Migrating from Meta Workplace to Interact

Looking for a platform to replace Workplace from Meta? Discover how Interact is the best possible replacement with the added bonus of a simple migration process.

---

Organizations using Workplace from Meta don’t have long to find a suitable replacement. Without a new solution in place before Workplace ceases to provide specific funtionalities on August 31, 2025, enterprise collaboration and online interactions between employees could falter.

Migrating from one enterprise software platform to another can be a daunting task, especially when you’ve invested significant time and resources into building out content, workflows, and user adoption on your existing system. The process requires careful planning and execution to achieve a painless transition, maintain business continuity, and minimize disruption to your workforce.

Choosing the right partner and methodology can make all the difference in achieving a successful migration that sets your organization up for long-term success in your new digital workplace.

Why choose Interact as your Meta Workplace replacement?

For two decades, Interact has been at the forefront of shaping the modern intranet. Our employee experience platform goes beyond a simple intranet, offering a feature-rich solution built to support your organization’s evolving needs for years to come.

With a proven migration process, extensive integrations, and a commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, Interact is well-equipped to support your transition from Workplace by Meta.

Interact’s proven migration methodology

Interact has written a playbook that facilitates a comprehensive and disruption-free migration from Workplace by Meta. Our methodology combines automated and expert manual processes to guide a seamless transition while bringing major improvements to your employee experience and organizational goals.

Interact’s proven “Lift and Sift” methodology is meticulously designed to identify and selectively migrate critical content from Workplace to Interact, while strategically archiving outdated information. This targeted approach minimizes disruption and optimizes the user experience within your organization.

The process begins with automated migration, where Interact’s software automatically maps and transfers your existing content, such as your Knowledge Library, Groups, News Feed, Permissions, and Events, directly from Workplace to corresponding entities within Interact. This automation radically expedites delivery of your new platform, minimizing downtime and maximizing user benefit.

Content refinement: optimizing your migrated intranet

The Lift and Sift process goes beyond simple automation. Our experienced intranet experts assist in identifying which content should be migrated and which should stay behind.

Once the automated migration is complete, Interact’s team steps in to perform a series of manual tasks designed to refine and enhance your new platform, including:

• Metadata adjustments: The team maps your content to Topics, Keywords, and Best Bets within Interact, improving searchability and content discovery.
• HTML adjustments: Stylistic refinements are made to optimize your content to align with your brand guidelines and provide a consistent, visually appealing experience for your employees.
• Information architecture updates: Your content is restructured from the loose format of Workplace to the more powerful governance structures of Interact so that your intranet is well-organized, easy to navigate, and supports your organization’s communication and collaboration goals.

Throughout the refinement process, our experts work closely with your team to understand your unique needs and verify that your new platform is configured to meet them.

By combining advanced automation with expert manual refinement, Interact’s migration methodology not only supports a smooth transition from Workplace but also delivers a high-quality, customized intranet that drives employee engagement and supports your business objectives.
