Case Study: City of Greenville achieves rapid, full-fidelity SharePoint migration and 88% faster restores with AvePoint

City of Greenville Migrates Critical Workflows and Gains Flexible Microsoft® SharePoint® Backup and Restore Capabilities with AvePoint

The City of Greenville, NC, which supports about 850 employees with departmental SharePoint 2007 intranets, needed to migrate to SharePoint 2010 but lacked in-house SharePoint expertise. Key challenges included selectively migrating content (notably Nintex workflows) without data loss, scrubbing unwanted items before transfer, and improving slow, cumbersome item-level restores that could take up to two days.

Greenville engaged AvePoint Client Services’ Migration-as-a-Service and used DocAve Migrator and DocAve Backup & Restore to migrate three environments in one month with full fidelity, preserve Nintex workflows, and implement scheduled full and incremental backups. The result: faster, predictable migrations with no data loss and an 88% reduction in granular restore time—from two days to about two hours—while significantly easing the IT team’s workload.
