Quest Content Matrix Training

Quest Content Matrix is the platform LeadThem Consulting uses to migrate SharePoint Server on-premises content into SharePoint Online and to consolidate file shares into Microsoft 365. Content Matrix is the SharePoint migration component of Quest Secure Migration within the Quest Security Management Platform. If your team is going to operate Content Matrix after a project, or if you are standing up an internal SharePoint migration practice, this is the training that turns the product documentation into operational fluency.

Two courses are offered. Both are available as live instructor-led training (ILT) or as self-paced student-led training (SLT) through the virtual training center. The Advanced course requires a passing grade in SharePoint Edition.

Quest Content Matrix - SharePoint Edition

Foundational course covering install, environment setup, and the source-to-target connection workflow that every Content Matrix migration depends on. The right starting point for administrators who own a SharePoint Server to SharePoint Online migration or a file share consolidation project.

How the two courses fit together

SharePoint Edition is the prerequisite for Advanced. Most teams take SharePoint Edition first, run a migration or two in production, then return for Advanced before tackling distributed migration or PowerShell automation at scale.

Content Matrix vs. ODM for SharePoint

Content Matrix is the right tool for SharePoint Server on-premises to SharePoint Online migrations and for file share consolidations into SharePoint. For Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams-connected site migrations, the right tool is Quest On Demand Migration (ODM). The two products coexist inside Quest Secure Migration and many LTC projects use both. If your scope is a tenant move, see the ODM training page .

SharePoint migration is a Quest Secure Migration play, and our resources have run it across on-premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online, file share consolidation, and tenant-to-tenant scenarios.
