SharePoint Migration Services in Calgary
Move your files, documents, and intranet to SharePoint Online — without losing a single file. AltaCom's migration team handles the complexity so your team barely notices the change. Proudly serving Calgary and businesses across Alberta since 2011.
SharePoint Migration
What is a SharePoint migration?
A SharePoint migration moves your business documents, files, and folders from where they currently live — on-premises file servers, Google Drive, Dropbox, or legacy SharePoint — into a properly structured Microsoft SharePoint Online environment within your Microsoft 365 tenant.
Done correctly, a SharePoint migration preserves every file, folder, permission group, and metadata field. Done incorrectly, you end up with a flat folder dump that your team cannot navigate and refuses to use. AltaCom's migration methodology builds the SharePoint information architecture before a single file is moved — so the structure makes sense on day one.
We migrate Calgary businesses from file servers, NAS devices, Google Drive, Dropbox, and older SharePoint versions — with zero data loss, permission preservation, and user training included before go-live.

Migration Process
How we migrate your SharePoint
01
Audit
We inventory your file structure, permissions, file counts, and identify any migration blockers (long paths, special characters, restricted file types).
02
Map
Design your SharePoint architecture — sites, libraries, folders, and permission groups — approved before any data moves.
03
Migrate
Phased migration using Microsoft-certified tooling. Large migrations run in batches outside business hours.
04
Validate
File count verification, permission checks, and end-user acceptance testing before we close the project.
Common questions about SharePoint Migration in Calgary, Alberta
SharePoint Migration FAQs for Calgary Businesses
A small to mid-sized business migration (under 1 TB) typically takes 2–4 weeks from kickoff to validation. Larger migrations or those involving on-premises SharePoint with custom workflows can take 6–10 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after the pre-migration audit.
Yes. Permission preservation is a core requirement of every AltaCom SharePoint migration. We map your existing NTFS or Drive permissions to SharePoint permission groups during the architecture phase and validate them after migration — not as an afterthought.
Yes. Google Drive to SharePoint Online is one of our most common migration types. We convert Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to Microsoft Office formats and preserve folder structure, metadata, and sharing settings throughout.
Nothing changes for your team during the migration run — your existing file storage stays fully accessible. We migrate data in batches, typically outside business hours, and only cut over to SharePoint as the primary system once migration and validation are complete and your team has signed off.
