Hello,

A migration is quickly thought of as a technical copying project. In fact, the real work begins long before that: data stocks must be assessed, grown structures cleaned up, permissions reviewed, responsibilities clarified and technical dependencies planned for. Only on this basis can it be decided what should actually be migrated – and how the move can be implemented cleanly.

These topics were the focus of last week's webinar „The Best-Case Migration for File Servers and SharePoint“. Analysis and clean-up of the IT landscape are not only relevant for an upcoming migration, though: Even when data stocks are to be tidied up, structures reorganized, or restructured in the course of organizational changes, many of the same questions arise.

The three key takeaways from the webinar

Putting data and structures to the test.

Whether migration, restructuring or clean-up: Only once data stocks, grown structures and dependencies are transparent can it be decided what is still needed, what should be reorganized and what can be discarded as legacy.

Don't simply carry permissions and responsibilities forward.

Grown access rights and unclear responsibilities need to be put to the test – regardless of whether data is migrated, structures are changed or existing environments are cleaned up.

Data transfer alone does not make a successful migration.

Project planning, involving those responsible and repairing changed file and document links ensure that users can continue working without unnecessary interruptions even after the move.
