Move to O365 SharePoint Online Project

Currently, many departments and groups use SharePoint 2016 on premise to store documentation, collaborate on documents, keep important data about documents, and use other SharePoint features. Going forward, we will be using SharePoint Online (in the cloud). In this presentation, we will discuss the benefits and features of SharePoint Online, where it fits in the O365 ecosystem, the migration paths and process for on premise SharePoint sites, things to keep in mind for sites, and where we are at with the project. There will also be a demonstration.
