SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint Online readiness
A legacy SharePoint environment needed a practical path to SharePoint Online without carrying forward stale permissions, abandoned sites, and unknown workflow dependencies.
The challenge
The source environment had years of organic growth: unclear site ownership, deep permission inheritance breaks, legacy forms, workflow dependencies, and mixed business expectations around what should move.
Our approach
- ✓Created a source inventory of high-value sites, libraries, workflows, forms, owners, and risk areas.
- ✓Defined a target SharePoint Online information architecture with hub structure, site ownership, and permission boundaries.
- ✓Separated content into migrate, remediate, archive, retire, and modernize categories.
- ✓Built a pilot wave plan and validation checklist for business owners and IT administrators.
Outcomes
- ✓Leadership received a decision-ready migration roadmap instead of a vague lift-and-shift estimate.
- ✓Site owners had a clear review process for permissions, content cleanup, and post-migration acceptance.
- ✓The migration plan reduced the risk of moving stale access, unsupported workflows, and abandoned content into the target tenant.
