DocAve 4.5 SharePoint Migrator
Seamless SharePoint Migration, Done Right
Developed to address productivity challenges, Microsoft’s SharePoint platform is an easy-to-use integrated suite of collaborative tools and functions. But how do you migrate your current SharePoint content, with all its metadata and users, to the newest version?
With the SharePoint Migrator, administrators can perform full-fidelity content migration at the item, sub site, or site level. DocAve’s efficient and reliable data transfer is unique in its ability to migrate content while retaining all of the associated metadata. This allows organizations to maximize their return on existing investment in content residing in previous versions of SharePoint.
Business Advantages
Key Advantages of DocAve SharePoint Migrator
Minimize Effort Required to Deploy SharePoint 2007
DocAve SharePoint Migrator automatically moves content from source SharePoint 2003 instances to their mapped elements in SharePoint 2007. Information critical to the business that were previously in SharePoint 2003 are kept intact, assuring users that no data will be lost during the transfer. In addition, folder structures, document properties and associated metadata, as well as permissions and access control are all retained with full-fidelity. End-users can confidently continue to access their content without interruption.
Reuse Existing SharePoint 2003 Backups to Ease Migration
Organizations have the option to perform a backup or live migration. Those choosing the backup migration option can reuse existing backups of their SharePoint 2003 environments to upgrade to SharePoint 2007. Administrators won’t have to recreate their source content selection, thus minimizing the effort required for migration resulting in improved IT productivity.
Rollback Capability Provides Optimal Assurance of a Successful Migration
With SharePoint Backup migration, organizations can rest assured that a migration task is performed to satisfy even the most stringent requirements. In the event that the scheduled jobs do not meet the needs of the organizations, they can easily rollback to their existing SharePoint 2003 product environment without missing a step. This gives administrators the opportunity to reassess the migration process to ensure a properly executed task with minimal error.
Single-Step, Real-time Content Migration Via Live Migration
The Live Migration option in DocAve SharePoint Migrator offers an “On-the-Fly” process for transferring data from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007. Live SharePoint 2003 content can be selectively replicated for an immediate cutover to a production SharePoint 2007 environment instantly, or jobs can be scheduled to minimize the impact on the environment.
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 content migration and flexible job scheduling allows administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and other organizational timetables, reducing the impact on functioning production environments.
Leverage Your Existing Infrastructure
No special hardware required – run SharePoint Migrator within your existing IT infrastructure from a single Web-based interface. Job configuration and administration can easily be performed through a centralized management console. 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. It’s simple, quick, and inexpensive.
