DocAve Migrator for File Systems Migration

Migrate. Quickly consolidate enterprise content from legacy systems or previous Microsoft SharePoint versions into Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and 2010.

DocAve File System Migrator efficiently migrates documents from traditional Windows-based file systems or networked file shares to Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and 2010. SharePoint administrators can easily automate the process of consolidating the full spectrum of corporate-wide document sources onto SharePoint, thereby maximizing the return on investment in existing content residing in local and shared file systems.

To ensure a complete and successful migration, DocAve's Pre-Migration Scanner provides a detailed analysis of the migration before it is performed. The DocAve Pre-migration Scanner will detect and notify you of any illegal characters, user permissions, user names, user domains, and other legacy elements that must be mapped in order to migrate successfully into SharePoint.

Business Advantages for File Systems Migration

  • Effectively Consolidate Windows-based Files and Documents into SharePoint 2013 and 2010

    DocAve File System Migrator reduces content sprawl and improves worker productivity by centralizing assets into a single SharePoint repository. All folder structures, document properties and associated metadata are retained with full fidelity, ensuring that each document looks and performs as it did on a local drive. This allows users to easily adopt the new platform for reliable content sharing and information discovery.

  • Simplified Migration Management Through a Centralized Administration Console

    No special hardware required – job configuration can be easily performed from a single Web-based interface. Administrators can access the console interface from anywhere to schedule multiple migration jobs and monitor job progress. It's simple, quick, and inexpensive.

  • Maintain Business Continuity with Intuitive Mapping of File System Elements to SharePoint Assets

    Clean up and reorganize File System content quickly and efficiently using customizable content and file-size filters, resulting in a clutter-free SharePoint repository, architected to align with business needs. Map content, metadata, and permissions into associated SharePoint artifacts, ensuring appropriate representation of legacy elements in SharePoint so knowledge workers can confidently continue their online projects without interruption.

  • Reduce Downtime with Flexible Deployment and Scheduling

    Migrate an entire disk drive, a file folder, or just an individual file. Granular or bulk content migration and customizable job scheduling allow administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and timetables, reducing the impact on functioning production environments.
