Exchange Migration
Can you imagine your life without e-mail? Neither can anyone else. Messaging is
without a doubt one of the most business-critical applications in your
environment. It is also one of the most complex to manage. Since the
introduction, enterprise-messaging applications such as Microsoft Exchange have
continued to evolve, adopting technological innovations to meet the
ever-changing needs of users.
SupportSpread offer a complete solution to help you successfully manage and
migrate your messaging environment – ensuring that your e-mail service works
efficiently and at full capacity everyday, all day, even during migrations.
SupportSpread can offer solutions for assessing and executing your migration
projects to Exchange 2003 from Exchange 5.5, 2000, or 2003. These powerful
solutions help to ensure a seamless, migration process, providing a centralised
place for project management.
Domain Migration – Migration to Active Directory
SupportSpread can offer solutions for migration from Windows NT to Active
Directory (AD). These solutions efficiently manage domain splits and
consolidation, update resources and user profiles, and simplify post-migration
cleanup tasks. These powerful, database-centric solutions enable invisible
control over enterprise-wide migrations and deliver clear-cut advantages and
benefits:
Reduce Impact on Users and the Help Desk
Help to ensure an invisible migration by automating workstation profile updates.
Administrators need not visit each workstation. Users need no assistance from
the help desk. And since passwords are migrated, users can log on using their
old passwords.
Support Uninterrupted Business Workflow
Migrated users maintain access to both NT resources and migrated resources. In
addition, they can continue to access their Exchange mailboxes, SQL Server
databases and other resources.
Optimize Your Active Directory Investment
You can standardize directory data with selective property migration and common
name rules. AD can be populated by using an HR database, Exchange 5.5 or other
data sources. And your domain can be reconfigured during the migration so that
the AD design best fits your business operations.
Shorten Migration Timelines
Project length is reduced due to finely-tuned account migration and the ability
to run multiple resource updating sessions in parallel.
Reduce Workloads
Scheduling automated, unattended tasks frees you up to perform other work. The
project’s progress is easy to manage and track due to powerful reporting and
status information available on demand.
Reduce Costs and Increase Productivity
Automation and simplified project administration minimize the migration project
length and keep costs under control. Zero user disruption further assures that
no downtime costs are incurred.
