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.
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."
