SharePoint Migration Services
Moving to SharePoint Online should make it easier for your team to find, share and collaborate on information. Lanter helps businesses plan and deliver SharePoint migrations that create a clear structure for documents, permissions and collaboration across the organisation.
How Lanter's SharePoint Migration Services Keep Your Business Moving
The Right SharePoint Migration Approach for Your Business
Moving to SharePoint Online is an opportunity to improve the way information is organised, shared and managed across your business. Lanter works with your team to plan a migration that supports your current needs while setting you up for long-term success.
Audit Your Content, Permissions and File Shares Before You Move
A successful migration starts with understanding what you have today. Lanter reviews your content, permissions and file structures to identify what should be migrated, archived or retired, helping ensure SharePoint Online starts with a clean foundation rather than recreating existing problems.
Design an Information Architecture Your Team Will Actually Use
Simply moving an existing file structure into SharePoint rarely delivers the best result. Lanter works with your team to design a logical structure for sites, libraries and permissions, making it easier for staff to find information and collaborate effectively.
Migrate From SharePoint Server, File Shares or Another Tenant Without Disruption
Whether you're moving from SharePoint Server, network drives, Dropbox, Google Drive or another Microsoft 365 tenant, Lanter carefully plans and manages the migration process to minimise disruption and help maintain business continuity throughout the transition.
Protect Permissions, Metadata and Version History Through Cutover
SharePoint migrations can involve more than simply transferring files. Lanter helps preserve permissions, metadata and version history while planning for challenges such as broken links and document dependencies that can affect users after go-live.
Govern, Secure and Adopt SharePoint Online Long After Go-Live
Migration is only the beginning. Lanter helps organisations establish governance, security and adoption practices that support long-term success, helping ensure Teams, sites and document libraries remain organised and easy to manage.

Your Trusted Partner for SharePoint Migration
A Pragmatic, Business-First Approach
Every organisation uses information differently. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, Lanter works closely with your team to deliver a SharePoint environment that is secure, manageable and easy for staff to use.
Experienced Specialists With Real-World Perspective
We’ve worked with organisations that have attempted SharePoint migrations before, only to be left with inconsistent structures, duplicated content and poor user adoption. Our experience helps businesses avoid common pitfalls and achieve better outcomes.
Honest Advice Focused on the Right Outcome
SharePoint Online is not always the right destination for every workload. We provide independent advice and may recommend Teams, OneDrive or alternative approaches where they better support your business requirements and user needs.
SharePoint Migration Services for Businesses of All Sizes

Many small businesses reach a point where files are spread across network drives, email attachments and cloud storage platforms. Lanter helps bring information together in SharePoint Online with a structure that is easy for staff to understand and use.
SharePoint Migration Services for Medium Businesses
As businesses grow, document management often becomes fragmented across file shares, Teams and cloud platforms. We help create a structured SharePoint environment that improves collaboration and information management.

Larger organisations often face challenges around permissions, governance and consistency. Lanter helps create scalable SharePoint environments that support multiple teams, locations and business functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lanter's SharePoint migration service include?
Our service includes discovery, migration planning, information architecture design, content migration, permissions mapping, governance recommendations and post-migration support.
How do you decide which content should move, be archived or retired?
We assess how information is being used, identify redundant or outdated content and work with stakeholders to determine what should be migrated, archived or removed.
Do you start with a content and permissions readiness assessment?
Yes. We begin by reviewing your content, permissions and current environment to identify risks, opportunities and migration requirements before any work begins.
How do you minimise downtime while you migrate to SharePoint Online?
We carefully plan migration activities, test where appropriate and schedule cutovers to minimise disruption to users and business operations.
Is data governance and access control built into your migration?
Yes. Governance, permissions and access controls are considered throughout the migration process to help maintain security and support ongoing management.
Can we start with one team or department before rolling SharePoint out across the business?
Absolutely. Many organisations choose to begin with a pilot group before extending SharePoint across the wider business.
How do you handle metadata, version history and link integrity during the move?
Where supported, we preserve metadata and version history and assess potential issues such as broken links or document dependencies as part of the migration planning process.
How do you manage SharePoint licensing and storage costs after migration?
As part of our broader Microsoft 365 expertise, we can help review licensing, storage consumption and governance settings to support ongoing cost management.
What support and adoption help do we receive once SharePoint Online is live?
We can provide post-migration support, user guidance, governance recommendations and ongoing Microsoft 365 managed services. Once the migration is complete, we can also help organisations take advantage of broader SharePoint and Microsoft 365 capabilities such as collaboration tools, approval workflows and data governance features.
