DocAve SharePoint Migrator for Microsoft SharePoint

Developed to address productivity challenges, Microsoft’s SharePoint platform is an easy-to-use collaboration tool and knowledge repository. Many organizations, however, are still searching for simple and reliable solutions to migrate existing content from previous versions of SharePoint into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) and SharePoint 2010, in order to take best advantage of this feature-rich release.

With DocAve SharePoint Migrator, administrators can perform full fidelity content migration at the Item, Subsite, 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, letting organizations maximize their return on existing investments.

To ensure a complete and successful migration, DocAve's Pre-Migration Scanner provides a detailed analyses of the migration before it is performed, delivering an itemized report of all elements that will not migrate successfully unless addressed further. 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.

As with all AvePoint software, DocAve SharePoint Migrator leverages only fully supported Microsoft methodologies and API’s.

Key Advantages of DocAve SharePoint Migrator

Minimize Effort Required to Deploy SharePoint 2007

DocAve SharePoint Migrator automatically moves content from source SharePoint 2003/2007 instances to their mapped elements in SharePoint 2007/2010. Information critical to the business previously in SharePoint 2003 or SharePoint 2007 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 2003 and 2007 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 2003/2007 environments to upgrade to SharePoint 2007/2010. 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 2003/2007 to SharePoint 2007/2010 with drag-and-drop ease. Live SharePoint 2003/2007 content can be selectively replicated for an immediate cutover to a production SharePoint 2007/2010 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.
