What Makes This Migration Complex

Nuxeo's flexible content model and custom document types create unique challenges when moving to SharePoint Online's structured environment. 

How Xillio Addresses This

FAQ

Can you migrate permissions from Nuxeo to SharePoint Online?

Yes. We map Nuxeo's security model to SharePoint groups and permission levels. Complex ACLs get translated into SharePoint's structure, maintaining your access control requirements.

What happens to metadata and versions?

Metadata transforms according to your mapping rules. Version histories migrate as SharePoint versions. We preserve audit trails and document lifecycles where possible.

Can this migration be executed in phases?

Absolutely. Most organizations migrate in waves—by department, document type, or business unit. This reduces risk and allows you to validate results before moving everything.

Do you support export-only migrations?

Yes. If you need to archive Nuxeo content without importing to a new system, we extract everything to a structured format you can store and access long-term.

How do you validate migration results?

We provide detailed reports comparing source and target. You get item counts, metadata accuracy checks, and permission verification. Test migrations let you validate before the final run.

How long does a typical Nuxeo to SharePoint migration take?

It depends on content volume and complexity. After our initial analysis, you get a realistic timeline based on your specific environment. Most projects complete within 8-16 weeks.
