Why You Need to Start Now

Migrations can take up to 12 months, depending on the complexity of your environment. Starting now ensures you have ample time to:

  • Assess your current setup: Understanding your existing SharePoint environment is crucial for a smooth transition.
  • Plan and execute the migration: A well-thought-out plan minimizes downtime and disruptions.
  • Train your team: Ensure your staff is ready to leverage new tools and features effectively.
  • Test thoroughly: Identify and resolve any issues before going live.

  • SharePoint Server 2016 will reach its end of life on July 14, 2026. After this date, it will no longer receive any updates or support from Microsoft.
  • If companies are using SharePoint 2016, it's the ideal time to start planning to migrate to a newer version or an alternative solution before it's too late.
