Key Advantages of DocAve SharePoint Migrator

Minimize Effort Required to Deploy SharePoint

DocAve SharePoint Migrator automatically moves content from source SharePoint 2001/2003/2007 instances to their mapped elements in SharePoint 2003/2007/2010. Information critical to the business in previous versions of SharePoint are kept intact, assuring users that no data will be lost during the transfer. All 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 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 environments to upgrade to a newer version of SharePoint. 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 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 2001/2003/2007 to SharePoint 2003/2007/2010 with drag-and-drop ease. Live SharePoint content can be selectively replicated for an immediate cutover to a production SharePoint 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.

Pre-Migration Scanner Ensures Successful and Complete Migration

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.
