Key Advantages of the DocAve Public Folder Migrator

Protect Your Investment Through Lossless Migration of Microsoft Exchange Public Folders

DocAve Public Folder Migrator automatically moves content from source Exchange folders to their mapped SharePoint lists and libraries. Information critical to the business that was previously in Exchange is kept intact, assuring users that no data will be lost during the transfer. In addition, folder structures, attachments, document properties and associated metadata, are all retained with full-fidelity to ensure that each document looks and performs just like it was in Microsoft Exchange.

Simplified Migration Management Through an Intuitive Administration Console

Job configuration and administration can easily be performed through a single DocAve Web-based interface. Schedule multiple jobs within the same migration plan and track and monitor job progress. This allows administrators to access the console interface from anywhere and have the ability to perform any migration task remotely.

Reduce Costs with Flexible Deployment and Scheduling

Migrate an entire instance, public folder, or just an individual content item. Reorganize or create new folders upon migration to clean up existing clutter. Granular or bulk, drag-and-drop content migration - live or according to customizable schedules - allows administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and other organizational timetables, reducing the impact on functioning production environments. A dynamic FTP-style graphical interface and customizable illegal-character mapping lets administrators deftly map content, metadata and securities, while customizable content and file-size filters allow for efficient and fast plan building. The ability to create new SharePoint groups during migration jobs makes execution that much quicker.

Accelerate Cutover to SharePoint as a Productivity Platform

Upon completion of a migration job, users accessing a migrated Exchange Public Folder will be automatically redirected to the new SharePoint site in the Outlook preview pane. This encourages end-users to access their content without interruption and start leveraging the benefits of SharePoint as a collaboration platform, thereby ensuring business continuity for tasks previously performed within Exchange Public Folders.

Leverage Your Existing Infrastructure

No special hardware required – run DocAve Public Folder Migrator within your existing IT infrastructure from a single Web-based interface. It’s simple, quick, and inexpensive.
