Quest Public Folder Migrator for SharePoint

Automated and Cost-Effective Bulk Migration
An easy-to-use migration wizard automatically moves Exchange Public Folder content to the new SharePoint platform. Various migration scenarios are supported: simple direct folder to list mapping, public folder tree to a document library and public folder tree to a site. Critical to the migration project is the ability to select default mapping rules to transform public folder content and metadata into SharePoint. With Public Folder Migrator, both field and permission mapping rules are provided to ensure compatible content migration and security. The mapping rules are adjustable to support custom metadata or specific mapping requirements. Public Folder Migrator also allows you to set up new e-mail aliases for existing e-mail-enabled public folders, allowing automated e-mail processes to
continue. With these new e-mail aliases in place, end users can also continue to forward e-mail content to the appropriate container.

Flexible Migration Job Handling and Creation for Complete Control
With multiple migration job handling, you have the flexibility to reorganize folder hierarchy on the fly, without impacting the new SharePoint environment. You can also improve performance by scheduling migration jobs as required, to move content at the optimum time. The Public Folder Migrator console provides centralized project management for configuring and tracking multiple jobs and servers within the same project. In addition, it allows you to automate job creation for handling multiple jobs concurrently, accelerating the migration process.

Continuous Synchronization for Migrating the Latest Content
For large and complex migration projects, you can continually synchronize environments to discover any new items. This ensures that your migration project always includes the latest content. Any new Public Folder content that appears after the migration project begins is replicated to the target SharePoint site. Alternatively, you can use Public Folder Migrator to revoke permissions in the source Public Folder environment so new content is not added by end users, giving you more control over where data is stored.

Migration Job Scheduling for Reducing Impact on the Organization
With Public Folder Migrator, you can easily schedule migration jobs to accommodate the unique needs of your organization. This allows you to minimize the impact on your production environment with jobs slated for off-peak hours or less hectic days of the week.

Seamless Switch to SharePoint for Business Continuity
With Public Folder Migrator, you can switch instantly to the new SharePoint content. This allows you to carefully plan migration projects and put them in effect when required for the
organization. For example, you can migrate content and test the target environment before users actually connect to the new SharePoint site. Once migration is complete, the new
SharePoint site is displayed in the preview pane whenever users select the migrated Public Folder in Outlook. This encourages them to start collaborating on the new SharePoint platform.

Rollback Capability for Safeguarding Your Environment
Despite careful planning, a migration may not meet your expectations. When this occurs, PublicFolder Migrator enables you to roll back to a pre-migration state. It also allows Outlook
users to continue using Public Folders while you assess the environment and adjust for another migration.

Breadth of Migration Support for Convenience
Public Folder Migrator supports migrations from Exchange Public Folders to SharePoint 2003, 2007 and 2010 technologies. Content can be migrated from Exchange Server 2000, 2003 and 2007 including permissions.

Migration to Microsoft SharePoint Online

Then content databases are shipped to Microsoft for reattaching in the hosted environment. To learn more visit www.quest.com/bpos.
