Migration from Legacy Tech to Fuel Business Productivity

Introduction

Our client is a world-renowned technology company that provides integrated solutions across electrification, process automation, motion, and robotics & discrete automation business areas. The corporation has a strong foothold in more than 100 countries and continuously contributes its deep domain expertise to further data-driven decision-making in worldwide organizations.

Challenge

A technology leader with a 130-year-old history of working with manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure, our client is driving the transformation of industries towards a more sustainable future and focuses on delivering new services and solutions that match their customers’ needs. They requested support with the modernization of dated solutions as they critically lacked scalability and proper performance, which led to stalled business productivity and user experiences.

Among the technical challenges, the client faced the need to:

• Modernize legacy IT landscape that was composed of classic network drives and a Lotus Note-based email.
• Build complex multi-farm scenarios, including SharePoint Online and on-premise.
• Conduct multiple migrations and support on-premise upgrades and accomplish migration to SharePoint Online.
• Amplify the solution’s scalability and accommodate it for comfortable use.

The company needed an experienced technology partner to address these technical challenges. Our team of experts worked closely with the enterprise to analyze their expectations and develop a suitable approach to the modernization of their legacy IT.

Solution

Process

Assessment and Planning

At first, we analyzed the client’s existing legacy systems, including network drives and Lotus Notes-based email.

Our approach centred on a phased SharePoint legacy system migration strategy, starting with a detailed analysis of the client’s legacy systems and ending with a transition to a modernized SharePoint environment.

Development and Configuration

Our team developed the custom migration scripts to extract data from the legacy systems. We configured the SharePoint Online and on-premise environments.

We then performed rigorous testing of the migration scripts, the configured SharePoint environment, and the authentication mechanisms to support data integrity, system stability, and security.

Migration and Optimization

The final stage involved the execution of the data migration from the legacy systems to the new SharePoint environment using the developed scripts. This was followed by user onboarding and support.

Post-migration, our team focused on optimizing the SharePoint environment based on user feedback and performance monitoring. We also provided support to empower the client to effectively utilize and manage their new SharePoint environment.

Results

We assisted a global digital transformation leader in modernizing their information architecture with SharePoint.
