A look at Eveliko's first SharePoint 2013 to Sitefinity migration - a complex multilingual (English and Arabic) project covering 300 pages, over 4,500 images, and 200 documents, completed in one month using Eveliko's proprietary migration toolset.
Microsoft is discontinuing support for SharePoint 2013. At the same time, Sitefinity is discontinuing support for SharePoint 2010 and 2013. Organisations still running SharePoint 2013 as their main web presence need to act.
Eveliko completed its first migration from SharePoint 2013 to Sitefinity. Here are some statistics from the project:
What made this project notable is that we were able to migrate a large volume of data that was not available out of the box with the Sitefinity SharePoint connector. Instead, we used an internal product and process originally developed for Sitecore migrations - with 5 Sitecore to Sitefinity migrations already behind us at that point - and applied everything we had learned from those projects to enable this fast transition.
Our tool allows us to quickly begin with direct mappings and also gives us the ability to write dynamic code at field and item level for the custom parts of each project. It supports multiple languages, images, documents, pages, and practically any content type.
We also ported a number of custom components from SharePoint to Sitefinity, either adapting the existing code or completely rewriting them natively for Sitefinity.
While our team is highly experienced in Sitefinity and has solid knowledge of SharePoint, the client played a key role in the success of this project. They supported us in every possible direction - from infrastructure (both Sitefinity and SharePoint were on-premise) to making quick decisions on the spot about content: what to keep, where to move things, and how to handle edge cases.
