Case Study: Elin Motoren GmbH achieves rapid SharePoint 2013 migration and file-share integration with AvePoint DocAve

Elin Motoren GmbH Swiftly Migrates to Microsoft® SharePoint® and Integrates File Shares with AvePoint

ELIN Motoren GmbH, an Austrian industrial specialist for rotating electrical machines, needed to upgrade its 325-user environment from SharePoint 2010 to 2013 while preserving terabytes of legacy SharePoint data and critical files stored on network shares. IT’s challenge was to migrate SharePoint content—including workflows and history—without moving file-share data, enforce governed access and bulk permissions, and speed up content moves from development to production.

ELIN implemented AvePoint’s DocAve platform (Administrator, Migrator, Content Manager, and File Share Navigator) to migrate legacy SharePoint content with full fidelity in hours, present file-share content in SharePoint without physically migrating it, and centralize administration and bulk permission management. The result was faster dev-to-prod cycles, simplified content reorganization, consolidated administration, and improved user access and adoption while avoiding unnecessary data migrations.
