With less than 90 days until permanent deletion, Cocentric has launched two fast-track packages to help organisations transition off Workplace safely and on time.

London, March 5, 2026 —

Meta has confirmed that all Workplace instances will be permanently deleted on June 1st 2026. For many organisations, that deadline is closer than it feels - Workplace has been in read-only mode since September 2025, meaning content can no longer be updated, and the clock on data retention is already running.

Cocentric is helping organisations act before it's too late.

What Happens If You Do Nothing

Any organisation still on Workplace faces the same outcome: on June 1st, user data, group content, posts, files and community history are gone. No recovery. No extension. For compliance teams, that's an audit risk. For internal comms teams, it means losing years of organisational knowledge and a platform employees still use day-to-day.

The good news is that the transition doesn't have to be complicated - but in these final few months, it does need to start now.

Two Packages Built for the Deadline

Cocentric has two ready-to-go migration packages designed to move quickly without cutting corners.

Workplace Data Extraction is built for organisations that primarily need to meet data retention requirements. It provides a clean, unmanipulated export of all users, groups and content - stored securely in SharePoint and fully browsable via search and file explorer. Typical delivery is one to three weeks.

Workplace Migration goes further, handling a full user and content migration to a target platform - including Viva Engage setup and technical configuration within Microsoft 365 - for organisations ready to launch their new employee communications environment fully populated from day one. Typical delivery is two to four weeks.

Both packages include a step-up tier for organisations with more complex requirements, covering custom data storage, high-volume migrations of 10,000 or more posts, and bespoke content mapping.

Don't know if you still need this?

Many have found a replacement platform, but haven't necessarily ticked off all the considerations for the legacy content that's about to disappear forever. To help you decide, we have published a free Workplace Migration Checklist covering the three areas organisations need to work through before the deadline - data and content, platform and migration, and people and comms.
