Microsoft SharePoint Migration Services @YASH

Microsoft SharePoint has quickly become the preferred collaboration platform of choice for most global organizations seeking to enhance their collaboration, social computing, and composite application initiatives. With the release of SharePoint 2010, additional features including an improved user interface, rich media support, and multiple browser support have provided compelling reasons for migration.

However, there can be many contributing factors on whether a migration is successful or not including: downtime, possible loss of data, customizations, and lack of skilled resources. Moreover, the complexity of the current environment, presence of multiple SharePoint 2003 and 2007 versions, and other content management platforms such as Documentum, etc. can make the migration exercise a complex and time-intensive process.

YASH Technologies has extensive experience working with organizations facing a wide variety of migration and integration challenges. Our team of Microsoft experts can help develop a migration roadmap and help execute the plan to maximize ROI and reduce time-to-market for your SharePoint investments.
