Thousands of Content-file migrations from an existing workflow
establishment to OneDrive/SharePoint for a leading European Manufacturing organization
Background
Our prominent client is a leading European Manufacturing
organization. For more than 3 decades, our client has been manufacturing industrial
products with some respective secondary sub-products and also supplies appliances that
can boost the assembly line in all SKUs. In addition to the above product stack, their IT infrastructure currently
functions with their custom Software as a Service (SaaS) document management
applications and that is the area of function where revamping & automation is required.
Considering the Modern Enterprise workflow & the need for the hour,
our prominent client had the following in-house content migration requirements:
- Setting up a Smooth & New Content Migration pipeline with the density of thousands
of data & files in-flow.
- Migration of current Jive personal content including secondary File Share to
OneDrive.
- As per the current ecosystem, the files & their respective content had to be
migrated into the derived expectant OneDrive environment keeping in mind their per
customer's requirements in various SKUs.
Business Challenge
Considering the current ecosystem, our team faced a major hurdle
because the current
internal & external collaboration wasn't on a single platform. It was supposed to be
standardized and we have to ensure its determination. Our client’s team was very much
enthusiastic about new upgrades and best-in-the-market place “Microsoft Office 365” and
they desired to move forward with it. Being in the business for a longer period of time,
their Jive Personal content has been the only platform for content collaboration and it
was widely used by their resources and respective clients. So, the second major obstacle
was to ensure a smooth & seamless transition of Jive Personal Content and their
customer’s file data content over to a new OneDrive environment. Overall, a seamless,
smooth & swift transition with minimal impact on the current ecosystem was the need of
the hour for our growth team at SOFTVANLABS. The biggest challenges were the Links that
were maintained in Excel for Financial documents which reference internally needed to be
preserved.
Proposed Solution
After several brainstorming sessions in order to accomplish this
turnkey migration
project and to achieve these objectives, SOFTVANLABS engaged & moved forward with its
global migration services & approaches. SOFTVANLABS deployed its 360° services
methodology using a migration tool and was able to deliver the end-to-end migration on
time and within the budgetary needs of the client.
Key Modules

proven critical & successful in each such migration requirement:

existing FileShare environment,
and then the
assessment process where our team proposes a proof-of-concept migration of a Pilot
FileShare content(s) with a schedule for the migration process.

FileShare data and make
any necessary custom adjustments if it is required from within the source.
- Main Migrate Module:- Migrating all the data from FileShare
to the new

subtle transfer.
- Configure User Experience:- Configure user Experience in their
OneDrive for business so they are get familiar experience of M:\ or X:\ as their
network share.
- Configure Device :- policies for auto clean data every 30 days
for unused space using System Center Group policy.
