Challenge

The client faced the challenge of migrating its legacy Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Farm to Office 365 SharePoint Online. The existing SharePoint 2010 environment posed several pain points, including:

• End-of-life concerns for SharePoint 2010
• Outdated design not aligned with modern intranet standards
• Broken site structure and lack of governance leading to content sprawl
• Complexity in content contribution and consumption due to excessive site levels

The SharePoint environment primarily served as an intranet platform, with regional and departmental sites for collaboration and information sharing. The primary objective of the migration was to enhance collaboration and modernize the intranet platform.

Solution

YASH Technologies leveraged a combination of tools and technologies to execute the migration and redesign:

• ShareGate for content migration
• Office 365 SharePoint Online for the new intranet site
• SharePoint 2010 for legacy data extraction
• PowerShell for automation
• SharePoint Framework (SPFx) for customizations
