Archive360, the leading provider of email archive migration software, today announced it has been featured in the recently published Osterman Research paper entitled, "Migration to Exchange Online and Office 365: A Step-by-Step Guide."  The paper provides highly detailed directions on how best to plan for and execute a migration to Microsoft Exchange Online, as well as the other applications and productivity services available in Office 365.  Archive360 is presented in the paper as an ideal solution for solving email migration challenges, in the most cost effective and efficient manner possible.  It further details Archive360's Archive2Anywhere  data migration platform, which features a legally compliant data reconciliation engine to ensure data is migrated at high speed, while maintaining 100% data fidelity and chain of custody for legal and regulatory compliance. 

"The use of Office 365 across the globe is growing rapidly, driven by a clear value proposition for organizations of all sizes," said Michael Osterman, President Osterman Research.  "While the uptake of Exchange Online is leading the early growth charge, there are significant opportunities for organizations to leverage the many other components of Office 365 to re-invent productivity.  However, from unreasonable design decisions, to missteps in the pre-migration process, to poorly executed migrations - the road to Office 365 is fraught with potential pitfalls."

Osterman continued.  "For those that wish to eliminate one of the biggest headaches associated with a move to Office 365 - migrating the email archive - I strongly encourage checking out Archive360's Archive2Anywhere solution."

"With Archive2Anywhere, users can easily install and start migrating in just about 15 minutes.  Its patented architecture enables Archive2Anywhere to integrate with a wide range of legacy archives at the database and storage level, eliminating the time-consuming error-prone process of pre-indexing or categorization that is otherwise required.  This enables mailbox and journal account extraction within hours of installation.  Ingestion into the target repository is just as fast and easy, while still ensuring chain of custody and orphaned/corrupt data reporting.  And, Archive2Anywhere is the only solution that can clean-up the mess created in Exchange by legacy email archives that 'stubbed' or added 'shortcuts' to email and attachments for mailbox size reduction," said Bill Tolson, Vice President of Marketing, Archive360.  "Bottom line, our award winning Archive2Anwhere has the broadest capabilities, is the easiest to deploy and manage and delivers the fastest performance - all at a completely unbeatable price.  However, don't just take my word for it, try it for yourself."
