Webinar: Preparing for SharePoint 2016/2019 Migration Success
The clock is ticking … and time is running out!
On July 14, 2026, SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019 will reach end of support. After nearly 25 years of SharePoint Server, this marks the end of the traditional on-premises SharePoint model.
For businesses running SharePoint Server beyond July 2026 means:
- No more security updates or patches, leaving systems vulnerable
- Risk of system instability and major business disruptions
- Rising costs for emergency remediation with no extended support available
SharePoint is the quiet engine powering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the modern workplace. But with Microsoft retiring several on‑premise versions and related components in 2026, this shift marks a critical milestone for any business still relying on classic SharePoint environments.
Preparing for Migration Success
A successful SharePoint migration doesn’t happen by chance; it requires a solid strategy, careful avoidance of common pitfalls, and learning from organizations that have already made the leap.
Come learn what end of support really means and how to prepare.
In this live, interactive Q&A session, you’ll learn what 'end of support' means for security, compliance, operations, and long‑term business continuity. We will dive into real‑world scenarios, lessons learned, and the most common challenges organizations face when modernizing their environments.
You will walk away feeling confident about your next steps with practical, actionable guidance on how to proceed, including:
- Create a clear and achievable migration roadmap aligned with your business priorities.
- Identify risk factors early so you can adjust course before they become obstacles.
- Simplify cleanup and preparation to prevent transferring unnecessary complexity into the cloud.
- Choose the appropriate migration approach, from lift-and-shift to redesigning for modern SharePoint.
- Prepare your users for success with communication, training, and change management.
- Maintain post-migration stability through governance, testing, and ongoing improvement.
If classic SharePoint touches any critical part of your business, this is a session you cannot afford to skip. Migrations routinely exceed timelines and budgets, especially when legacy farms, complex permissions, and years of unmanaged content are in play.
Give your team the time and clarity they need. Start shaping your move to modern SharePoint now before the clock runs out!
Who Should Attend?
This session is ideal for anyone involved with planning or evaluating their 2026 roadmap, including:
- IT decision makers who are responsible for modernization
- Project managers overseeing upgrades or cloud transitions
- Business leaders focused on productivity, compliance, and governance
- Technical teams executing migrations or re-architecture
- Organizations moving from file shares, SaaS tools, or on-prem SharePoint to SharePoint Online
Why Now?
July may feel far away, but migrations take longer than most organizations expect. Planning, cleanup, remediation, testing, and user adoption can span months or even a year, especially when dealing with:
- Years of accumulated content
- Custom workflows and legacy structures
- Classic sites that cannot be automated
- Complex permissions and integrations
Don't delay. Begin planning your migration now to modernize on your terms.
