This is a critical project, and we are looking for someone with the right skills and experience to ensure its success.

Responsibilities:

• Migrate a file server from On-Premises to SharePoint for two locations: Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

• Work with On-Premises network capabilities, including 5-12 MB bandwidth and managed ADSL.
• Maintain the integrity of files with passwords and links between folders.
• Schedule the migration during non-working hours or weekends to minimize data center network disruptions.
• Utilize your expertise to overcome challenges faced with previous migration attempts using Azure migration and ShareGate tools.
• Generate comprehensive reports detailing folder permissions before the migration to meet auditing requirements.
• Collaborate with an Azure AD environment, already configured with approximately 200 active users (E5 licensed).
