Migrate from SharePoint On-Prem 2016/2019 Before Support Ends

The Clock is Ticking on SharePoint 2016/2019

Support ends July 2026.

You’re not alone – but you do need a plan.

Hundreds of New Zealand organisations are still running SharePoint on-prem 2016 or 2019. With Microsoft support ending in July 2026, the risks are real and growing:

✘ No more security updates

✘ No more bug fixes or patches

✘ No more technical support

✘ No premium extended support update (ESU) option

For high-stakes organisations, this means increased exposure to cyber threats, potential compliance issues, and loss of integration with modern Microsoft 365 capabilities.

It’s time to move – securely, strategically, and confidently.

What's at Stake

What Happens If You Wait?

✘ Security risks – You'll be forced to explain to customers, regulators, and the board why their sensitive data was exposed due to unsupported systems.
✘ Unsupported environments – When systems fail, the board will want answers about why business-critical platforms were left vulnerable and unmaintained.
✘ Failed audits – Auditors will flag legacy systems as non-compliant, leading to penalties, reputational damage, and a costly remediation process.
✘ Emergency migrations – You’ll face high-cost, high-pressure projects with limited time, fewer options, and greater risk of data loss or downtime.
✘ Business disruption – Outdated platforms increase the risk of outages, collaboration breakdowns, and slowed productivity – affecting daily operations and long-term goals.
