SharePoint & M365 Migration Services
Seamlessly migrate your SharePoint environments from on-premises to the cloud, or execute complex cross-tenant migrations with zero data loss and minimal downtime.
Transform Your SharePoint Environment with Confidence
Moving from on-premises SharePoint to Microsoft 365 isn’t just a technical lift-and-shift. It’s an opportunity to modernize how your organization collaborates, eliminate technical debt accumulated over years, and unlock the full potential of cloud-based productivity tools. But migration done wrong means lost content, broken permissions, confused users, and costly downtime.
At Hublattice, we’ve successfully migrated hundreds of organizations from legacy SharePoint environments to modern, cloud-based platforms. Our proven methodology ensures your content, metadata, permissions, and custom functionality transition seamlessly while positioning your organization for long-term success in Microsoft 365.
Why Migration Expertise Matters
The SharePoint migration landscape is filled with horror stories: content that vanishes, permissions that break, workflows that stop working, and projects that drag on for months past their deadlines. These failures stem from treating migration as a purely technical exercise rather than a strategic initiative requiring deep expertise in both legacy and modern platforms.
Our team understands the nuances of SharePoint architecture across every version from 2010 forward. We know which customizations will transfer cleanly and which require complete redesign. We’ve solved the permission mapping challenges that trip up less experienced consultants. And we’ve developed automated remediation tools that identify and fix issues before they become migration blockers.
More Than Just Moving Files
A successful SharePoint migration accomplishes several critical objectives simultaneously. First, it moves your content and preserves the institutional knowledge embedded in your sites, lists, and document libraries. Second, it modernizes your information architecture to take advantage of hub sites, modern pages, and improved search capabilities. Third, it eliminates years of accumulated technical debt by cleaning up orphaned content, rationalizing permissions, and standardizing metadata.
We approach every migration as a transformation project. During the discovery phase, we don’t just count files and measure storage. We analyze how your organization actually uses SharePoint, identify pain points in your current structure, and design a target architecture that solves real business problems. The result is a modern SharePoint environment that’s cleaner, faster, and more intuitive than what you’re leaving behind.
Our Migration Methodology
Our five-phase methodology has been refined through hundreds of successful migrations. Discovery and assessment gives us complete visibility into your environment, including the hidden complexity that often derails projects. We inventory every site collection, identify all customizations, map external dependencies, and measure content volume to create an accurate scope and timeline.
Migration planning translates discovery findings into a detailed execution plan. We design your target Microsoft 365 architecture, establish migration waves that minimize business disruption, create rollback procedures for every scenario, and build communication plans that keep stakeholders informed throughout the project.
Content remediation happens before migration begins. Our automated tools identify broken links, orphaned items, permission anomalies, and metadata inconsistencies. We work with your content owners to clean up ROT content, restructure sites for optimal performance, and normalize metadata schemas. This prep work is what separates successful migrations from problematic ones.
Migration execution uses enterprise-grade tools combined with our custom automation scripts. We migrate content in controlled waves, monitor progress in real-time, validate data fidelity after each wave, and resolve issues immediately rather than letting them accumulate. Our staged approach means users experience minimal disruption and can continue working throughout the migration process.
Validation and optimization ensures everything works correctly in your new environment. We verify 100% content fidelity through automated comparison tools, test permissions across user scenarios, optimize search configuration, and provide hands-on validation sessions where users confirm they can access critical content. We don’t consider a migration complete until you’re confident everything works perfectly.
Specialized Migration Scenarios
Cross-tenant migrations present unique challenges, especially in merger and acquisition scenarios where you’re consolidating multiple Microsoft 365 tenants. We’ve developed specialized expertise in these complex migrations, handling domain conflicts, identity mapping, and service integration while maintaining security boundaries during the transition period.
Hybrid migrations let you maintain some content on-premises while moving other workloads to the cloud. We configure hybrid search, set up business connectivity services, and ensure seamless user experience regardless of where content resides. This approach works well for organizations with compliance requirements or network constraints that prevent full cloud migration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical SharePoint migration take?
Migration timelines vary based on data volume and complexity. A small organization (under 500GB) typically completes in 4-6 weeks, while enterprise migrations can span 3-6 months. We create detailed project plans during discovery that provide accurate timelines for your specific environment.
Will our users experience downtime during migration?
Our migration methodology minimizes user disruption. For most projects, we use staged migration approaches where content is synchronized in the background while users continue working. The final cutover typically happens during off-hours and takes only minutes.
What happens to our customizations and workflows?
We assess all customizations during discovery and provide recommendations for each. SharePoint Designer workflows must be redesigned in Power Automate, while custom solutions may need refactoring for modern SharePoint. We document every customization and create a remediation plan before migration begins.
Can you migrate from SharePoint 2010 or 2013?
Yes, we have extensive experience migrating from legacy SharePoint versions including 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019. Older versions require more remediation work, but our tooling and expertise handle the complexity. We'll assess upgrade paths during discovery and recommend the most efficient approach.
How do you handle permissions during migration?
We use automated permission mapping to translate on-premises Active Directory groups to cloud identities (Azure AD groups, Microsoft 365 groups, or SharePoint groups). Our validation process includes permission testing to ensure users retain appropriate access levels post-migration.
What about content that shouldn't be migrated?
Content remediation is a critical phase where we identify ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial) content. We work with your stakeholders to establish retention criteria, archive what's needed for compliance, and eliminate unnecessary content. This typically reduces migration volume by 30-50% and improves performance in your new environment.
