Organizations of all sizes are begging their technical departments to set up SharePoint 2010 so that they're able to make use of some of the capabilities introduced within the platform. While designing, implementing, configuring and deploying a system in and of itself has its own set of challenges, migrating into that shiny new SharePoint can be even more difficult. In this session, you will learn tips, tricks and pointers for ensuring that you've considered the various aspects of challenges that arise during a migration effort. Further, as a bonus, you will learn how not to fall prey to some of these pitfalls, but rather be able to show that you're a well-rounded professional that's thought things through before pressing the enter key.
