A portal migration can be a stressful time – it’s an enormous project that can take many months, or even years. It’s very common that organizations don’t have a concrete understanding of what’s going on with their SharePoint environment, which makes the migration process much more challenging.
So, how do we know where to start? We can ease a migration by learning how to leverage analytics, in order to determine which content should be moved first, which can wait, and which content shouldn’t be moved at all. How can we measure portal activity during the migration, and what can we do to measure adoption of the new portal, both during and after the migration?
Analytics can help ease your SharePoint migration by capturing critical data that can give you insights into your SharePoint portal, to help you track and analyze each step of the SharePoint migration process.
