Welcome

Emailmigrations.com is an independent website run by Rob Walton, a qualified messaging consultant with 20+ years experience in the IT industry- leading, and delivering, complex enterprise email migration projects across diverse industry sectors for global customers.

When migrating between email platforms, the actual email migration part of the project is often given lesser importance than other parts of the project – such as the architecture & design of the new Exchange 2010 email platform.   This is a common mistake, and higher focus must initially be placed on the email migration strategy part of the wider email migration project.   Once the email migration strategy has been determined, then focus can begin to change onto other parts of the email migration project.    If your email migration project does not have a documented (and agreed) email migration strategy in place, then I would advise you spend time reading through the information in this website, and get in touch with me if you need help developing one.

Email Migration Guide:   The central, unique, theme of the website providing a generic “real-world” guide on how to succeed with your email migration project, based on the author’s own experiences.  This includes an insight on what to expect on a typical Migration Day.

Blog: Regular technical posts from the author on matters related to email migration projects that you may find useful.   I have tried not to repeat material that you can find elsewhere on the internet.   Comments are welcome.

Migration Technologies: This section details the email migration products (eg: Microsoft, Binary Tree, Quest) that you should consider for your email migration activity.

Cloud: Hosted Exchange 2010 Cloud offerings are becoming more common, and affordable.   Often referred to as the Cloud, this section covers this topic in terms of a typical decision process you could follow before deciding to move your company email system to the Cloud – and what email migration approach you should take to get there.   The financial arguments for moving your email to the Cloud are very strong, but you need to give equal weight to the technical arguments also.
