Take the Challenge Out of Migrating Data to SharePoint

Wendy Henry

Length: 0:09:32 -
The rapid acceptance of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) has introduced a challenge for those companies anxious to implement the product's many features: how to get existing business data currently stored both in previous versions of SharePoint and other systems migrated into MOSS 2007 quickly, easily, and without sacrificing metadata and security.

Microsoft has yet to provide a single, streamlined answer to the migration question and instead focuses on basic upgrade scenarios while also sharing the .NET SharePoint object model that can be used to leverage content migration API's via custom code.

In this podcast, SharePoint expert Wendy Henry talks about the content migration solutions that ship with SharePoint and their shortcomings.

Luckily, Wendy says, SharePoint's popularity in the market has birthed over 2,250 Microsoft Partners committed to producing beneficial third-party add-on's and education tools for this mission-critical collaboration software. Learn why she suggests that you consider purchasing a migration utility from a third party to

- import data from disparate repositories
- re-organize content during a migration
- and manipulate the values being placed into SharePoint

The key qualities to look for in a migration utility, Wendy says, are

- flexibility
- fidelity
- supportability

Learn how, with the right migration tools, such as the suite of Migration Managers for SharePoint offered by Metalogix, you can start taking advantage of your SharePoint investment sooner rather than later.
