Last Call for SharePoint 2016/2019: Secure, Migrate, and Modernize Now
  • May 20, 2025

With end-of-support (EOS) for SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 rapidly approaching, organizations face a pressing need to modernize their collaboration and content management platforms. Once support ends, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical assistance—leaving systems increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats and compliance risks. Maintaining outdated infrastructure not only exposes businesses to potential data breaches but also drives up operational costs due to the need for custom support, legacy hardware maintenance, and compatibility issues with modern applications.

As the EOS deadline looms just a day away, organizations must act swiftly. A strategic move to SharePoint Online or Microsoft 365 offers not only improved security and compliance but also enhanced productivity through cloud-native features, automation, and seamless integration with the broader Microsoft ecosystem. However, modernization isn’t one-size-fits-all. We will help you evaluate whether migrating to SharePoint Online or exploring alternative platforms better aligned with your business ecosystem is the right path forward. Our team will guide you through a tailored strategy—starting from platform assessment to planning, execution, and change management—ensuring a smooth and future-ready transition with minimal disruption.

Navigating SharePoint EOS

With end-of-support (EOS) for SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 rapidly approaching, organizations have little time left to act. Failing to modernize puts your business at risk of security vulnerabilities, compliance failures, and increasing maintenance costs. As you stand just one day away from this critical deadline, here are expert insights and actionable strategies to consider.

Secure Your Environment Immediately

Ensure all patches are up to date and backup systems are fully operational. Even a short gap in support can leave systems exposed. Disable unused services and perform a quick security audit to identify vulnerabilities.

Assess Your Migration Options

Moving to SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server Subscription Edition are the most future-ready choices. Cloud migration offers scalability, continuous updates, and better collaboration. However, an on-premise upgrade may be preferred for highly regulated environments.

Inventory and Prioritize

Classify your content and workflows—what to migrate, archive, or retire. This prioritization helps avoid clutter and accelerates migration timelines.

Communicate and Train

Inform stakeholders and train users on the new platform to minimize disruption. The success of any migration depends on user adoption.
