What Is a SharePoint Migration Service?
A SharePoint migration service helps organizations move content, workflows, and data from older systems (on-premises SharePoint, file shares, legacy platforms) into modern environments like SharePoint Online or Microsoft 365. It’s not just about transferring files—it’s about retaining permissions, metadata, customizations, workflows, and structure while ensuring business continuity and minimal disruption during the transition.
But the success of that migration strongly depends on the provider you choose.
Why SharePoint Migration Matters Now
Legacy SharePoint versions such as SharePoint 2016 are reaching their end of support, leading to security risks, compliance gaps, and lack of updates if organizations delay migration. Migration is essential for several key reasons:
-
Enhanced security & compliance: newer environments provide modern governance tools.
-
Improved collaboration: cloud-based SharePoint integrates with Teams, Power Platform, and AI tools.
-
Lower infrastructure cost: reduce on-prem maintenance and hardware dependency.
With these drivers, a professional migration service isn’t optional…it’s strategic.
What Makes a Great SharePoint Migration Service
Top-tier SharePoint migration services should include:
1. Discovery & Planning
Thorough assessment of current environments and content structure to define scope, timeline, and risk mitigation.
2. Data Integrity & Security
Ensuring permissions, version history, metadata, and regulated data are preserved during the move.
3. Proven Migration Tools & Automation
Technical tools to automate bulk transfers, reduce human error, and accelerate timelines.
4. Minimal Disruption
Phased or hybrid methods that keep users productive throughout the transition.
5. Post-Migration Validation & Support
Testing, user training, and support so teams can adopt and thrive in the new environment.
