Cloud services have seen huge uptake in recent years as more and more organizations move workloads previously provided by costly on-premises solutions and their associated hardware to managed cloud-based services that are regularly updated and maintained and don’t entail significant capex costs. This is particularly true in the Microsoft arena, where customers have been taking advantage of the industry-leading Office 365 platform to migrate their on-premises SharePoint farms
into SharePoint Online, an online service provided and maintained by Microsoft that offers world-class security, compliance, and capabilities.

This guide provides tips and considerations for Nintex customers looking to migrate their business processes from SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint Online. It is broken into three sections designed to assist in planning your migration, understanding some of the technical considerations, and explaining capability differences between the different platforms.

Section One provides an overview on planning your migration. Section Two discusses technical considerations. In Section Three, we provide a feature comparison between Nintex Workflow for SharePoint (on premises) and Nintex Workflow for Office 365.

At the end of this guide, you will be able to use the Nintex Migration Planning Tool to help map your migration timeline and identify resources such as migration tools and partners that can streamline and accelerate your journey to the cloud.
