Migration from Confluence to Microsoft 365 #SharePoint
|
Elena Kokoliou
Dear all,
I am creating this topic to ask your insights, if any, regarding migration Tools, preferably supported in Europe, that could apply the aforementioned migration. Moreover, I would be glad if you could share some main pros and cons of Confluence migration into Microsoft 365 or any other similar experience you had with your Knowledge Management System. Thank you, Elena

Hi Elena, In terms of tools, ShareGate makes an excellent migration and Sharepoint management tool: https://sharegate.com/

Hi Elena, apologies for the probably late answer. I'd suggest thinking of the 'Why' question (as always): do you need the migration? Is it the m365 platform your company is globally switching to or is it the idea to save costs? Both platforms have different learning curves as Confluence is more about pages than attachments, whereas SharePoint Online is much more about lists and forms combined with document libraries (attachments). The page content functionality in SharePoint Online is good but just different from what your users are used to in Confluence... think of your users and content types, I'd suggest that a pre-migration content type audit is crucial in such cases. ср, 11 мая 2022 г. в 16:40, Elena Kokoliou <Elena.Kokoliou@...>:

Hi Eugene,
your points are absolutely right. The reason that we want to investigate alternative solutions has to do with cost savings. The functionalities of SharePoint vs Confluence and the user experience are something that really concerns me. It would be great if there was someone that could talk about his/her experience in using the SharePoint as Knowledge Management System. Thank you for your answer, really appreciated. My best, Elena

Elena,
Here at Northwestern Mutual, we are actual migrating away from SharePoint to the Optimizely CMS solution. There are a number of limitations within SharePoint (especially around data metrics and authoring functionality) that we felt hampered the ability to “right-size” our technical writing staff and drive efficiency.

We do use SharePoint as the core of our Knowledge Management system. However it is also "horses for courses" as some knowledge need not be in SharePoint. For example the knowledge needed by our IT staff is in ServiceNow. The knowledge needed by developers is
in GitHub. etc.
Happy to talk to what we have and how we do it. We have robust analytics for knowledge in SharePoint too as evidence helps.

Hi, I love SharePoint, but I think that is necesary using this platform without or whit lesss programing. Sharepoint is really versatile and adaptable but depends on creativity and flexibility of people.

Hi Eugene,
Hi Elena, As flagged by others, there are two ways of looking at this:
These issues and questions are very much the bread-and-butter of the (vendor neutral) work we do, and happy to have an informal chat if that would be useful. Cheers,

I’ve helped customers transition from Confluence to SharePoint. It’s really a lot about what you make of it. I’m happy to answer questions.

Do people here have experience that SharePoint is now less expensive than Confluence? I find this surprising. Is the cost of staff necessary to run the two platforms being factored in? I get that Confluence Cloud has seen price increases but Atlassian tends to be cost conscious especially vs other major players. Thanks, Martin

Martin –
I think that my observation is that clients are looking at total package cost – including things like the cost of Office and Exchange making M365/O365 including SharePoint a better deal. The result is leveraging SharePoint.
In my experience the number of people needed between SharePoint and Confluence is identical – but I’d love to hear your experience where this is not the case.
