Calance’s Step-by-Step Guide to Microsoft SharePoint consulting
services
In today’s hybrid workplace, organizations need a secure, scalable collaboration platform that ties
people, content, and processes together. Microsoft SharePoint remains a foundational platform for
enterprise content management and team collaboration. When implemented the right way,
SharePoint reduces friction, improves knowledge sharing, and enables automated business
processes. For organizations that want a predictable, low-risk outcome, professional help is
essential. Calance provides Microsoft SharePoint consulting services that cover assessment,
migration, custom development, governance, and long term managed support.
This guide walks you through Calance’s recommended, step-by-step approach to a successful
SharePoint program, with practical tips you can use whether you are modernizing an on-prem
environment, consolidating multiple instances, or building a cloud first collaboration platform.
1. Start with a focused assessment
The first and most critical step is a thorough assessment. Calance begins by inventorying your
content, customizations, and integrations. That includes counting sites and libraries, mapping
permission structures, identifying legacy custom code, and auditing third party tools. A proper

2. assessment reduces surprises during migration and helps prioritize high value areas. The
output is a documented roadmap, a risk register, and a migration phasing plan.
2. Define governance and success metrics
Good governance keeps SharePoint sustainable. At this step Calance helps define site
lifecycle rules, ownership, retention policies, search and metadata standards, and security
controls. Equally important is setting measurable success criteria such as search accuracy,
time to find content, user adoption rates, and workflow cycle time. These metrics help prove
return on investment after deployment.
3. Plan the migration strategy
Every migration has trade offs between speed, cost, and fidelity. Calance evaluates whether to
use lift and shift, selective content migration, or automated tooling with remediation for
customizations. They pair those choices with a phased cutover plan to reduce downtime and
minimize user impact. This pragmatic planning is backed by migration best practices and tool
selection that fit your environment.
4. Prepare the platform and security foundation
Before moving content, the platform must be secured and configured. Calance validates tenant
settings, conditional access policies, external sharing settings, and data protection controls.
For regulated industries Calance recommends additional compliance checks and
documentation. This step ensures that security and governance are not afterthoughts, but built
into the migration.
5. Migrate with automation and human validation
Calance leverages industry tools and scripted processes to migrate content at scale while
retaining metadata and permissions. Automation speeds migration and reduces manual errors.
Human validation processes, including sampling and reconciliation, ensure content was moved
correctly. For complex customizations Calance converts or reimplements functionality using
modern frameworks like SPFx, Power Platform, and Azure services to future proof solutions.
6. Modernize and integrate
A migration is a chance to modernize how your organization collaborates. Calance focuses on
replacing legacy forms and workflows with Power Apps and Power Automate where it makes
sense. They also integrate SharePoint with Teams, Microsoft Search, and enterprise systems
to centralize work and reduce app switching. Modern UX patterns and governance controls
increase adoption and reduce support load.
7. Train, adopt, and iterate
User adoption is the multiplier on technical work. Calance pairs technical delivery with tailored
training, governance playbooks, and change communications. They implement champions
programs and provide analytics to monitor usage. Post-launch reviews and iterative
improvements keep the platform aligned with changing business needs.
8. Provide managed services and continuous improvement
Long term success requires monitoring, health checks, and ongoing support. Calance offers
managed SharePoint services that include proactive patching, security monitoring, backups,

3. and periodic governance reviews. This support model keeps environments healthy and frees
internal teams to focus on business outcomes rather than routine maintenance.
How Calance stands out from larger vendors?
Global consultancies and platform vendors offer SharePoint modernization solutions, but
organizations often trade off agility for scale. Leading Microsoft ecosystem providers focus on rapid
modernization programs and tooling based approaches. For example Avanade and similar firms
emphasize accelerated modernization playbooks and enterprise scale transformation programs
while platform specialists provide deep migration and governance tooling. Calance blends practical
enterprise experience with a hands on, client first approach that is focused on minimizing disruption
and maximizing measurable outcomes. This blend helps Calance deliver tailored solutions without
the overhead of large program complexity.
Practical tips for decision makers

1. Prioritize high-value content. Move the content that users need now and archive the rest.
2. Remove unused customizations. Rebuild only the features that deliver clear business value.
3. Test search and metadata early. Good information architecture pays dividends in findability and
adoption.
4. Use pilot groups and phased rollout. A controlled launch uncovers issues before enterprise
wide cutover.
5. Track adoption metrics and iterate. Use analytics to identify low usage sites and provide
targeted training.
Common pitfalls to avoid

1. Skipping governance and expecting users to self govern.
2. Migrating everything because it is easier than deciding.
3. Underestimating custom code and integration complexity.
4. Thinking migration alone will drive adoption.

Final thoughts

balance risk and speed while delivering measurable business value. Calance’s step by step
approach, rooted in assessment, planning, modernization, and managed support, delivers that
balance and reduces the long term cost of ownership for collaboration platforms. If you want a
