Client Overview A large entertainment company hires hundreds of seasonal employees each summer....
Overview: A global real estate corporation migrated from its legacy on-premises file share system to a cloud-based storage solution to improve accessibility, security, and scalability. The migration aimed to unify storage locations, streamline file management, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Challenge: The fragmented file share system contained redundant, inconsistent data with misconfigured permissions. Employees resisted new storage protocols, and the transition needed to minimize operational disruption. The new cloud-based system had to integrate seamlessly with existing applications while maintaining security and access control.
Solution: Following BBCH Groups guidelines, the project team engaged stakeholders early and conducted a data audit to remove redundancies and optimize storage. Using ShareGate, SharePoint, and PowerShell, the migration automated file transfers and ensured data integrity. A phased approach minimized disruptions, starting with non-critical files before transitioning core business data. To enhance user adoption, employees received training, and extensive testing validated security, access, and usability. A parallel access period enabled comparison before decommissioning the legacy system.
Outcome: The migration reduced storage costs by 40% and improved global collaboration. Cloud storage enhanced accessibility, reduced infrastructure maintenance, and strengthened regulatory compliance. Effective change management ensured over 95% of employees adapted within three months, positioning the company for increased agility and innovation in data management.
Partner Highlight: ShareGate BBCH has established numerous partnerships, but we want to highlight ShareGate as a key partner for over five years. ShareGate simplifies and accelerates migrations to cloud-based storage by automating file transfers, ensuring data integrity, and optimizing permissions. Its solutions help organizations manage, restructure, and govern their digital workspaces efficiently.
