Background Over the past few months I have met with a large number of clients with SharePoint 2007 implementations who are asking the SharePoint million dollar question , “Should we migrate our SharePoint 2007 environment to SharePoint 2010 or should we just go right to SharePoint 2013?
Perhaps that's at least part of the lengthier explanation why no one is selling any primers or macros, or project management planning tools that attack the particulars of this upgrade cycle. The question is fair game for implementers great and small whether taking the leap from 2003, MOSS, or diving off the deep-end of the first-timer pool

Upgrading From An Earlier SharePoint You have options when you decide to upgrade from an older version of SharePoint. But those options depend on the version you are upgrading to. In-place Upgrade In-place upgrades offer a simple way to upgrade from one version of SharePoint to the next version (for example, from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010)
In the recent AIIM research on SharePoint adoption, it was shown that “only 8% of SharePoint users have completed their upgrade to the 2010 version, whereas 21% are deploying 2010 as a first use. Of these 6% are live. 28% are in the process of upgrading from 2007 to 2010

My Users Thought “Awareness” Was a SharePoint Thing – Since Office 2007 and SharePoint 2007 hit the streets in our neighborhood in tandem, my users thought SharePoint awareness, .e.g. not having to separately Check-in/out, was part of SharePoint
