Assessment and Planning
DMC’s client needed an efficient and seamless transition from File Explorer to SharePoint Online to improve their security and modernize their user experience while leveraging SharePoint’s enhanced file storage capabilities.
Design and Development
To assist the client, DMC held initial sessions to determine the ideal SharePoint Online structure and identify all files to be migrated. DMC also gathered employee information that would be required for the migration of personal folders to OneDrive. After these sessions, DMC methodically planned the site creation and migration timeline, which they then presented to the client team for approval.
Testing and Deployment
Once approved, DMC designed and implemented a custom SharePoint home page based on the customer’s branding. DMC ensured that all sites were locked down before making site changes. They implemented 49 site collections and the corresponding document libraries.
For enhanced security, DMC led the creation of a permissions structure with the client IT team, which was implemented site-wide. With permissions in place and confirmation from the client IT team that the Shared Drives were locked down, DMC migrated 1.3 TB worth of content to SharePoint Online and performed 750+ user migrations to individual OneDrive accounts.
If DMC can assist with any SharePoint Online transition, whether from an existing cloud setup or from a file server like this one, please feel free to reach out, and we’d be happy to help out!
