The webinar, which took place on July 4, 2024, covers the topic of data migration to Office 365, especially SharePoint and Teams. The main content of the webinar can be summarized as follows:
Introduction and context
The webinar began with an explanation of the increasing relevance of data migration in German-speaking countries. It was emphasized that the content presented was based on practical experience from numerous projects.
Planning errors and reverse migration
Two common reasons for reverse migration were cited: inadequate planning before introducing new systems and security or stability issues with Microsoft services.
Data cleansing before migration
A key point was the need to perform thorough data cleanup prior to migration. It was recommended to identify and delete outdated or redundant data to reduce the migration volume.
Technical limitations
The webinar highlighted technical limitations, such as the maximum path length and the number of documents that can be synchronized from OneDrive. These limitations must be taken into account when planning the migration.
authorization management
Another important topic was the management of permissions. It was recommended to keep permissions as flat as possible and to avoid deeper structures to make administration easier.
Transparency and visualization
It was emphasized that transparency and visualization of the data structure are crucial to perform an effective migration. The tool migRaven.one was introduced, which offers comprehensive analysis and visualization functions.
Process of migration
The migration process was explained in detail, from analysis to cleanup to the actual technical migration. It was shown how the tool migRaven.one can be used to automate and manage these steps.
Project management: Finally, the integration of project management into the tool was highlighted, which makes it possible to monitor and document the progress of the migration.
