Project Name:

SharePoint 2016 Migration

Scope:

Senior Dev Ops – Power Platform Specialist

Collaboration and Content Services (CCS) requires a skilled SharePoint and Power Platform Specialist to design, develop, and maintain custom business applications using Microsoft Power Apps, and Power Automate. This involves upgrading legacy SharePoint 2016 sites that utilize form services (InfoPath, Nintex) and SharePoint designer workflows to modernize SharePoint Online solutions using Microsoft 365 tools.

Project Overview

The Government of Alberta (GoA) is initiating a strategic upgrade of its SharePoint environment, transitioning from SharePoint 2016 to SharePoint Online. This modernization effort aims to enhance collaboration capabilities, improve long-term system sustainability, and align with the broader Microsoft 365 (M365) program objectives.

The Collaboration and Content Management Services (CCS) team will lead the technical execution of the migration. Their responsibilities include all move, add, and change activities, as well as the migration of site content.

Ministry partners will play a key role by reviewing their existing SharePoint 2016 site inventories and determining the appropriate disposition for each site—whether to migrate, archive, or decommission.
