FIG 03 · Why it matters

2026 retired half the old SharePoint toolkit.

From Microsoft Learn and Microsoft Support lifecycle pages, read on 23 Oct 2026.

What retired in 2026 (and what to do now)

Find what your sites still use below. If the date has passed, it no longer gets security fixes or no longer runs, and the right-hand column is the replacement we build.

Sources: Microsoft Learn (End of support in 2026; SharePoint Add-ins and Azure ACS retirement; Subscription Edition lifecycle), Microsoft Support (SharePoint 2013 workflow retirement) and Microsoft 365 Message Center MC616550, all checked 23 Oct 2026. Some InfoPath forms have been reported still opening after 14 Jul 2026; that is not supported, so we plan the rebuild rather than rely on it.

FIG 05 · What you get

SharePoint consulting services

A SharePoint consultant plans how your organisation stores, finds, shares and protects content in Microsoft 365, then builds it: sites, intranets, migrations, custom web parts, permissions and the governance that keeps it working.

SharePoint Consulting · built in-house

01

Retirement and tenant assessment

We run Microsoft’s assessment tooling and our own review to find add-ins, ACS apps, 2013 workflows, InfoPath forms and broken permissions before anything moves.

02

SharePoint migration services

SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019, file shares and other clouds moved to SharePoint Online, with versions, metadata and permissions mapped first.

03

SharePoint intranets

Hub sites, navigation, news and home pages your staff actually use, designed with your comms team and tested on phones.

04

SharePoint development services

SPFx web parts and extensions, Microsoft Graph integrations and Entra ID app registrations that replace retired add-ins.

05

Workflow and form rebuilds

SharePoint 2013 workflows rebuilt as Power Automate flows and InfoPath forms rebuilt as Power Apps, tested against the old behaviour.

06

Permissions and governance

Site ownership, sharing policies, sensitivity labels and a governance runbook, so sprawl and oversharing don’t creep back.

07

Integrations

SharePoint connected to Teams, your CRM, ERP or line-of-business apps through Microsoft Graph and Power Platform connectors.

08

Training and adoption

Short, role-based training for site owners and editors, plus the how-to pages your help desk will point people to.

FIG 06 · Migration

SharePoint migration services, step by step

Pick the target first, then the tool. Most migrations go wrong on permissions and old customisations, not on copying files, so we deal with those before the first byte moves.

FIG 07 · Build

SharePoint development services

The SharePoint Framework (SPFx) is Microsoft’s supported way to extend SharePoint Online now that add-ins have stopped working. We build on it, with Microsoft Graph and Entra ID for data and access.

06principles

  • SPFx web parts

    Custom web parts for dashboards, directories, forms and line-of-business data, deployed through your app catalogue.

  • SPFx extensions

    Application customisers and field or command-set extensions for headers, footers and list actions.

  • Microsoft Graph integrations

    Read and write SharePoint, Teams, Outlook and user data through Graph, with least-privilege permissions.

  • Entra ID app registrations

    Replacements for Azure ACS app-only access, which Microsoft fully retired on 2 Apr 2026.

  • Portals on SharePoint data

    Partner, client or employee portals that sit on top of SharePoint content.

    Web portal development

  • Custom software around Microsoft 365

    When SharePoint is one part of a bigger system.

    Custom software development

FIG 08 · Intranet

SharePoint intranets people use

An intranet works when people can find the policy, the form and the person in a few clicks. We start with the information architecture, then design the pages.

06principles

  • Hub sites and navigation

    Department and region sites joined under hubs, with shared navigation and search scoped to the hub.

  • News and home pages

    News that rolls up from team sites, targeted by audience, on a home page your comms team can edit.

  • Viva Connections

    Your intranet surfaced inside Teams through Viva Connections, where Microsoft 365 licensing includes it.

  • SharePoint intranet design

    Brand themes, page templates and accessible layouts tested on desktop and phone, aimed at WCAG 2.2 AA.

  • Findability

    Metadata, content types and search tuning, so people find the current version, not a copy.

  • Owners and publishing

    Named site owners, page approval where it matters and a content review calendar.

FIG 09 · Govern

Governance, permissions and storage

Governance decides who can create sites, who can share what with whom, and what happens to content at the end of its life. It is also the groundwork for Copilot for Microsoft 365, which can only surface what users already have access to.

06principles

  • Sharing policies

    Tenant and site sharing settings matched to how you work with guests, partners and clients.

  • Sensitivity labels

    Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels on sites and documents, set up with your security team.

  • Storage planning

    Tenant storage is 1 TB plus 10 GB per licence purchased, and a site can hold up to 25 TB (Microsoft Learn, 6 Oct 2026). We size and clean up before you hit the ceiling.

  • Copilot readiness

    Oversharing found and fixed before Copilot is switched on, so it doesn’t surface files people shouldn’t see.

  • Governance runbook

    Site creation, ownership, guest access, retention and archiving rules written down and handed over.

  • Microsoft 365 managed for you

    Day-to-day Microsoft 365 administration and support.

    IT services

Power Platform

Retired workflows and forms? Rebuild them in Power Platform

SharePoint 2013 workflows and InfoPath forms don’t migrate; they get rebuilt. Our Power Apps and Power Automate team rebuilds them with the environments, data policies and pipelines IT needs to support them.

FIG 10 · Process · 6 steps

Assess first, migrate once

A fixed written quote after a free call and an assessment, migration in waves with weekly demos, and a governance runbook at the end. You own the configuration, code and documentation.

Book a call
  1. Step 01

    Free call

    Tell us what you run today, what has to change and by when. We ask about users, data, permissions and integrations, not just the product name.

  2. Step 02

    Assessment

    We inventory sites, content volume, customisations, workflows, InfoPath forms and permissions, then pick the target (SharePoint Online, Subscription Edition or hybrid) and the migration tools.

  3. Step 03

    Fixed written quote

    A written scope, a fixed quote and the plan for migration, testing and hand-over, before any work starts.

  4. Step 04

    Sprints with weekly demos

    Migration in waves and builds in sprints, each wave verified against counts, versions and permissions, with a demo of the new sites every week.

  5. Step 05

    Launch

    A planned cut-over with user comms, a rollback plan and the old system set to read-only, not switched off, until sign-off.

  6. Step 06

    Support

    Ongoing changes, new sites and Microsoft 365 updates handled on terms agreed in your written scope.

FIG 15 · Decide

SharePoint vs OneDrive vs Teams: where should files live?

Where files live decides who owns them and what happens when someone leaves. Teams stores its files in SharePoint, so the real choice is shared (SharePoint) or personal (OneDrive).
