Making the switch from SharePoint to a more modern intranet solution can seem daunting. With years of content, documents, and workflows tied up in SharePoint, many businesses worry about how to migrate smoothly to a new platform without disrupting their operations. However, with the right planning and tools, migrating to MangoApps can be a seamless process that delivers immediate benefits for your organization.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to ensure a smooth migration from SharePoint to MangoApps, helping you unlock the full potential of a modern employee experience platform without the headaches.
Step 1: Assess Your Current SharePoint Setup
Before you begin the migration process, it’s essential to assess your current SharePoint environment. Take stock of your existing content, document libraries, workflows, and user permissions to determine what needs to be migrated and what can be left behind. This is also an opportunity to identify any redundant or outdated content that no longer serves your organization.
By cleaning up your SharePoint environment before migrating, you can ensure a smoother, more efficient migration process and reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred to MangoApps.
Step 2: Plan Your Migration Strategy
Once you’ve assessed your SharePoint environment, it’s time to create a migration strategy. Consider the following questions:
- What content needs to be migrated? Decide which documents, pages, and workflows are critical to your business and should be transferred to MangoApps.
- How will you organize your content in MangoApps? Take advantage of MangoApps’ flexible content management tools to reorganize your data in a way that makes it easier for employees to access and engage with.
- What is your timeline for migration? Set a realistic timeline for the migration process, factoring in time for testing and employee training.
By planning your migration strategy in advance, you can minimize disruption and ensure that your team is prepared for the switch.
