SharePoint Online as Preferred Target for eRoom Migration
If you are one of those millions of organizations that have embraced Office 365 cloud platform, chances are that you have already started making use of SharePoint Online (SPO) as the preferred platform for collaboration. It is a mobile optimized cloud- and web-based social collaboration platform that enables users to easily access and share files from anywhere with correct permission. Now you can make use of same SPO platform to migrate the existing content from eRoom and continue to collaborate on SPO. SPO makes the perfect choice because –
- Most of the entities of eRoom map nicely to SharePoint objects

- eRoom users find good similarity with SharePoint folder structure
- Support for content versioning at all levels
- Native support for content audit trails in SPO
