Expanding collaborative scenarios between corporate and external users, with governance rules to handle them

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.
