MODERNISE YOUR ARCHIVES
Fixed price email archive migration
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: Retrieving emails may require a VPN or an Outlook add-in. Shortcuts (stubs) in Exchange Online can work across the network, but this is unsupported & can create problems later.
- Compliance is complex: You’ll need to govern data retention & carry out eDiscovery in multiple places.
By migrating your archives to the cloud, you’ll get to reap many benefits such as reduced risk, anywhere accessibility and lower costs.
Get a fixed-price for us to move your email records to the cloud, quickly, securely & seamlessly.
Ever mindful of the fact that budgets are always stretched, we can also empower your own IT team to complete your migration.

Move your email archives with the experts
Working with Essential
Essential has been helping enterprises move their email records from one platform to another for well over 20 years.
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.
As part of the migration service we can help you profile exactly what you have, and give you options for dealing with different scenarios. E.g.:
- Merging multiple archives belonging to the same person (this can happen after a location or name change)
- Handling (& optionally re-writing) different email addressing conventions
- Identifying leavers, orphaned mailboxes, etc.
Compliant
All data moved is fully audited and nothing slips through the net…
- Detailed chain-of-custody reports
- At a glance migration status updates
- Auto-retries of any failed items
- Inbuilt trouble shooting & online KB
Flexible
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.
