FEATURES

Features of our Public Folder migration solution

Pre-Migration Analysis

Prior to migration you can analyse your public folders to size up the effort involved and make informed decisions on what needs moving and where…and whether it needs moving at all.

A Seamless User Experience

By checking for mail-enabled folders, data ownership, and permissions in advance you can ensure that public folders behave correctly for on-premises and cloud-based users as they migrate.

Zero Downtime

During your migration your business activities – including mail-enabled public folders – will continue uninterrupted, with the option to synchronise content between on-prem and the cloud.

Ability to Cope With Complexity

Modern public folders have many sizing requirements.  E.g., your legacy PF hierarchies may be too big to map directly into Microsoft 365.  We can help you tackle these issues in advance.
