SharePoint Migration Services
SharePoint migration services help organizations move content from file shares, legacy SharePoint, or other repositories into a secure Microsoft 365 environment. 6SC plans the migration, cleans up source content, maps permissions, tests results, and supports adoption after launch.
Service overview
6SC provides SharePoint migration consulting for organizations that want more than a lift-and-shift. We help define the target architecture, decide what should move, preserve important metadata, reduce content clutter, plan permissions, test migration results, and prepare users for the new way of working.
Migration planning
Inventory source content, identify risks, define the target site structure, and plan migration waves. Read our guide to avoiding common SharePoint migration pitfalls.
Content and permissions mapping
Map libraries, metadata, owners, access groups, and retention-sensitive content before moving data.
Testing and adoption
Validate migrated content, support cutover, train users, and stabilize the new SharePoint environment.
Who it is for
This service is for organizations moving to SharePoint Online or reorganizing existing SharePoint content into a cleaner, governed Microsoft 365 platform.

6SC approach
6SC migration work is built around business continuity and long-term SharePoint usability, not just moving files from one location to another.

Inventory sources, identify owners, classify content, define risks, and decide what should migrate, archive, or be rebuilt.
Design and prepare
Create target sites, libraries, metadata, permissions, navigation, migration waves, test plans, and communication materials.
Migrate and stabilize
Execute waves, validate content, resolve exceptions, support cutover, and help users adopt the new environment.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a SharePoint migration?
A migration can include discovery, source cleanup, target architecture, metadata planning, permissions mapping, migration wave planning, testing, cutover, training, and post-launch support.
Can 6SC migrate file shares to SharePoint Online?
Yes. 6SC can help plan and execute file share migrations into SharePoint Online, including structure, ownership, permissions, metadata, and user adoption.
How do we avoid moving outdated content?
A good migration includes content inventory and owner decisions before migration. 6SC helps teams identify what to migrate, archive, delete, or rebuild.
Will SharePoint permissions migrate cleanly?
Permissions often need redesign rather than one-to-one copying. 6SC maps access needs into a SharePoint permission model that is simpler, safer, and easier to support.
How long does a SharePoint migration take?
Timing depends on content volume, source quality, permissions complexity, business availability, and testing needs. 6SC typically recommends phased migration waves to reduce disruption.
What happens after migration?
Post-migration work should include validation, support, user training, governance routines, and improvement planning so the new SharePoint environment remains useful.
