My first interview: 'SharePoint Migration to Office 365'

Today I had my very first (recorded) interview. Thomas Maier from Office365akademie.de asked me some very interesting questions how to migrate from SharePoint 2007-2016 to SharePoint Online/Office 365. We talked almost 30 minutes about all challenges (there are more, of course!) you might encounter. Good fun!

Go check the video here (in German):

Topcis & questions

• What are the pain points of a migration?
• What are showstoppers? What can’t be migrated?
• Do you recommend going hybrid as temporary or even permanent solution?
• What’s your oppionion about the new migration tool for SharePoint?
• What other tools are available from Microsoft?
• When do you think that 3rd party tools are required?
• What can be done by the IT department? When does it make sense to contact a partner?
• Migrations from public cloud to German cloud? Is that possible?

So that was fun today - thanks Thomas for having me!
