If your company has a few hundred gigabytes of files on shared drives, the migration usually takes about a month. Moving a large SharePoint 2013 or 2016 environment with custom workflows and forms can take three to five months, because those features need to be rebuilt first.

Our SharePoint migration services use Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Tool, Migration Manager, or ShareGate, depending on where your files are coming from. We move content in batches, usually during evenings or weekends. The old system stays in read-only mode until each team confirms that everything has moved correctly.

It’s also worth cleaning up files before migration. Shared drives often contain documents nobody has opened in five years or more. We can archive these instead of moving everything, which saves time and gives your team a cleaner new environment.

A SharePoint consultant helps plan how the platform should work for your company. This includes site structure, permissions, governance, and migration planning. SharePoint consulting also means deciding when built-in features are enough and when custom development is worth the cost.

Consultants work with both business teams and IT. They learn how HR, finance, and project teams handle documents and approvals, then turn those needs into clear requirements for developers. This helps make sure the final solution is useful in everyday work.

By the end of the project, you usually have a content audit, site map, governance guide, and migration roadmap. If you already have in-house developers, a consultant can also review their work and suggest improvements based on current Microsoft guidance.

One in-house developer may know your current SharePoint setup well, but a SharePoint consulting company brings experience from a wider range of projects. Our team has worked on migrations, intranets, SPFx development, and Power Platform solutions, so we can apply what we’ve learned to your project.

You also get more flexibility. Our SharePoint consulting services can provide several specialists during a large migration and then switch to a smaller support team. If you want to expand your internal team instead, our dedicated SharePoint developers can join your existing processes, tools, and sprints.

This approach also helps control costs. You pay for the skills you need while you need them, without hiring a full-time developer for a one-time project. We document everything, so your internal team can confidently manage the platform on its own.

Start with built-in SharePoint features whenever they cover what you need. Modern pages, Microsoft Lists, and Power Automate can handle company news, document libraries, and simple approvals. They also get regular updates, and your admins can manage them without writing code.

SPFx makes sense when you need custom branding, live data from other systems, or more complex forms. Our SharePoint development services keep custom code focused and properly tested. If your main goal is to improve business processes, our business process automation team can help you choose the right tools.

Custom components also need ongoing maintenance. SPFx gets updates several times a year, and Microsoft sometimes retires older APIs. We document each component and keep its packages up to date as part of our support work, so everything keeps working after updates.

Yes. Our SharePoint migration services cover file shares, Box, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Lotus Notes. We can move folders, document versions, and permissions from file storage systems. For Lotus Notes, we move the documents and data first, then handle the application logic separately.

Lotus Notes databases often contain years of business rules built into forms and agents. We review how they work and rebuild the required features in Power Apps or SPFx. If an older application needs more extensive work, our legacy application modernization service can help.
