Many organizations are looking to SharePoint to provide easier access to documents, more robust collaboration and sharing capabilities, versioning, and dynamic records management. These are all features that can benefit most organizations, and are beyond the capacity of the traditional file server.
In this webinar follow up to the April 2016 discussion of planning a migration to SharePoint, Abdul Musa and Johanny Torrico delve into the basics of going through with an implementation. They will provide a robust methodology based on standard Information Architecture (IA) principles for successfully assessing and migrating organizational documents to SharePoint.
To begin to build your new Information Architecture, you must really understand your content. What files does your organization generate? Our methodology will help you draw up an outline of the content types in your organization. A few of our techniques to do this are:

• Perform a content inventory – we will share tools to help you with this.
• Focus on recently modified files
• Separate documents from images and databases. If your content contains a large amount of image files you might want to look for a digital asset management system
•  Interview stakeholders on how content is being used, found, and accessed.
