Migration Manager for SharePoint
Simplify your SharePoint migration, consolidation and restructuring

Overview:

Migrating to a new SharePoint environment, or reorganizing an existing one, is a risk—especially if you don’t have the right tools. There are significant gaps in native migration tools with both the SharePoint 2010 and 2013 releases. Because these tools lack automated functions, manual operations will increase, making inadvertent mistakes that lead to downtime, lost data and inaccurate structure more likely. Luckily, Dell can help.

Migration Manager for SharePoint helps you avoid these risks with automated features and innovative capabilities. The tool reduces the time and cost of migrating, consolidating or reorganizing scattered SharePoint content, while preserving your valuable metadata and also improving business intelligence. You’ll be able to migrate content, permissions, workflows, customizations, web parts, security settings and more with ease and minimal impact on your infrastructure using Migration Manager.

Reduce the time, risk and cost of migration while minimizing the impact on your SharePoint environment using an agentless migration solution. Migration Manager for SharePoint helps you migrate and consolidate content from SharePoint 2003, SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010, Windows file shares and Exchange public folders directly to new versions of SharePoint, as well as reorganize existing SharePoint site structures to streamline information access, optimize content storage and enhance recovery time objectives.
