There’s a lot of interest around moving to the cloud, and specifically, SharePoint Online.

I’ve blogged about this before with Candace’s Part 1 and Part 2. She just published Part 3 in the series.  Here she focuses on what to do once you’ve extracted and transformed the content.  In other words, getting that web content into the target system.

Last week, at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference, it was mentioned that there are one billion Microsoft Windows and Office users today, and Office 365 is Microsoft’s fastest growing business in its history.

If you read my previous post on Tales from a SharePoint 2010 Migration to 2013, I described a client migration and some of our lessons learned.  At Perficient, we do many SharePoint migrations and we have learned a lot along the way.  Here is a challenge we faced when migrating lists from 2010 to 2013.  […]

I am sure we all have our stories highlighting our experiences upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to 2013.  I have some lessons learned that might be helpful to note when upgrading to SharePoint 2013 and reorganizing the site structure. First, here is the scenario: We were upgrading a fairly large (approx 150GB) single content database farm […]

Now that Windows XP end of life is here, if you are one of those companies still hanging on, there’s likely a bit of panic on what exactly to do. Well there is good news, bad news, and then some more good news. If you are in an industry that has heavy governing compliance, like […]

Beginning on June 2, 2014 Windows Azure will be retiring Windows Server 2008.  This means that you will no longer be able to deploy a new Cloud Service or manage your existing services on virtual machines running Windows Server 2008.
