The project involved migrating an on-premises SharePoint 2013 system used by the entire faculty and student body to SharePoint Online.

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 6th Street Consulting, specialists with Microsoft SharePoint and Teams, today announces the successful completion of a comprehensive digital migration project for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). The project involved migrating an on-premises SharePoint 2013 system used by the entire faculty and student body to SharePoint Online.

The project scope included a complex identity management system for approximately 500,000 identities with 85,000 active users. ERAU's primary identity management platform is provided by Oracle (Identity and Access Management – IAM). A solution was developed to regularly synchronize identities and additional metadata across Oracle's identity management, Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, and SharePoint User Profiles.

With the help and partnership of 6th Street Consulting, we were able to execute a migration, redesign, and content consolidation within a minimal timeframe. The team was focused on providing a high-end user experience while utilizing innovative cloud solutions and processes.

This project encompassed custom SharePoint solutions enabling custom security capabilities, integration with many external applications, and manual redesign and rebuilding of 1,000 classic pages to take advantage of Modern SharePoint pages. The project successfully reorganized the information architecture, consolidating approximately 200 subsites into 79 site collections, linked seamlessly utilizing a Hub-site architecture.

An innovative feature of the project was the development of custom role/location-based content targeting, also known as "impersonation", that allows staff and faculty to view content based on their role and/or location dynamically and in real-time.

6th Street Consulting further implemented custom "modern" search functionality, replacing the legacy integration solution with an Azure cloud-based services API, offering restricted and open access. In addition, API integration provides an at-a-glance experience for students to quickly see their enrollment status, action items, and flight/meal credits without logging into separate systems. This extensible framework now supports approximately six external systems, including PeopleSoft, TeamDynamix, Workday, Atrium, Azure AD, and Microsoft Graph.

The system's launch saw an impressive response, with around 20,000 active users within a few hours, resulting in more than 300,000 SharePoint REST API requests. To address the throttling of SharePoint REST API calls by Microsoft, the team at 6th Street Consulting was able to swiftly build and deploy a solution to provide the same level of functionality while reducing SharePoint REST API calls by over 90%.

Ro Kolakowski, CEO of 6th Street Consulting, said, "We take immense pride in our collaboration with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on this digital transformation of significant scale. Embry-Riddle's dedication to innovation and providing an optimal digital experience for their community resonates with our commitment to excellence and client success.

Amanda Murawski, Executive Director of Web Strategy at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University said, "With the help and partnership of 6th Street Consulting, we were able to execute a migration, redesign, and content consolidation within a minimal timeframe. The team was focused on providing a high-end user experience while utilizing innovative cloud solutions and processes."
