How to be sure that we can migrate to Online services
How to be sure that we can migrate to Online services
- Hi,
We are currently using MOSS entreprise 2007 and want to migrate to an more robust infrastructure. Microsoft Online services seem interesting but, how to be sure that the services supports our current MOSS applications.
We customized a standard template, we use the Designer to developp custom workflows, we do cross site search, we plan to use infopath, we developp custom features, webparts, we buy third party components which impact the web.config, we active and customize the My sites, we add profil properties, etc.
In fact, is there some restriction to use the central administration, Designer, edit the config files, etc.
Thank you.
Erik

- Hi Erik.
I assume you mean SharePoint Online standard edition. Refer to the service description document from Microsoft which you can find here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1bef6a35-9785-4a0b-b227-387c0ee85a36
This will provide in detail the features that SharePoint Online supports.
To briefly summarise; some of the points that you mentioned are not supported in SharePoint Online. Specifically custom code, uploading features, changing the web.config, there is no My Sites etc. Therefore you would certainly need to make some adjustments moving from on-premises to online.
On the topic of custom code, we have found that not having it doesn't necessarilly limit your capabilities to produce compelling solutions that help the business work better.
Hope this helps.
