Overview

A leading healthcare network operating across multiple states needed to modernize their collaboration infrastructure by migrating from an aging SharePoint 2013 on-premises environment to SharePoint Online. The migration had to maintain HIPAA compliance, ensure zero downtime for clinical operations, and preserve 10+ years of critical medical documentation.

The Challenge

The healthcare network faced several critical challenges that made this migration particularly complex:

  • Legacy SharePoint 2013 environment with extensive customizations and workflows
  • Strict HIPAA compliance requirements for all patient-related data
  • Zero tolerance for downtime due to 24/7 clinical operations
  • Complex permission structures across 200+ site collections
  • 10 million+ documents requiring metadata preservation
  • Integration with Epic EHR system and other clinical applications
