Soarsoft Africa announces Metalogix support of content migration from SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 to SharePoint 2010 RTM

Customers can use a Microsoft supported solution to move valuable content from pilot projects to the production-ready release of SharePoint 2010.

Metalogix Software, the leading provider of solutions for Microsoft SharePoint migration, management, and archiving as well as Exchange migration and archiving, has announced that it will enable customers to migrate sites, lists and libraries that have been stored in the SharePoint 2010 Beta 2 version to Microsoft's release-to-manufacturing (RTM) SharePoint 2010 release.

Says Chris Hathaway, Director at local distributor Soarsoft Africa: “Many organisations have undertaken pilot projects or proof-of-concept projects based on the pre-release version of SharePoint 2010 that produced useful and functional collaboration environments with valuable content. With the release of Microsoft's RTM build of SharePoint 2010, these same organisations need to move that content from the Beta 2 version to the RTM build of SharePoint 2010, and are looking for a flexible, Microsoft-approved way to accomplish this.”

“Metalogix SharePoint Site Migration Manager 2010 addresses this critical need by leveraging supported Microsoft APIs to move content from previous versions of SharePoint - including SharePoint Server 2010 Beta 2, Microsoft Office Server 2007 and Portal Server 2003 - to the RTM edition of SharePoint Server 2010,” says Rasool Rayani, director and co-founder of Metalogix.

“Metalogix gives the SharePoint community a flexible on-ramp to the RTM release.”

SharePoint Site Migration Manager 2010 offers gradual/granular migration support with no service pack or hardware prerequisites from SharePoint Portal Server 2003, WSSv2, MOSS 2007, WSSv3, SharePoint Foundation Beta2 and SharePoint Server 2010 Beta2. With it, SharePoint administrators can define when specific content is migrated as well as reorganise and re-template SharePoint sites and lists easily as they migrate. SharePoint Site Migration Manager 2010 is 100% Microsoft compliant. It interacts with SharePoint only through supported APIs - with no direct writes to the database - and supports SharePoint Online.

Concludes Hathaway: “As a distributor and supplier of Metalogix solutions, this move further bolsters our confidence in the Metalogix brand, which has once again demonstrated its ability to keep abreast of Microsoft's developments and trends as fast as they are delivered to market. Our extensive skills and experience in the niche field of archiving, migration, messaging and collaboration helps us advise and assist these clients through successful migrations from one platform or version to another, allowing them to leverage the benefits that newer iterations deliver.”
