SharePoint Embedded Migration
Migrate enterprise content to SharePoint Embedded using Peregrine
Organizations building modern applications on Microsoft 365 increasingly use SharePoint Embedded to deliver scalable document management capabilities directly inside line of business applications.
SharePoint Embedded provides API driven content services built on SharePoint Online, enabling developers and ISVs to integrate enterprise grade document management into their applications while inheriting Microsoft 365 governance, compliance, and security capabilities.
Migrating legacy document repositories into SharePoint Embedded allows organizations to modernize application architecture while maintaining centralized governance across Microsoft 365.
Cadence Solutions enables controlled migration of enterprise content into SharePoint Embedded using the Peregrine migration platform, designed for complex ECM modernization scenarios.
What is SharePoint Embedded
SharePoint Embedded is a Microsoft 365 capability that allows developers to embed SharePoint document management services directly inside applications.
Rather than storing documents in separate repositories, applications can store and manage files within SharePoint infrastructure using APIs.
Key characteristics of SharePoint Embedded include:
-
API driven document storage within Microsoft 365
-
Application specific content containers
-
Microsoft 365 security and compliance controls
-
Integration with Microsoft Entra identity and access management
-
Compatibility with Microsoft Purview governance capabilities
SharePoint Embedded allows organizations and software vendors to build application centric document management while maintaining enterprise governance standards. Importantly, SharePoint Embedded is a destination platform, not a legacy source system. Content is migrated from existing repositories into SharePoint Embedded to support modern application architectures.
When Organization use SharePoint Embedded
SharePoint Embedded is commonly used in scenarios where document management must be integrated directly into a line of business application.
Typical use cases include:
-
Application Integrated Document Management
Business applications such as claims systems, case management platforms, or financial systems often require embedded document storage. SharePoint Embedded enables these applications to store documents while leveraging Microsoft 365 governance.
-
SaaS and ISV Platforms
Software vendors building SaaS applications can use SharePoint Embedded to provide secure document storage without building their own file storage infrastructure.
-
Modernizing Legacy ECM Integrations
Many organizations currently integrate ECM systems such as OpenText or OnBase with line of business applications, Guidewire, Salesforce, Workday just to name a few. Migrating these integrations into SharePoint Embedded simplifies architecture while maintaining compliance controls.
-
Microsoft 365 Governance Alignment
SharePoint Embedded inherits Microsoft 365 security, identity, and compliance capabilities, enabling consistent governance across enterprise content.
Migrating Content into SharePoint Embedded
Migrating content into SharePoint Embedded typically involves transforming existing document repositories into application specific containers.
Common migration scenarios include:
-
OpenText Content Server to SharePoint Embedded
-
Hyland OnBase to SharePoint Embedded
-
eDocs document management to SharePoint Embedded
-
File share repositories to SharePoint Embedded
-
Application specific document stores into SharePoint Embedded
These migrations require careful transformation of metadata structures, permission models, and document relationships to align with SharePoint Embedded architecture.
