Why Companies Are Leaving SharePoint

Organizations worldwide are migrating away from SharePoint. Here's what's driving the change.

End of Support Deadline

SharePoint 2016/2019 support ends July 14, 2026. After this date, no security patches or updates. Your organization becomes vulnerable.

Rising Licensing Costs

Per-user licensing adds up fast. 500 users at $12/month = $72,000/year. Open Intranet has no per-user fees—ever.

Vendor Lock-In

Trapped in Microsoft ecosystem? Open source means you own your data, your code, and your future. Switch hosting providers anytime.

Our Migration Process

A proven 4-step process that minimizes disruption and ensures complete data integrity.

1. Assessment

We analyze your current SharePoint setup: sites, libraries, workflows, permissions, and integrations. You get a detailed migration plan with timeline and costs.

2. Setup & Configuration

We deploy Open Intranet on your infrastructure (on-premise or cloud), configure LDAP/AD integration, set up permissions, and customize branding.

3. Data Migration

Documents, pages, news, calendars, user profiles—everything transfers with metadata intact. We run parallel systems during transition.

4. Training & Go-Live

Admin and user training, documentation, and 30-day post-launch support. Your team is confident and productive from day one.

What You Get After Migration

"Working with the Droptica team in creating our renewed intranet was great. We appreciated their flexibility, professionalism and efficient way of working. In case any changes were needed during the development they responded quickly. Within a very short time-frame our new intranet was created with a nice fresh look and feel."

SharePoint Migration FAQ

Most migrations complete in 4-8 weeks, depending on complexity. Small organizations (under 500 users) can migrate in 4 weeks. Enterprise migrations with custom workflows may take 8-12 weeks. We run systems in parallel during transition—no downtime for your team.

No. We guarantee 100% data transfer with metadata intact. Documents, permissions, version history, user profiles—everything migrates. We run verification checks before decommissioning SharePoint.

Yes. We recommend a 2-4 week parallel period where both systems are active. Users can access both while we verify the migration and complete training. This ensures zero disruption to daily work.

We analyze your workflows during assessment and rebuild them in Open Intranet. Simple approval workflows migrate directly. Complex workflows may require custom development—we'll quote this separately.

Yes. Open Intranet can run on your own servers, in your private cloud, or in our managed cloud. For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements (government, healthcare, finance), on-premise is often the best choice.

Migration costs depend on: number of users, volume of content, custom workflows, and integration requirements. Typical projects range from €15,000 to €50,000. We provide a detailed quote after the free assessment.
