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!
Hello again,
If it’s painfull to go from 2007-2013 depends on the amount of customizations. If you have many then of course to rewrite your code is painfull, also you have all the references to wsp files, assemblies and so on. But will you create new farm solutions (wsp) files for SharePoint 2013? OR will you use the app model, because that is also questions you have to ask yourself.
You have a great tool for checking this:Â http://www.spcaf.com/analyzers/migrationassessment/
But sometimes you will save alot of time and efforts to recreate everything in 2013 instead of trying to do the upgrade path. As I mentioned all the tools mentioned are very good, I have used both Metalogix, Sharegate and AvePoint with great results. But what I would do is to download a trial, and compare them. And of course I would also get a quote about prices to compare them as well. you can always email me or call me if you want to have a chat about this. I have done this several times, both the inplace way, and the migration way. So would be happy to assist you on planning this. Any migration/upgrade project need to be planned to have success.
