Case Study: Alegri achieves a five-month reduction in SharePoint 2010 migration time with AvePoint DocAve Migrator

Alegri Reduces SharePoint 2010 Migration Time By Five Months With DocAve®

Alegri International Group, a 160‑person Microsoft-focused IT consultancy based in Germany, needed to migrate its SharePoint 2007 environment (about 250 users, internal intranet and customer-facing sites) to SharePoint 2010. The company faced a complex challenge: securely transferring more than 100 GB of content while preserving customizations, metadata and field values, pruning outdated data, and scheduling migrations during off‑peak hours to avoid business disruption—capabilities limited in native SharePoint tools.

Alegri deployed AvePoint’s DocAve Migrator, using its Pre‑Migration Scanner, granular item-level migration and automated scheduler to analyze, select and prune content and run off‑hours jobs. The migration preserved customizations and metadata, reduced the projected timeline from six months to one month (saving five months), minimized end‑user disruption, and enabled Alegri to move forward with additional AvePoint solutions.
