Main migration drivers: (1) Cost savings – SharePoint is included in M365, eliminating Confluence Cloud costs (CHF 6,000–15,000/year for 100+ users). (2) M365 integration – SharePoint connects natively with Teams, Outlook, Power Automate. (3) Consolidation – one platform instead of two. (4) FADP compliance – Swiss SharePoint data residency vs. Confluence EU servers.
CNEXT's migration process: (1) Content audit (identify active vs. stale spaces), (2) SharePoint information architecture design (site structure, metadata), (3) Automated migration using ShareGate or Veeam, (4) URL redirect setup (old Confluence URLs → new SharePoint URLs), (5) Governance configuration, (6) User training and adoption. Fixed-price delivery.
Yes, to a large degree. CNEXT uses ShareGate's Confluence-to-SharePoint migration tool: Confluence spaces → SharePoint sites, pages → SharePoint pages (modern), attachments → document libraries, user mapping and permission migration. Some complex Confluence macros require manual recreation as SharePoint web parts.
Most Confluence macros have SharePoint equivalents: Confluence Table of Contents → SharePoint Quick Links, Info/Note/Warning panels → SharePoint column formatting, Code blocks → SharePoint Code Snippet web part, Jira Issue macros → SharePoint HTTP web part or Power Automate. CNEXT maps all macros before migration and builds SharePoint equivalents.
Small migration (<50 spaces, <5,000 pages): 4–6 weeks. Medium (<200 spaces, <20,000 pages): 6–12 weeks. Large enterprise migration: 3–6 months with phased waves. CNEXT provides a fixed-price migration quote after a 2-day content audit workshop.
No. CNEXT runs migrations with no downtime: Confluence remains live throughout. Users are migrated in waves (pilot group first, then department by department). Old Confluence pages stay accessible until the wave cutover. After cutover, 301 redirects point old Confluence URLs to new SharePoint URLs.
Jira-linked Confluence pages require special handling. CNEXT embeds Jira links in SharePoint pages as web links and, where needed, builds Power Automate flows to sync Jira issue data to SharePoint lists. For dev teams heavily dependent on Confluence-Jira integration, CNEXT may recommend keeping Confluence for dev wikis while migrating other spaces.
CNEXT maps Confluence space permissions to SharePoint site permissions (SharePoint site members/owners/visitors), and Confluence page restrictions to SharePoint item-level permissions. We audit permissions before migration to identify overly complex permission structures and simplify them as part of the migration.
Small migration (up to 50 spaces): CHF 15,000–30,000. Medium migration (50–200 spaces): CHF 30,000–70,000. Large enterprise migration: CHF 70,000+. License savings (eliminating Confluence Cloud) typically pay back the migration cost in 1–2 years. CNEXT provides a fixed-price offer after content audit.
Yes. CNEXT migrates from Confluence Server (on-premises), Confluence Data Center and Confluence Cloud to SharePoint Online. On-premises migrations require a migration agent server in the client's network. CNEXT has migrated Confluence Data Center environments with 500,000+ pages to SharePoint Online for Swiss enterprise clients.
