Thyssenkrupp – SharePoint migration to Microsoft 365

Thyssenkrupp, a globally operating manufacturing company, had been using SharePoint for several years to store and manage its internal documents, workflows, and collaboration activities. However, with the growing need for remote work and the company’s plans to transition to cloud-based solutions, it decided to migrate its SharePoint environment to Microsoft 365.

The challenges:

The migration process posed several challenges for Thyssenkrupp. Firstly, the company’s SharePoint environment was complex and included multiple customized workflows and integrations with other business systems. Secondly, the company had a large amount of data stored in SharePoint, making the migration process time-consuming and complex. Thirdly, Thyssenkrupp needed to ensure that the migration process did not disrupt ongoing business operations.

The solution:

To address these challenges, Thyssenkrupp engaged Rocketta’s team of SharePoint experts, who possessed extensive experience in migrating SharePoint to Microsoft 365. The team conducted a detailed analysis of the existing SharePoint environment and developed a comprehensive migration plan, which included the following steps:

1. Evaluation of the existing SharePoint environment: The SharePoint experts assessed the existing SharePoint environment to identify the customizations, workflows, and integrations that needed to be migrated to Microsoft 365.
2. Development of a migration plan: Based on the evaluation, the experts developed a migration plan outlining the steps for migrating the SharePoint environment to Microsoft 365. The plan included a detailed timeline, resource requirements, and strategies for risk mitigation.
3. Migration of data to Microsoft 365: Rocketta migrated the SharePoint data using Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Tool to Microsoft 365. They also ensured that the data was correctly mapped and that all customizations and workflows were successfully migrated.
4. Testing and validation: The team conducted extensive testing and validation to ensure that the migrated SharePoint environment was set up correctly and that all workflows and integrations functioned as expected.
5. Employee training: Upon completion of the migration, the SharePoint experts provided training to the company’s employees to ensure they were familiar with the new Microsoft 365 environment.

The results:

The migration process was completed within the specified timeframe, and the SharePoint environment was successfully migrated to Microsoft 365. Rocketta’s SharePoint experts ensured that the migration process did not disrupt ThyssenKrupp’s ongoing business operations.

Rocketta migrated all data to Microsoft 365 and ensured that all customizations, workflows, and integrations were successfully migrated. Extensive testing and validation showed that the configuration of the SharePoint environment had been successfully completed and that key features such as workflows were functioning correctly. During the subsequent training sessions for ThyssenKrupp employees, Rocketta’s team ensured that the client was familiarized with the new environment.

By migrating to Microsoft 365, Thyssenkrupp now benefits from a cloud-based SharePoint environment that enables easy collaboration, remote work, and scalability. The company can now collaborate on documents and other files in real-time, regardless of their location. Microsoft 365 also offers automatic software updates and security enhancements, eliminating the need for the company to allocate resources to maintain its SharePoint environment.

In summary, the SharePoint migration to Microsoft 365 was a success for Thyssenkrupp. The company can now leverage the cloud-based environment to streamline its workflows, improve collaboration, and increase productivity. The migration plan developed by the SharePoint experts ensured that the process was conducted efficiently and effectively while minimizing disruptions to the company’s operations.
