SharePoint Data Migration Challenges
The usability of Microsoft SharePoint has made it an attractive document management option for today’s organizations. However, the disparities between it and legacy platforms are vast, and the SharePoint data migration challenges create risk uncertainties.
Uncontrolled, multi-site adoption of SharePoint is common, yet often results in data inconsistencies. In addition, SharePoint is being adopted for controlled document management requirements, with significant compliance provisions and little tolerance for error. As such, companies looking to implement SharePoint-based document management across the enterprise have a daunting challenge when it comes to data consolidation.

Does Your Approach Compare to TRUcompare?
Migrations are a complex undertaking and traditional testing approaches often fall short of today’s business and compliance requirements. The ensuing risk can easily result in costly errors. The question is: How sound are your current testing and sampling approaches?
