Why It’s Worth Planning Ahead

You probably already know the July 2026 deadline is approaching. Maybe it’s been in the backlog, and for good reason. Migrations take time, and the day job doesn’t stop.

This isn’t about creating panic. It’s about giving you space to plan properly, avoid last-minute pressure, and make decisions that work for your team and environment.

Security Updates Will Stop

After July 2026, Microsoft will no longer provide patches or fixes. That means any future vulnerabilities stay open, not ideal for audit-readiness or peace of mind.

Extended Support Costs Add Up

ESUs are available, but they get more expensive each year, and don’t address workflow issues, legacy integrations, or growing maintenance needs.

Support Skills Are Thinning Out

Fewer teams are keeping deep SharePoint 2016/2019 knowledge in-house. If something goes wrong, fixes take longer.

Workflow Tools Are Being Retired

Nintex, InfoPath, and SharePoint Designer are being phased out by December 2025. If you rely on them, it’s worth mapping replacements early.

FAQs - Your Sharepoint Questions, Answered

What is the "Sunset" for SharePoint Server 2016 & 2019?

It refers to the end of mainstream support for these versions, meaning no new features, security updates, or non-security fixes will be released by Microsoft. This increases risks related to security, compliance, and functionality. According to the document, the risks domains begin after July 14, 2026.

Why should I migrate or transition off SharePoint Server 2016 & 2019?

Continuing to run unsupported SharePoint versions introduces several risks, including increased cyber-exposure, compliance violations, lack of access to new features and innovation, and higher operational costs.

Is your assessment free of charge?

Rockhop offers a two-week End-of-Support Assessment, which delivers a quantified risk scorecard, board-ready business case, and phased roadmap. Please contact them for pricing details.

How long does a typical migration/transition off of SP on-prem take?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your environment, the amount of data, and the chosen destination. The Rockhop's Five-Phase Transition Framework helps to accelerate migration off of SP on-prem. A detailed timeline will be developed during the assessment phase.

What is Rockhop's five-phase transition framework?

It's a structured approach to transitioning from on-premises SharePoint to modern cloud platforms. The phases are: 1. Mobilize & Assess, 2. Strategy & Roadmap, 3. Remediation & Preparation, 4. Migration Execution, and 5. Optimize & Innovate.

Do you use any 3rd party tools for workflow discovery?

Yes, Rockhop uses both native and 3rd party tools like ShareGate/SPMT for migration and dual-run cut-over, and may employ other third-party tools for discovery and migration depending on the specific needs of the project.

What are the risks of "doing nothing"?

Risks include security vulnerabilities, compliance violations, lack of access to innovation, and increasing operational costs.

What are the potential benefits of migrating to SharePoint Online and/or the Power Platform?

Benefits include improved security, enhanced collaboration, access to new features and innovations, reduced IT costs, access to AI capabilities like Copilot (and Agents), and improved compliance.

Why is it free? What's the catch?

There isn’t one, but places are limited.

We offer a set number of these each month to organisations we believe we can genuinely help. This helps build trust and momentum before deeper engagement, if needed.

What happens after I submit the form?

We’ll review your submission and follow up within 2–3 business days. If your organisation is a good fit, we’ll schedule a kickoff call and get started right away.

What if we’re not ready to commit to anything yet?

That’s fine. You can start by downloading the free End-of-Support Playbook — it outlines your options, risks, and planning steps in a simple, jargon-free format.
