The Challenge

The Confluence system was Linux based, which added a bit of complexity to the project, in terms of initiating both analysis as well as extracting the content. In addition, once the content was imported into SharePoint, custom features, macros had to be added to make the paging and look & feel match that of Confluence. There are multiple spaces and each space has multiple pages and child pages in Confluence Cloud. Client wanted to migrate the content without losing the child page structure along with attachment files, macros, Internal page links, embedded images, diagrams, permissions, users and groups etc., and without losing the formatting into SharePoint Online/Office 365.
