Does the AI see my files?
No. It sees folder names, accounts and counts, with the option of pseudonyms. File contents and your credentials never reach the model.
Can the AI delete or change something on its own?
No. It proposes plans; an engine with rules runs them, only after approval. Anything that writes to your systems waits for its own approval.
What happens with unusual permissions, like “Everyone” or a deny?
They are held until the owner decides. Sendero never grants more access than there was.
What if the migration stops halfway?
Run it again and it continues where it was. Each pass copies only what is new or changed.
How do I know everything arrived correctly?
Every file is compared with the original, and dates, authors and permissions are read back from SharePoint. The report says what is right and what is missing.
What does Sendero do after cutover?
Every night it checks what you choose (what is still saved on the old server, the permissions), tells you with a proposal of what to do and helps you run SharePoint.
Can Sendero migrate SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019?
Yes. Their extended support ended on July 14, 2026. Sendero moves sites and libraries to SharePoint Online and OneDrive with permissions kept; workflows, InfoPath forms and custom code are rebuilt separately.
Does Sendero migrate from Egnyte?
Yes, to SharePoint Online and OneDrive. Egnyte roles are translated so nobody gets more access than before, and private folders can go to each person’s OneDrive once you approve it.
How is Sendero different from SPMT or ShareGate?
Both move content well. Sendero focuses on the decisions around it: an analysis explained in plain language, permission choices made and recorded by the owners, and every file checked against the original.
Is Sendero only for migrations?
No. Many companies start with a migration, and others start with their data: lists, flows, reports and alerts on what they already have in Microsoft 365. Always with your approval.
Does the assistant message me when I am not signed in?
Yes, when it finds something that needs a decision, such as people still saving to the old server. It leaves you a message with a proposal, at most one a day, and never runs anything without your approval.
Does it work if I am not migrating?
Yes. If you already work in Microsoft 365, Sendero starts with your Excel files and lists: it turns them into lists, moves and transforms data, builds reports and indicators and alerts you when something changes. Talk to us and we set it up with you.
Does it replace Power Automate or Power BI?
It works alongside what you already have. The difference is that you ask in plain words: Sendero proposes the flow or the report as rules you can read, and nothing runs until you approve it.
Where does it run?
An agent on your server does the work with your files; the dashboard and the assistant run in Montecode’s cloud.
How long does it take?
It depends on the volume and on the limits Microsoft sets for your tenant. The initial analysis estimates it with your real data.
