Get the full benefit of cloud archiving
Modernise your Archives
Whether hosted on-premises or in the cloud, if your data archives are stored in a proprietary platform, they are not part of your modern workplace success story.
Now you can reap all the cost saving, security, staff productivity and compliance benefits of managing all your data in the Microsoft cloud.
- Get your archive into the optimum format for your chosen cloud.
- Be selective in what you move, e.g. only emails < 7 years old.
- Remove legacy shortcuts from mailboxes.
- Achieve optimum speeds thanks to cutting-edge performance techniques.
- Create mailbox and journal extracts.
- Get a full audit trail of each item moved.
By migrating your legacy email archives into Microsoft 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.
“This is a weight off the IT department’s minds because they are not required to prepare users for the data collection process. It also eases the concern amongst legal teams, who will generally be focused on making sure no data is missed during the PST project, an oversight that can lead to further legal expenses.”
