As the leader in the content management space, Microsoft SharePoint offers an unmistakable depth and breadth of functionality that works well on its own, but when combined with Microsoft’s comprehensive suite of cloud offerings, it can deliver a complete legacy transformation that is exponentially more powerful.
SharePoint Online offers a wide range of advanced integrations, applications, and services that organizations can only enjoy by migrating from on-premises SharePoint:
Migrating from SharePoint On-premise to SharePoint Online
It is not always easy or straightforward to approach a legacy modernization project. In order to modernize legacy processes and improve business processes, moving from SharePoint on-prem to SharePoint Online is an essential first step.
A Legacy Migration’s Benefits
When you migrate from SharePoint on-premises or another legacy system to SharePoint Online, you will immediately see tangible benefits such as increased productivity, enhanced security, and improved communication, which ultimately will lead to complete digital transformation. There are several benefits to upgrading to SharePoint Online:
It is true that migration has a financial cost, and certainly requires preparation and effort, but maintaining the status quo also has a cost.
Sticking with the status quo carries other risks, some of them less obvious:
Security: In the absence of patches, your organization and its data are no longer protected from hackers and malicious software.
Productivity: When you remain on-premises, you miss out on innovative ways to enhance the work experience for your end users. Furthermore, mobile and remote workers cannot access content effectively.
Digital Transformation: By automating document-based business processes, modern organizations differentiate themselves by streamlining data flow and document management. Using a legacy system to accomplish this is next to impossible.
Whether traditional, hybrid, or distributed teams, if you’re looking to embrace new technologies to grow at an unparalleled pace, Microsoft SharePoint is the app for you.
