Case Study: City of Adelaide achieves rapid Office 365 migration and 70% data reduction with AvePoint

City of Adelaide IT Modernisation with Office 365

The City of Adelaide, a local government serving more than 22,000 citizens, launched a three-year IT modernisation to move its customised SharePoint environment and legacy apps to Office 365. The council needed 24/7 access for 800 users and faced a major challenge from years of accumulated non-essential content—about 100 GB of SharePoint data that required careful evaluation before migration.

Using AvePoint’s DocAve Migrator and Content Manager, the team ran pre-migration discovery, disposed of roughly 70 GB (about 70%) of obsolete data, and migrated more than 30 GB to SharePoint Online in four days. The move delivered 24/7 availability, better mobile data capture for firstline workers, faster roll-out of Power BI, Dynamics CRM, Stream and Teams, and reduced migration and storage costs while improving overall collaboration and communications.
