Business Situation:

This insurance company required consolidating and migrating their content from two legacy portals to SharePoint Online.

Solution Story:

Imaginet led this client through a complex task of consolidating and migrating content to SharePoint Online. Imaginet executed a Portal Transition Planning Quickstart that included a Strategy Briefing Session, an Architecture Briefing session, and a current state analysis of both environments.

Imaginet then developed a 3-phase migration strategy, including a standardized security approach, operational governance, and site ownership of the environment. A Developer Plan was assembled to build an integrated site taxonomy with a consistent look and feel throughout the entire solution. Imaginet also built the Policy Acknowledgement system with notifications and dashboards for Managers, HR, and Legal departments.

• Implementation – Phase 1:
  Migrated Legacy SharePoint to the newest version of SharePoint
  Deployed Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to enable single sign-on

• Implementation – Phase 3:
  Federated with Office 365 authentication services
  Used 3rd party tooling to migrate all content, including version history, comments, custom columns, and content types.

Total Duration: 1 year
