IBM Connections is a leading social network platform that helps users in organizing and engaging people, accelerating and delivering relevant content. Early this quarter Vishwak Solutions successfully migrated thousands of corporate communities and internal blog sites of a Los Angeles based enterprise from IBM Connections to Microsoft SharePoint 2013 in weeks. Vishwak Solutions has been servicing the client in their SharePoint development & test engineering efforts for many years.
Vishwak’s Social media team studied the available migration tools in the marketplace and selected Dell Social Migrator for SharePoint because of its proven scalability.

In Phase 2, 1000+ blogs including posts, comments, categories, images were migrated to Microsoft SharePoint 2013.
Phase 1 & 2 involved converting entire communities, their structure, content and connections to SharePoint team sites.
