Migrating SharePoint shouldn't feel like navigating a minefield—it should be a strategic leap forward. Whether you're modernising legacy systems, consolidating intranets, or moving to SharePoint Online, XRM Labs turns daunting migrations into seamless transitions.
With structured methodology, proven tools, and governance-focused execution, we safeguard your content, empower your teams, and unlock new efficiencies.
Our Migration Method
Step 1: In-Depth Analysis
We evaluate your current SharePoint environment—assess customisations, workflows, content volume, and potential migration blockers. This enables effective prioritisation and precise planning.
Step 2:Rationalisation & Cleanup
Together with your team, we review all content, categorising it as active, stale, or archival. We automate the identification and removal of redundant content, making your new environment leaner and faster.
Step 3: Secure Permission Review
We audit permissions and governance rules, resolving inconsistencies and reinforcing access control before proceeding—a key step for a safe migration.
Step 4: Test Migration & Zero Downtime Target
Our approach includes test migrations to validate structure, performance, and business alignment—while aiming for minimal operational disruption.
Step 5: Full-Scale Migration & Validation
Once approved, we execute the full migration, followed by rigorous checks—ensuring data integrity, optimised content structure, and improved searchability.
Challenges We Address
Organisations often face challenging obstacles during migrations, such as:
- Too Much Legacy Clutter – Inefficient site structures and outdated content lead to wasted storage and poor findability.
- Permission Chaos – Misconfigured or overly permissive access models can expose sensitive data.
- Hidden Downtime Risks – Without careful testing, migration plans can force unwanted operational outages.
- Search & Navigation Setbacks – Unstructured content hampers discoverability post-migration.
- Scalability Pitfalls – Aggressive or careless upgrades can break workflows or custom solutions.
XRM Labs tackles each challenge head-on with our orchestrated planning and test-driven delivery.
