So this is what you got:

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

SharePoint 2003

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

SharePoint 2007

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Where do you want to go?

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Some facts:

Upgrade?

Or

Migrate?

SharePoint doesn’t support upgrading straight from 2003 or MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2013. You first have to go trough SharePoint 2007 - >2010.

SharePoint 2013 doesn’t support «In-Place upgrade». Which is a good thing!

SharePoint 2013 supports «database attach» which arrived with SharePoint 2010

SharePoint 2013 supports upgrade of some of the Service Applications

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Upgrade or Migrate – that is the question!

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

What can be upgraded?

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

What can be upgraded? SharePoint Web applications/content

Custom Code

Service Applications

Search administration

Business Data Connectivity

Managed Metadata

PerformancePoint

Secure Store

User Profile (Profile, Social, and Sync databases)

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

What about upgrade from 2003 / 2007?

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

I have SharePoint 2003 / 2007… Should I skip 2010?

You can’t skip 2010, because SharePoint doesn’t support upgrading straight from 2003 or MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

So what should you do instead…

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Move Forward

Don’t Upgrade

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

Move Forward Migrate

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

So what about the migration..

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

We’re upgrading to a newer version of SharePoint

Why are we talking about migration?

We’re upgrading our hardware on prem, and also looking at the cloud

We can use this as an opportunity to clean up our IA and governance

WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM

How to migrate If you don’t want to go run trough every version of SharePoint to get to the last version, it’s plenty 

migration tools that support migration from all the way back to 2003/2007.  Under i have linked some options (it’s many more), you need to look at the differences, and choose 

the one which is right for you. This can change from project to project and the task you have in front of you.
