What We Do
01
Content migrated with fidelity
We migrate sites, libraries, lists, metadata, content types, and permissions while preserving the structure teams use daily.

Our SharePoint Migration Methodology
Free consultation & assessment
We review your SharePoint farm — version, sites, content volume, customisations, workflows, and InfoPath — and scope the migration. No cost, no obligation.
arm inventory & modernisation decisions
We inventory every site, customisation, workflow, and form, and decide for each: migrate as-is, modernise (SPFx/Power Automate/Power Apps), or retire.
Pilot migration
We migrate a representative site or two to validate content fidelity, permissions, metadata, and any modernised components before scaling.
Content migration in waves
We migrate sites in scheduled waves — by department, function, or priority — with incremental sync so content stays current until cutover.
Customisation modernisation
We rebuild farm solutions on SPFx, workflows on Power Automate, and InfoPath on Power Apps — tested with users before go-live.
Site modernisation
We modernise classic sites to modern SharePoint, configure hub site architecture, and set up modern navigation and pages.
Validation, training & decommission
We validate migration completeness, permissions, metadata, search behaviour, workflow execution, form functionality, and user acceptance before go-live. After cutover, we support training, issue triage, monitoring, and controlled decommissioning of on-premises SharePoint Server.
It starts with a free SharePoint migration assessment. No obligation.
Why Star Knowledge

Workflow rebuild | Power Automate, production-grade | Not offered | Capacity-limited |
InfoPath replacement | Power Apps / SPFx forms | Ignored | Neglected |
Site modernisation | Classic → modern + hub architecture | Not offered | Ad-hoc |
Permissions mapping | Adapted for SPO + Entra ID | Basic or broken | Risky |
Copilot readiness | Content indexed for AI | N/A | Not considered |
Track record | 100+ SharePoint migrations | Tool vendor | First-time |

Insights
On-Premises SharePoint Is Holding You Back (2026)
In 2026, many organisations still running SharePoint Server are missing the advantages of Microsoft 365: modern sites, Teams integration, Power Automate, Microsoft Search, and Copilot-ready content experiences. SharePoint Server 2013 is out of support, while newer server versions require careful planning as organisations weigh maintenance, security, and modern collaboration needs.
01
Features are online-only — modern sites, Copilot, AI search, Loop, and Teams integration require SharePoint Online
02
03
What about our custom SharePoint solutions that won't run online?
This is the #1 migration blocker — and exactly what we specialise in. Farm solutions, sandboxed solutions, classic web parts, SharePoint 2010/2013 workflows, and InfoPath forms don’t run in SharePoint Online. They need to be assessed and either rebuilt on modern frameworks (SPFx, Power Automate, Power Apps), replaced with OOTB capabilities, or retired. We do this systematically as part of every migration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a SharePoint on-prem to online migration include?
We migrate sites, libraries, lists, metadata, content types, managed metadata, permissions, and pages to SharePoint Online, then modernise farm solutions, workflows, InfoPath forms, and classic sites.
What happens to our farm solutions and custom code?
Farm solutions, sandboxed solutions, and event receivers do not run in SharePoint Online. We assess each one, then rebuild on SPFx, replace with out-of-the-box capabilities, or retire it.
Can you migrate our SharePoint workflows?
Yes. We rebuild SharePoint 2010/2013, Nintex, and K2 workflows on Power Automate for approvals, notifications, and multi-step cloud processes.
What about our InfoPath forms?
We replace deprecated InfoPath forms with Power Apps for data-entry and process forms or SPFx forms for embedded SharePoint experiences.
Will we lose metadata, content types, or managed metadata?
No. We migrate metadata, site columns, content types, and managed metadata to SharePoint Online, then validate them for search, governance, and Copilot readiness.
How much does a SharePoint on-prem to online migration cost?
Cost depends on site count, content volume, workflows, forms, and customisation complexity. The estimator uses $400–$600 per day for an indicative range; consultation validates the final plan.
How long does the migration take?
Timing depends on volume and complexity. Small migrations may take 3–6 weeks, mid-size projects 2–4 months, and enterprise migrations 4–8 months; customisation modernisation usually drives effort.
Can we migrate incrementally, not all at once?
Yes. We migrate in waves by department or priority, using incremental sync so content stays current until cutover and users move site by site.
