Optos had a complex 2007 based intranet that was a large repository for documents and a staging area for project management. They had a unique business logic gating system with custom event handlers for process automation. They asked us to migrate their 2007 farm and work within the constraints of moving from on-premise to cloud, and also coordinate with their overseas office. In 2017 we migrated from 2010 to 2013 to 2016 with zero business downtime, and continue to maintain their SharePoint farm health.

• 2007 - we built a new 2010 three-tier farm and a cloud host and proceeded on several customary preliminary activities. These included archival of old data, pruning of unused sites, retraction of Fab 40 templates, and generally making their current databases as healthy as possible.
• 2013- We then did a series of test migrations to 2013 and each one would yield additional information about third-party components or irregularities about their existing database. We would remediate the source, perform another test migration, evaluate the result?s and repeat as needed.
• 2017 we brought their farm up to SharePoint 2016 with zero business downtime. (Yes we can do that for you also!)

• Engineering Change Request - Built to replace an InfoPath form and document a process that was hard to manage. The App has a workflow that automatically generates tasks for users at each step of the approval process and updates the status at each step. The process also includes the ability to generate a new ECO based on all the information in the ECR to limit any duplicate data entry.?
  
• Engineering Change Order - Built to replace a paper and list based system that had users duplicating many things throughout the process and was setup to make the tracking of the status and stage of the approval process more transparent. The workflow take all the data that was already entered for the ECR and populates the list and all its related libraries to save on duplicate entry and data errors.
