Migrations, Hub Sites & Apple Carts

This month's meeting features three presentations on two topics: Office 365 migration mini-case studies & SharePoint hub sites (hot-off-the-presses!).

OFFICE 365 MIGRATION MINI-CASE STUDIES
• 1TB+ from on-prem to cloud
• Content discovery -- including PowerShell scripts identifying site customizations
• Customization and remediation plans
• Punching up processing power and minimizing network latencies by using Azure VMs and Azure Storage

SHAREPOINT ONLINE HUB SITES
• Site creation & wiring up child sites
• Propagation of navigation and themes; scoped search
• Information architecture implications
• Time permitting
○ New theming and customization options (all 'modern' sites)
○ Latest OOTB web parts & updates (all 'modern' sites)

The apple carts? Just the ones upset by the new vision of flat site collection architecture -- of which hub sites serve a defining piece of the puzzle.
