BUSINESS CHALLENGE

  • The client had 1700+ community sites and approximately 1000 standalone sites in their existing IBM Connection. They wanted to migrate to a more versatile site like SharePoint.
  • One of the peripheral challenges was the rich text content present in the ‘description’ of each community.
  • IBM Connections accepts rich text description, but SharePoint has limitations on the number of characters – SharePoint accepts only 250 plain characters.
  • Additionally, SharePoint has no feasibility to bring-in rich text content in the description field.
  • All the descriptions were very important as they were the community’s homepage content.
