SharePoint and Teams Migration Tools May Deliver Disappointing Results

HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and Microsoft expert, helps readers understand the relationships between Microsoft SharePoint sites, Teams, and Groups in a new article. The informative article first explains how SharePoint provides the underlying engine for Teams and Groups but how customization complicates that relationship.

The author urges readers to fully document their Microsoft environments before migrating. He then urges them to choose the right migration tool, understanding the links between the organization's SharePoint sites, Teams and Groups.

"No one wants to discover after a SharePoint and Teams migration that essential files and features have been lost in the process," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "With careful planning and the right tools, organizations can ensure a smooth transition to the new environment."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "SharePoint and Teams Migration Tools May Deliver Disappointing Results."

Understanding SharePoint Sites, Teams and Groups

"To begin with, organizations need to understand some essentials about Microsoft Groups, Teams and SharePoint sites and how they interact. At the basic level, SharePoint provides the underlying engine for Teams and Groups. For instance, every time someone creates a Team or a Group, the system automatically creates an associated SharePoint site."

Document the Environment Before Migrating

"Because migration tools handle Teams, Groups and SharePoint sites differently, organizations need to create a detailed map of the items to be migrated. This includes identifying each Team, Group and SharePoint site, as well as the connections between them. Start with a list of SharePoint sites, as that will also include all Teams and Groups."

Use the Right Tool

"With a map of the environment in hand, you can determine the right migration tool to use. Without an understanding of the links between the organization's SharePoint sites, Teams and Groups, however, you risk choosing the wrong tool. In that case, the migration may miss critical information that exists outside the Teams structure."

Untangle the Complexities of SharePoint and Teams Migration

"Microsoft collaboration tools have revolutionized the way people work. Tools such as SharePoint and Teams offer endless opportunities to create environments tailored to work processes and business needs. But all that flexibility and functionality adds the potential for very complex migrations."
