News Facts:
- Building on its legacy of migration
leadership, Quest Software further simplifies migration to
Microsoft Office 365 and hosted Exchange with the new Quest®
OnDemand Migration for Email. This user-friendly, cloud-based
migration solution, which is built on Microsoft’s Azure platform,
is ideally suited for both organizations and Managed Service
Providers looking to migrate their customers to a hosted
platform.
- As one of the first providers to offer
Office 365 migration solutions when the comprehensive cloud service
was released last year, OnDemand Migration for Email specializes in
delivering a stress-free migration, as well as capabilities that
empower organizations to take full advantage of the functionality,
convenience and cost savings presented by the cloud.
- OnDemand Migration for Email is
available for $10 (USD) per migrated mailbox from the Quest
OnDemand Portal.
Quest Ensures Simple and Secure Office 365 Migrations
- Quest’s broad migration solution suite
encompasses a full range of migration and coexistence solutions to
eliminate/minimize the risk of email migration projects. For
example, Quest solutions ensure business continuity so that users
who have migrated can continue to communicate and collaborate
(i.e., schedule meetings or see calendar availability) with users
who have not yet been migrated.
- To that end, Quest has enhanced
Coexistence Manager for GroupWise, which now supports GroupWise 7.
This new version provides true coexistence between GroupWise 7 and
Exchange 2010 or Office 365. The solution also offers GroupWise
2012 coexistence support for Novell customers who have moved to the
latest version of GroupWise.
- GroupWise Migrator for Exchange, which
will be available later this quarter, contains several enhancements
that reduce interruptions to business productivity, including the
ability to migrate recurring meetings that were created in
GroupWise, and resource creation within Active Directory (i.e.,
meeting rooms and equipment) during a migration to Exchange.
- Quest’s time-tested and field-proven
best practices for migrations help organizations avoid common
mistakes (see Five Common Migration Mistakes—and How to Avoid Them)
and better prepare, migrate, coexist, and manage the process of
moving to new versions of technologies including Active Directory,
Exchange, Office 365, SharePoint, and Windows.
Coca-Cola Bottling Company United Successfully Migrates 1,200
Users to Microsoft Office 365
- Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, the
largest Independent bottler in the United States, recently migrated
1,200 knowledge workers from Lotus Notes to Office 365 as part of a
strategy to modernize its environment, increase collaboration with
other bottlers, and reduce IT costs.
- The company teamed with Quest Premier
partner InfraScience and Microsoft Corp. to streamline the process
of migrating 1,200 large mailboxes with 250,000 contacts and more
than 2 TBs of data to Microsoft Office 365, while taking advantage
of Quest’s flexible, automated migration solutions to minimize user
disruption, improve access to mobile devices, and add cloud-based
disaster recovery capabilities.
- “The combination of the InfraScience
team and Quest’s migration solutions enabled us to exceed
expectations in terms of ensuring a fast, cost-effective migration
that was easy and painless for our users,” said Mike Neighbors,
vice president of information technology for Coca-Cola Bottling
Company United. “We not only accomplished our top goals, but also
achieved an annual cost savings of at least 15 percent, including
conversion costs, when compared to the cost of running our previous
Lotus Notes environment.”
- “Successful migrations require strong
customer partnerships, robust tools and staged implementations,”
said Mark Pierce, co-founder and managing officer for InfraScience.
“We give a lot of credit to Coca-Cola Bottling Company United,
Quest and Microsoft for working closely with us so we could fully
leverage our combined knowledge, expertise and best practices to
optimize the entire process.”
