Email archive migration
Fast, No Stress Migration
Get a fixed-price service that moves your email records quickly, securely & seamlessly.
Essential was doing email archive migrations long before vendors such as TransVault and Quadrotech entered the migration scene.
We know what it takes to get the best results for everyone involved, getting quick results, zero downtime for users and full compliance for your legal department.
Ever mindful of the fact that budgets are always stretched, we can also empower your own IT team to take a DIY approach to completing a migration.
Get in touch to discover the essential difference for your migration.
“The migration had enough flexibility to handle our specific requirements and get us the speeds we were looking for in terms of throughput to Office 365. I would not hesitate in recommending Essential, as a service delivery partner, to anyone asked.”

Modernise your Archives
On-prem archives lead to excessive cost, inconvenience & risk:
- Maintenance is expensive: Annual support & licencing costs & ongoing server, storage & backup overheads quickly mount up.
- Access is awkward: Accessing archives may require a VPN connection or an Outlook add-in. Archive shortcuts (aka stubs) in Exchange Online can work across the network, but this is unsupported & can create problems later ‘down the track’.
- Compliance is complex: You’ll need to govern data retention & carry out eDiscovery in multiple places.
By migrating legacy archives into the cloud you can reduce your storage costs, give end users secure, anytime, anywhere access to their data and manage the retention and security of your organisation’s email data all in one place.

Total Flexibility
We’ll help you profile what you have, and present options for dealing with a variety of different scenarios. We also advise on and fit around your overall migration strategy, working hand-in-hand with your IT team to deliver a successful outcome.
Selective
Advanced filtering lets you easily select what gets migrated and where. E.g.
- Move selected departments/folders/users
- Move items > 2 years to archive mailboxes
- Exclude deleted items
Super Fast
High-speed connectors are available to connect into most source and target archive systems, delivering optimum speed without negative impact on your network or live email/archive services.
User Aware
Archives often work by leaving shortcuts in users’ mailboxes. As we migrate your archives we will check their current location and status, and either convert or remove shortcuts as needed.
This means no surprises ‘post migration’ that could have a negative impact on user productivity and the ‘end user experience’.
Trusted
Our archive migration technology is proven in over 2,500 migrations and is trusted by major vendors including Veritas and Microsoft.
We have also performed some of the largest email archive migrations in the world, including a single project to move 3PBs.
