Overview
As technology grew more ubiquitous across the enterprise beginning in the 1990s, many platforms emerged to store data. These included file shares, Exchange public folders, and Lotus Notes applications, as well as early versions of SharePoint. While each platform served a specific purpose when adopted, the costs of acquiring and managing such a large number of systems was significant. For this reason, companies today are seeking ways to reduce IT budgets by reducing the number of systems being supported.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) provides a solution: a single platform where a variety of information can be consolidated and managed. There are challenges to migrating data to SharePoint, but the benefits of having data consolidated on a single versatile platform are significant.

This white paper discusses why Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is an excellent platform on which to consolidate your data. It also describes the sources from which data can be migrated, the challenges and benefits of consolidating your data, and best practices to consider when undertaking a consolidation project.
