BUSINESS CHALLENGE
- Our client had more than 10000 communities in the IBM Connections. But they wanted to migrate only the most frequently used sites to SharePoint Online.
- They had to meet the community owners’ in-person to get the details and meeting them on the floor consumed a lot of time.
- Manually collating the list of frequently visited sites was their only option. They encountered accuracy constraints while doing so.
- Many communities in the IBM Connections were interlinked to one another that further increased the complexity.
- In addition to this, they had nested wikis up to 4 levels deep and wanted to replicate the hierarchy as-is in SharePoint Online.
- They were very skeptical about how nested wikis can be migrated to SharePoint as it only supports 2 levels hierarchy in OOTB.
