Case Study: a UK investment firm modernizes Alfresco-to-SharePoint migration with Xillio

a UK investment firm migrates 400,000 Alfresco documents to SharePoint with Xillio

A UK investment firm faced the challenge of migrating 400,000 documents from Alfresco to SharePoint. They initially wanted a direct replication, but the vendor, Xillio, identified that this approach would create significant problems due to excessive metadata and complex permissions.

Xillio implemented a structured migration that involved content analysis and a technical redesign. The solution reduced the metadata from approximately 100 fields to just 15 that were in use and reconfigured permissions to be compliant. The result was an optimized, audit-ready SharePoint environment with improved performance and user experience.
