Puig migrates more than 1,000 collaborative sites from SharePoint 2010 to Sharepoint Online in Office 365
Puig is a third generation, family owned fashion and beauty business based in Barcelona. Its brands include Carolina Herrera, Paco Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Dries Van Noten, Penhaligon’s and L’Artisan Parfumeur; licenses such as Christian Louboutin and Comme des Garçons Parfums; and Lifestyle fragrances.
As part of the digital transformation project run by Puig, Ricoh was asked to design a new information architecture on top of SharePoint Online and migrate all the collaborative sub-sites to this new information architecture deployed. The new information architecture is based on a modern flat pattern architecture, use of hub sites and remote provisioning to create collaborative sites and apply a specific PnP template.
For the migration of the SharePoint 2010 sub-sites, Ricoh designed a migration architecture with 5 migration machines where Sharegate migration tool was installed. Puig and Ricoh agreed a migration procedure including the migration batches, migration days and migration windows. As a result, the 1.000 sub-sites were successfully migrated in approximately a month.
"SharePoint Online has allowed us to expand collaborative scenarios between both corporate and external users, and set governance rules to handle them. "
