Reasons to Move from SharePoint On-Premise to the Cloud

Organizations upgrade to SharePoint to improve Content Management, collaboration, and security. Legacy on-premises SharePoint environments, such as SharePoint 2010 and 2013, often slow workflows, complicate permissions, and require heavy maintenance.

Moving to Office 365 delivers:

Access to modern SharePoint sites and structured site collections

Real-time collaboration and integration with Microsoft Teams and Power Automate

Improved security, compliance, and security updates

Support for document library management, metadata, and version history

Alignment with current IT systems without maintaining old servers

WME ensures the migration is controlled and predictable, keeping SharePoint users productive from day one.

What to Watch for During SharePoint Site Migration

Migrating SharePoint is not just moving files. Risks arise when structure, permissions, and content aren’t carefully managed.

Common challenges include:

Broken SharePoint sites or misaligned site collections

User permissions and group permission mismatches

Scattered content across file shares, network drives, or Google Drive

Loss of version history or outdated list items

Complexity in large environments with large volumes of SharePoint data

Migration failures caused by inconsistent migration settings or untested migration jobs

We address these risks by planning the migration with precision, using our migration software selection, including the SharePoint Online Migration Tool, to track progress and prevent disruption.

What WME Migrates and Modernizes

WME ensures all essential SharePoint content and structures move correctly, so your environment is clean and usable from day one.  This includes:

SharePoint sites and site collections, including modern and classic layouts

Document libraries, list items, and version history

SharePoint data tied to Active Directory, including First name, Last name, and email address

External content from file shares, network drives, and Google Drive

Metadata, permissions, and workflow configurations to keep SharePoint users productive

Integration readiness with Microsoft 365 tools

Every item is reviewed and mapped before migration using a mapping file or CSV file, ensuring content moves accurately and migrated files remain accessible. This prevents duplication, preserves relationships, and keeps your SharePoint environment structured.
