Email Archive Migration

Future-proof your legacy email archives

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.

Migration

Is drive shipping best for large PST migrations to Microsoft 365?

Microsoft’s drive shipping service is multi-step process via which large amounts of PST files can be uploaded into Microsoft cloud. This is how it works...could it work for your migration?

Migration

Is there a shortcut to email archive migration?

FACT: If you migrate legacy shortcuts into Exchange Online, it’s highly likely they’ll ‘still work’ if your archive remains on-premises. So do you need to get rid of it?

Move your email archives with the experts

Working with essential

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.

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.

TESTIMONIAL

“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.”

Ian Gates, Director of Group IT, Capita

All data moved is fully audited and nothing slips through the net…

Detailed chain-of-custody reports
At a glance migration status updates

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’.
