SharePoint Migration

St Clements has been running SharePoint successfully for a number of years, both as an intranet for their staff, and as an extranet for their customers. St Clements had worked with the PointBeyond team before so when they needed to migrate the SharePoint environment to new servers, PointBeyond was the natural choice.

Hayden Wells, IT Manager at St Clements explained the choice: “We had found engaging with the PointBeyond team in the past to be very beneficial to us. They took the time to understand what we wanted, didn’t try to sell us features or services that we didn’t need, and delivered a great solution for a sensible price”. St Clements had been experiencing some hardware issues with their SharePoint servers, so migrating to the new platform was critically important.

Hayden describes the issues they faced: “Our hardware issues meant that some of the normal migration approaches weren’t available to us. PointBeyond experts were able to suggest an alternative approach straight away, and when that hit difficulties they were able to find yet another technique that worked without any problems”.
