# Case Study: SharePoint & M365 Migrations

Modernizing enterprise collaboration and storage through Microsoft 365

### Client Overview

A mid-sized professional services firm relied on Dropbox, Egnyte, Google Workspace, and on-prem file servers to manage daily operations. The IT environment was fragmented, increasing operational complexity and impeding secure collaboration. They needed a scalable solution to unify infrastructure, reduce support load, and enhance productivity.

### Objectives

- Consolidate file and email services under Microsoft 365
- Minimize business disruption during migration
- Strengthen compliance, backup, and access control
- Enable centralized collaboration with Microsoft Teams

### Solution Strategy

- Provisioned a temporary VM to act as a synchronized landing zone for Egnyte and local file server data
- Used Egnyte’s API and command-line tools to batch-export permissions and files to the sync VM
- Ran Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) with JSON-based mapping to import content into SharePoint document libraries
- Automated pre/post migration checks and permissions auditing via PowerShell and Graph API
- Staged migration of mail and calendar data using MigrationWiz with coexistence enabled between Google Workspace and Exchange Online
- Provided Teams onboarding with channel templates and cross-platform training

### Results

- 12.4 TB of content migrated across four platforms in under 90 days
- Zero data loss or permission mismatches confirmed via script-based audits
- Helpdesk load cut by 40% within the first month post-migration
- Fully adopted Microsoft Teams structure with defined department-based channels and integrated file repositories
- End-user training boosted post-migration satisfaction to 97%
