Quick Summary

We executed a comprehensive migration of the client’s intranet from SharePoint 2010 to Office 365 Business, covering HR, Business, and Collaboration subsites.

  • Delivered a 100% automated archival system and enhanced HR module, reducing manual effort and licensing/maintenance expenses.
  • Achieved zero disruption to daily operations while successfully migrating high-volume data exceeding the standard 5,000-record threshold.

Client Profile

Headquartered in the UAE with global operations, this client specializes in technical recruitment and expatriation for mission-critical industries. They manage a complex workforce across 37 countries, requiring highly available and secure cloud-based document management.

Challenges: Hardware Obsolescence and Inefficient Workflows

The legacy on-premise infrastructure had become a bottleneck for the client’s growing global operations:

  • Outdated Infrastructure: Escalating costs for hosting, storage, and specialized operations staff to maintain aging hardware.
  • Process Latency: Manual archiving of employee-related documents was time-consuming and prone to delays.
  • Data Threshold Issues: Existing records exceeded the 5,000-item view limit, leading to performance degradation in the legacy system.
  • Complex Approvals: A slow, manual approval cycle for contracts and bonus letters hindered HR productivity.

QBurst Solution: Automated Cloud Governance and Migration

We implemented a modern SharePoint Online portal to centralize employee profiles and contract management. Using Sharegate, we migrated all legacy data—including full version history—to the cloud. To ensure a smooth transition, we built a staging environment for data cleansing before the final cutover.

Key technical optimizations:

  • Workflow Automation: Utilized SharePoint Designer workflows to automate document approvals and payroll notifications.
  • Smart Archival: Developed an automated deactivation and archival engine that triggers based on employee relieving dates.
  • Performance Tuning: Overcame the 5,000-record threshold by creating filtered, year-wise indexed views for seamless data retrieval.
  • UI Preservation: Leveraged jQuery and customized Designer Forms to maintain a familiar "look and feel" for users while adding modern functionality.

Key Features and Technical Highlights

  • Auto-Population Engine: Fields are automatically populated based on uploaded document types to minimize manual data entry.
  • Role-Based Notifications: Targeted alerts for managers, HR, and legal teams to streamline cross-departmental coordination.
  • Advanced Document Search: Integrated Employee ID dropdowns within the search interface for rapid document retrieval.
  • Custom Quick Launch: Personalized navigation for frequently accessed business and collaboration links.

Impact

  • Cost Reduction: Significantly lowered expenses related to server maintenance, physical equipment, and software licensing.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automated the end-to-end archival process and document approval cycles, saving hundreds of administrative hours.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Provided managers and HR leads with real-time dashboards and automated notifications for better oversight.
  • Data Integrity: Improved accuracy and accessibility of critical contracts and expatriation documents via structured cloud storage.
