DIY: Why Shouldn't I Migrate My Email Archive Manually: Resource Constraint

 

archive_migration.pngThinking about moving your email archive to the cloud?  You've been tasked to manually extract your organizations email archive and into a different on-prem solution or into the cloud. Before you do that, make sure you know what challenges you will face.  
 
 

 

Without a proper software solution, with the crucial migration database underpinning it, it can be very difficult to prove chain-of-custody, which can be a necessity for heavily regulated businesses that need to prove compliance after a migration.

 Today’s IT departments have fewer engineers to manage internal systems. This imposes multiple problems when deciding to perform a migration of the mailboxes and email archive environment to the cloud. Internal IT teams normally do not have the cycles and/or resources available to learn a new migration product or create the appropriate project plan customized to your company goals. Most likely bottlenecks will pop up during the migration due to a wide variety of reasons from the source or target environment which is why it is best to work with a certified migration company to help properly prevent and if necessary mitigate these. Researching the marketplace to find certified experts to perform these tasks may seem tedious but the years of experience they bring allow your migrations to the new platform to have a smooth and secure project delivery.  New Call-to-action
