Case Study: Babcock International streamlines multi-source migration to SharePoint with Proventeq

Babcock International migrates 1TB+ of data to SharePoint with Proventeq

Babcock International, a UK-based engineering support business for the defence and other critical sectors, faced the challenge of consolidating terabytes of data from multiple disparate systems including SharePoint 2003, Exchange Public Folders, and Lotus Notes into a single SharePoint 2010 platform. This complex migration, necessitated by business acquisitions, required dealing with vast amounts of data, reorganizing content hierarchies, and ensuring high-level security was maintained. Proventeq was engaged to address these challenges using their Migration Accelerator product.

Proventeq implemented a secure migration that involved creating a new content structure and meticulously mapping security permissions from the origin systems to the new environment. The solution successfully merged millions of items into one universal SharePoint site, greatly reducing business downtime during the process. The results included increased accessibility of documents for employees and the assurance that all content remained protected at its original security level, which was paramount for Babcock's sensitive government contracts.
