About Evelyn Runnals
Evelyn brings a rare combination of technical depth and real-world delivery experience. She has led and contributed to dozens of large-scale SharePoint migrations and intranet implementations, working across industries including entertainment, utilities, education, and financial services.
Her work consistently focuses on one core principle: successful Microsoft 365 environments are built on strong architecture, not just tools. That philosophy aligns closely with how dataBridge approaches every engagement—starting with structure, governance, and clarity before implementation.
Over the course of her career, Evelyn has designed and executed migrations involving hundreds of site collections, thousands of users, and terabytes of content, while also modernizing legacy workflows using the Power Platform.

Evelyn’s Approach
Evelyn approaches every engagement with a structured, architecture-first mindset. Rather than focusing solely on moving content, she ensures that each migration or solution is an opportunity to improve how information is organized, secured, and used.
Her approach typically includes:
- Deep discovery and analysis of existing environments
- Clear mapping of business requirements to technical architecture
- Structured migration planning with phased execution
- Governance alignment to ensure long-term sustainability
- Thoughtful integration of Power Platform solutions to replace legacy processes
This aligns directly with the SharePoint Strategy & Roadmapping approach used across dataBridge engagements, ensuring that every solution is built for long-term success, not just short-term delivery.
What Evelyn Helps Clients Solve
Evelyn works with organizations that are dealing with complex, often fragmented Microsoft 365 environments and need a clear path forward.
She helps clients:
- Migrate from legacy systems and on-premises SharePoint to SharePoint Online
- Rebuild intranets into modern, scalable digital workplaces
- Replace outdated workflows and InfoPath forms with Power Platform solutions
- Establish structured environments with clear governance and permissions

Thought Leadership and Insights
Evelyn’s experience reinforces a key principle: most migration challenges are not technical—they are structural.
At dataBridge, we consistently see that organizations struggle not because of tools, but because of unclear ownership, inconsistent governance, and poorly defined information architecture. Evelyn helps clients address those root issues, ensuring that migrations and modernization efforts actually improve the environment.
Her work also directly supports emerging priorities like Copilot Readiness for SharePoint, where clean structure, permissions, and metadata are critical to producing accurate and secure AI-driven results.
