Migration or intergration Alfresco

Many organizations are moving away from Alfresco. Sometimes because the platform no longer fits. Sometimes because Microsoft 365 is the new standard. In most cases, content in Alfresco has become isolated: hard to secure, integrate, or manage.

SharePoint Embedded changes the model. It’s a headless, API-first content platform from Microsoft. Content is stored directly in your Microsoft 365 tenant, with full control over structure, permissions, and compliance.

Xillio helps you move from Alfresco to SharePoint Embedded, without disruption. Cleanly, securely, and with full control.

 

Why organizations replace Alfresco with SharePoint Embedded

  • Content is stored in your own Microsoft 365 tenant
  • No reliance on the SharePoint user interface
  • API-first design lets your apps control how documents are used
  • Native support for Microsoft Purview compliance features
  • Reduces cost and complexity by retiring legacy ECM

Rapid Alfresco connector for SharePoint Embedded

Xillio’s Alfresco connector is built for large-scale, high-control migrations into SharePoint Embedded. It’s fast, robust, and designed to handle complex enterprise scenarios.

  • Extracts documents, folders, metadata, versions, and permissions from Alfresco
  • Processes content in our Unified Content Store for mapping, transformation, and enrichment
  • Uploads content using the Microsoft Graph API with optimized throughput
  • Supports container structuring and permission application using Microsoft Entra ID
  • Manages permission inheritance limits and avoids API throttling
  • Provides full logging, status reporting, and audit tracking at every stage

Our connector gives you the flexibility and control you need to move content from Alfresco to SharePoint Embedded with confidence.

Migrating Alfresco to SharePoint Embedded

We start by extracting content from your Alfresco environment—files, metadata, versions, and permissions. This data is ingested into our Unified Content Store for analysis and preparation.

From there, we:

  • Work with your team to define the container structure and metadata mapping
  • Align permissions to your Microsoft Entra ID groups and roles
  • Ingest content into SharePoint Embedded using controlled, high-throughput API calls
  • Validate and reconcile the results, delivering audit logs for review
  • Support delta migrations (learn more), phased rollouts (our approach), and link redirection (Link Redirector) if required

The result: a secure and predictable migration, tailored to your governance, compliance, and operational requirements.
