So this is what you got:

5. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
SharePoint 2003

6. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
SharePoint 2007

7. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
Where do you want to go?

8. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
Some facts:
 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

9. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
Upgrade or Migrate – that is the
question!

10. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
What can be upgraded?

11. 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)

12. WWW.SPBIZCONF.COM
What about upgrade from
2003 / 2007?

13. 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

So what about the migration..

20. 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

21. 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.
