Four Ways to Migrate SharePoint Content More Effectively with Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint
Most organizations that adopted SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) 2003 and Windows SharePoint Server (WSS) 2.0 did so in an experimental fashion and were at the forefront of adopting this collaboration technology. Many were able to immediately see the benefits of SharePoint and saw rapid user adoption. A consequence of the combination limited access to best practices guidance and rapid user adoption led to SharePoint implementations with confusing taxonomies, redundant content, inconsistent template usage and end user confusion.

Here are four ways that Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint can assist with these upgrades.
