Hi There
Just thought to seek some guidance on choosing between In-Place (IE, SP 2007 to SP 2010 to SP 2013) and Tool-base migration. Which is a better option and what is the trade-off or points to consider between both methods?
Many thanks in advance! Have a great weekend ahead!
Hey Ivan,
You’ll have way too many issues to work out just going from 2007 to 2010 and then again from 2010 to 2013 that it is almost not worth going that way.
If you need help on building an inventory of what you have and planning migration, I wrote a post that may help:
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/how-to-build-an-inventory-before-sharepoint-migration
And did a short video to explain it http://en.share-gate.com/blog/build-sharepoint-inventory-for-migration-b2f
In that last link with the video, I also added a few links to migration series I wrote as well as reasons why a migration can fail. Hopefully those tips and how-to’s can help you get going.
As a note, I do work for Sharegate (one of those migration tools mentioned) and I encourage you to check out all the tools to see which fits your needs best. http://en.share-gate.com/  and well it’s Friday so why not a little humour  http://en.share-gate.com/funny
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate 🙂
