Replace Confluence. Build SharePoint.
Why more and more Swiss companies are switching from Atlassian Confluence to SharePoint – and how CNEXT makes the transition painless.
Rising license costs, forced cloud migration and missing Microsoft 365 integration: There are good reasons to replace Confluence with SharePoint. We've already done it for one of Switzerland's largest hospitals.
Why Confluence Becomes a Problem
Atlassian discontinued server support in 2024. Swiss companies face a decision: Migrate to Atlassian Cloud – or seize the opportunity and switch to SharePoint.
Exploding License Costs
Atlassian Cloud is getting more expensive – especially for Swiss SMEs. SharePoint is often already included in the Microsoft 365 license you're already paying for.
Double Infrastructure
Running Confluence alongside Microsoft 365 means double administration, double training and double security risks. One platform is more efficient.
Information Silos
Knowledge in Confluence is separated from Microsoft Teams, Outlook and SharePoint. Employees constantly have to switch between systems.
Data Protection & Compliance
Swiss companies need clear data residency. With SharePoint and Microsoft 365, your data stays in Swiss data centers (Zurich & Geneva).
Confluence vs. SharePoint: Head-to-Head
As part of Microsoft 365, SharePoint offers decisive advantages for companies already working in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Benefits of Replacing Confluence
What is a Confluence-to-SharePoint migration?
A Confluence-to-SharePoint migration moves Atlassian Confluence wikis, spaces and attachments into Microsoft SharePoint Online – including metadata transfer, page structure transformation and link migration. CNEXT carries out Confluence migrations for Swiss organisations consolidating onto Microsoft 365, reducing Atlassian licensing costs, or ensuring nDSG-compliant data residency in Switzerland.
