The Challenge
The City of Adelaide launched a three-year plan to modernise their IT infrastructure. This modernisation plan included moving to Office 365, SharePoint Online and bringing their legacy apps into the cloud.
The City of Adelaide uses a customised SharePoint environment with automated workflows for a variety of functions such as finance, IT, HR, risk and governance, as well as their customer centers knowledgebase.
Anthony Criscitelli, Configuration Analyst with the City of Adelaide, wanted to take advantage of the new fiber network and make the organisation’s intranet available 24/7 anytime, anywhere for their 800 active users.
One of the City Council’s main challenges was the amount of non-essential data contained in their environment from years of heavy SharePoint use.
With 100 GB of data their SharePoint environment, Anthony decided to make the migration project an opportunity to take a close look at the organisation’s data and evaluate what needed to be migrated and what could be left behind.
After utilising DocAve Migrator for their migration from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 and based on the success and ease of use, City of Adelaide were confident that DocAve Migrator was the right solution for their migration to the cloud.
“We found the experience very easy, seamless and easy to manage. It really came down to choosing best of breed and AvePoint came out clear. It just made sense to say this is the product to use to go into the cloud,” said City of Adelaide Configuration Analyst, Anthony Criscitelli.
