18 Actionable Data from Content Inventory ControlPoint Find large sites Find bloated content databases Find large lists Find empty or unused sites Find most active sites Find duplicate files Find site owners Find most active users Find inactive users Content Matrix Promote/demote sites and site collections Create scalable distribution of content Split items into multiple manageable libraries Do not migrate unnecessary sites/content Migrate heavily used sites first Ensure a single source of truth in new farm Have site owners migrate their own sites Involve power users in the migration Identify where you can cut CALs Confidential and Proprietary Metalogix 18

27 The Database Attach Upgrade The Out of the Box Approach 1.

Site collections evaluated and upgraded by owners Confidential and Proprietary Metalogix 27

Content Doesn t allow DBs upgraded you to reorganize (but not below site the collections Site Collection remain level in during 2010 upgrade mode ) 4. Service Application DBs upgraded 5. Site Only collections truly gradual evaluated if you re not and making upgraded any significant by ownerschanges during migration Confidential and Proprietary Metalogix 28
