Service: re-engineering of existing intranet portal and data migration
Solution type: web application
Business area: corporate intranet
Period: 2008-ongoing
Key problems
The customer's existing corporate intranet portal was made using the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2003. This portal serves for document and information storage, management and exchange; publishing internal news, storing information about ongoing projects, etc. The corporate intranet includes a number of sites: besides a common area, each department has its own site. Every user has a set of rights for access to different sites and functionalities.
Due to the fact that the portal used the old version of MOSS, the web-site needed enhancement of usability and functionality. This task included:
- Implementation and enhancement of the corporate intranet portal functionality using modern technologies;
- Data migration of all intranet sites to the new platform without stopping the functioning of the intranet portal.
Solution
Arcadia’s developer team implemented all functionality on the new platform. The task of smooth operation during data migration was solved by gradual migration of intranet sites: each site moved to a new server with the new platform (allowing to return temporarily to the old version if needed), all troubleshooting was made, and only then the team started to migrate the next site.
