As the cloud is becoming more pervasive and with the growth of Office 365, migration projects have a different level of complexity, adding to the existing challenges of budget overruns, unexpected down time, and reliance on the business user community for validation. Statistics indicate that 84% of migration projects fail. With unabated growth in unstructured and semi-structured content, departmental silos of information, and a lack of enterprise processes to manage content, a migration project is often in jeopardy before it begins.

Join Jill Hannemann, Practice Director for Advisory Services at Portal Solutions, who is an industry recognized expert on the topics of portal strategy, governance and information architecture, and Don Miller, Vice President of Commercial Accounts at Concept Searching, as they cover all aspects of migration in SharePoint.

In this webinar, a focus on both technical and business issues will be discussed. Portal Solutions will provide best practices and approaches based on its expertise, and will explore the business case for how migration adds value and delivers ROI. The key challenges that need to be overcome before migration, and the need for an understanding of the steps involved during the migration, will be shared with attendees.

Understand what is meant by the term ‘intelligent migration’ and why Concept Searching’s conceptClassifier for SharePoint platform and conceptClassifier for Office 365 platform are being used to facilitate the migration process through automatic semantic metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy management tools.
