Migration from File System to SharePoint

Key Advantages of the DocAve File System Migrator

Effectively Consolidate Windows-based Files and Documents onto Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010

DocAve File System Migrator reduces content sprawl and improves worker productivity by centralizing documents and other collaborative assets onto a single SharePoint repository. This allows for more reliable content sharing and information discovery.

Maintain Consistent Service Levels Before and After Migration

With GUI-based, drag-and-drop mapping of local and networked file systems to the associated Microsoft SharePoint artifacts - including users and security permissions - everything is migrated with precision and ease, and knowledge workers can continue to access their content without interruption. Folder structures, document properties and all associated metadata are retained with full fidelity, ensuring that each document looks and performs just like it did on a local drive.

Allow End-Users to Migrate At Their Own Pace

The included File System Migration Web Part lets end-users migrate content to Sharepoint without losing any permissions or metadata from their original file system. Any end-user with “full control” rights over the document library they wish to migrate can perform the task independantly.

Reduce Security Management Overhead with Reusable Security Mapping Profiles

In addition to effectively migrating documents and file folders from local and networked file shares onto Microsoft SharePoint 2007 and 2010, DocAve File System Migrator provides a graphical option to map Windows permissions into their corresponding settings in SharePoint. This can be saved as a reusable profile so that every migration job can be associated with the appropriate policy settings.

Eliminate Unwanted Clutter During Migration

Selectively include or exclude content for a migration job. This provides administrators a perfect opportunity to filter out unwanted content as needed during a migration process, resulting in a fresh, simple-to-manage, and clutter-free SharePoint repository.

Flexible Deployment and Scheduling

Migrate an entire disk drive, a file folder, or just an individual file, in real-time via the live-migration mode, or according to a customizable schedule. Granular, drag-and-drop content migration and flexible job scheduling allows administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and other organizational timetables. 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.

Leverage Your Existing Infrastructure

No special hardware required – run File System Migrator within your existing IT infrastructure from a single Web-based interface. 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.
