The company has just introduced a package of Migration Services aimed at organisations upgrading to Microsoft Exchange 2010 or Office 365, helping to prevent email downtime and data loss during the migration process.

An Exchange migration can produce a number of challenges for any organization. Migrating from Microsoft Exchange 2003 to Microsoft Exchange 2010 will bring new technologies and advanced capabilities to organisations.

Document current Exchange deployment
Understanding what technologies are currently in place is vital to effectively creating the final Exchange design and the Exchange migration plan.

Assess and mitigate risks
Exchange migrations involve change and risks. Therefore it is important to identify and understand risk exposure to ensure the organisation is not negatively impacted.

Perform the Exchange migration using Mimecast
A well-designed Exchange migration plan should cover every operational aspect of moving services and data to the new platform.

Documenting, carefully recording details, and identifying risks involved in migration establish a solid guide for performing a successful Exchange migration. Mimecast's new services can help any organization to ensure an exceptionally smooth and trouble-free Exchange migration. This How To Guide entitled Exchange Migration Guide, positions the most pressing reasons companies have for migrating.

It will be useful to any company wishing to fully understand and evaluate what Exchange 2010 will bring to the business and is a perfect step to developing a business case in favour of undertaking a migration.
