Migrating from versions of SharePoint that have reached end-of-life (EOL)
SharePoint Server 2013 and earlier have reached end-of-life (EOL). This means that Microsoft no longer provides security patches, technical support, bug fixes, or updates. Organizations still running these releases have increased exposure to cyber attacks, compliance issues, downtime, remediation costs, legal fees, and reputation loss. Microsoft advises that users of these legacy versions migrate to SharePoint Subscription Edition, SharePoint Online, or for in-house deployments SharePoint 2016 or 2019. Progent can provide the expertise needed for you to plan and carry out a migration from an outdated version of SharePoint to a current version of SharePoint.
