Preparing for MigrationWe will work with you to prepare your migration but before approaching us you should consider the following: Is SharePoint (or OneDrive) the Correct Location ?Consider whether SharePoint or OneDrive is an appropriate location for moving documents or data. In relation to research data where SharePoint is one application in use, it is not necessarily the preferred application, advice on other available solutions can be found in the Research Data Service webpages: https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/research-support/research-data-service. You may need to consult with your Head of IT or local Computing Officer where information governance exists. Requests from Colleges: CAHSS should go to CAHSS Digital Innovations Team CMVM should go to IS US Bioquarter and Central MVM Support Team CSE should go to CSE Local IT ManagerWhich SharePoint Site?Consider which SharePoint site the content should go to. The requester may have a preference but again follow the same procedure as above by running it past relevant local IT and local IT support teams. Document ManagementSome business areas choose to just do a ‘lift and shift’ from one location to the other. However, this often brings with it existing problems as no consideration has been given to permissions management, new ways of working and information management governance.
