LiveTiles migration

LiveTiles is end of life. Plan your move to Omnia.

Omnia acquired LiveTiles in June 2024 and the platform is no longer being developed separately. We migrate LiveTiles intranets to Omnia, carrying across content, structure, metadata and permissions, with your own users signing off a pilot first.

What we do

Everything you need to leave LiveTiles behind.

No end of support date has been published and LiveTiles tells customers they remain supported for now, which is the reason to plan while you can choose the timing. A migration you schedule yourself is a very different project from one run against somebody else's deadline.

Omnia intranets

The platform LiveTiles has merged into, with targeted news, a people directory, translation and mobile access.

How we work

How a LiveTiles to Omnia migration runs.

01

Discovery

A content and structure audit of your LiveTiles intranet, including the parts that will need rebuilding rather than moving.
02

Design

Omnia environment setup and branding configuration, with the mega-menu navigation, targeted news and workspace templates designed around your content.
03

Build

Content migration and navigation rebuild in Omnia, carrying across document metadata, version history and the permission model, then a pilot your users sign off.
04

Train

Training for your intranet administrators and content editors on publishing, targeting and governance in Omnia.
05

Go live

A phased rollout plan for the full migration, followed by Omnia managed service and support if you want it.

Case studies

Case studies we have delivered.

A LiveTiles intranet we built

We built Nadara's LiveTiles intranet, with a Workday vacancies feed through Power Automate, mobile access for remote workers, a launch event and training, so we know the platform from the inside.

A smooth migration

Data migrated from CitNOW's old setup into a new SharePoint intranet and document management system, so dispersed teams can find and co-author work.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is LiveTiles end of life?

Omnia bought LiveTiles in June 2024 and the products merged into Omnia Digital Workplace. The development effort sits behind Omnia, and LiveTiles is no longer being developed as a separate platform.

Is there an end of support date for LiveTiles?

No end of support date has been published, and LiveTiles tells existing customers they remain supported on their current solution. We would treat that as the reason to plan now, so you choose the timing of the migration.

What comes across in a migration to Omnia?

Content, structure, document metadata, version history and the permission model. Some parts will need rebuilding, and we tell you which ones after the audit.

Why move to Omnia rather than another platform?

Omnia is built on the same Microsoft 365 foundation, so there is less rework than a full platform change, and it carries the capabilities LiveTiles customers rely on while continuing to receive feature updates. If native SharePoint suits you better, we can migrate you there instead.
