Hello, can SharePoint 2007 migrate to SharePoint 2013 and if so, what kind of pre-steps needed?
It may not be possible to migrate SharePoint 2007 content directly to SharePoint 2013. You may be required to upgrade the Farm to 2010 and migrate from there. The use of third party tools can quicken this process considerably.
Overcoming these challenges will take time, planning and a great deal of effort. But third party tools like vyapin’s SharePoint to SharePoint Migration tool – XPlica can help you out of this situation by providing customized solutions to your migration needs.
Below are a few challenges you may face when migrating from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013
- Switching from 32 bit to 64 bit environment
- Adapting the 2007 Site Content to the new 2013 architecture
- Creating content batches for migration
- Accommodating customization in the new SharePoint 2013 Site Collections
- Matching Content Types for efficient migration
