to SharePoint can offer benefits such as improved search capabilities, version control, and access to documents from anywhere, among others.
Main Advantage: Always available
Estimated time to complete a full migration to SharePoint: 1 week
2.OneDrive to SharePoint
SharePoint is designed to handle larger volumes of data and can scale better than OneDrive. As your organization grows, you may find that SharePoint is better suited to handle your needs. SharePoint can serve as a central repository for all your organization’s data, whereas OneDrive is designed for individual file storage. Centralizing your data in SharePoint can make it easier to find and manage.
Main Advantage: Access is granted to more than one person
Estimated time to complete a full migration to SharePoint: 1 week
3.Google Workspace to SharePoint
SharePoint offers more granular security controls than Google Workspace, allowing you to control access to individual files and folders. SharePoint also provides auditing and reporting features to help you monitor and manage your data. As SharePoint is part of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools, which includes tools like Teams, Power Apps, and Power BI, this integration can enhance your organization’s productivity and streamline your workflows.
Main Advantage: Integrating all your Microsoft tools into one set-up
Estimated time to complete a full migration to SharePoint: 1 week
Overall, migrating from your current set-up to SharePoint will save you time, money, and headaches in the long run. SharePoint offers more security controls and provides auditing and reporting features to help you monitor and manage your data and business.
