With the Wave 15 release of Office 365 many organizations will increasingly be considering using SharePoint Online.

However if you currently have deployed SharePoint 2010 or earlier On-Premises, than you face the double challenge migrating to Online and upgrading to a new version of SharePoint.

Unfortunately there is no simple script to run, and there many challenges and decisions to make when migrating from SharePoint On-Premises to Online.

This session covers:

1. The real life example of international charity who have migrated their 350 user SharePoint 2010 system to a Wave 15 SharePoint Online deployment.
2. The key decisions within the project will be discussed, to understand how their system mapped to Online and how it also presented an opportunity to rethink aspects of the system.
3. Specific focus will be given to custom functionality, including branding, and how this was addressed Online and also in a version upgrade.
4. The session will also cover content migration and security, discussing options which were considered including third party tools
5. Finally an overview of how the project was delivered will be presented, giving guidance on a realistic roadmap for a migration to Online.
