Business Brief: Seven Questions to Determine if E-mail Archiving, Migration, or Both, Are Right for You

If you’re planning to migrate from GroupWise to Microsoft Exchange, you should consider an “Archive Before You Migrate” (ABYM) approach. With GroupWise email archiving, you get several benefits, including the ability to archive some (or all) of your data at the start of the project, thereby reducing the amount of data actually migrated. During coexistence and after the migration, you get the additional benefits of an email archiving software solution, with true “single-instancing” to reduce storage and an easy-to-use, searchable database that is immediately available to users of GroupWise and Exchange. This brief discusses a variety of options that will simplify your migration to Exchange to minimize risk and secure your data.
