Acosta Automates Transfer From SharePoint 2003 to 2007

Metalogix
Software Corporation announced that Acosta Sales & Marketing (Acosta) has
migrated from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 with Metalogix Migration Manager for
SharePoint with zero downtime or disruption to its business.

Metalogix
Migration Manager for SharePoint uses a copy-and-paste-style user
interface so Acosta can optimize its data before migrating it. They can
also migrate at their own pace while maintaining fidelity and preserving
views, version chains, metadata and user-edit information.

Acosta
has grown from a local food broker to become an outsourced sales and
marketing agency serving consumer packaged goods companies and retailers across
North America. With this growth, the
company had several hundred gigabytes of document files and found that
they needed to use many of the features in SharePoint 2003 to manage
them. But, when it came time to migrate to SharePoint 2007, moving the data
they were using in the earlier version was problematic. The Acosta team began
to evaluate third-party SharePoint migration solutions to help automate their
migrationprocess, but found that few offered the ease of use and features it
discovered in the Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint solution.

"Our
options were to do the migration manually, or leverage a solution that only
handled a fraction of the content. Neither approach was viable for us because
they invited risk of lost data and business disruption to our collaboration
environment," said John Morales, collaboration technology manager and
platform support services, Acosta Sales & Marketing. "The Metalogix
solution was very successful in handling the more advanced parts of our
SharePoint content migration and we just felt at ease with Metalogix. The
implementation and deployment of the product is dead simple. We deployed it in
our production environment in a matter of minutes with absolutely no
downtime."

Acosta
uses Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint as a core component of its
SharePoint management process. The company finds the product to be a
productivity saver, making what was once a time consuming and error ridden task
of migrating their SharePoint data, painless and error free.

"Working
with innovative firms like Acosta is a real win/win and we are pleased to work
with firms that want to implement advanced SharePoint management solutions that
enhance and add value to their existing and future content management
practices," said Steven Murphy, CEO of Metalogix. "Acosta had such a
positive and easy experience migrating from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 with
Migration Manager for SharePoint that they have come back to us to migrate to
SharePoint 2010. We strive to offer the most advanced functionality and
user-friendly migration solutions in the market that make even the most tedious
tasks effortless-all without disruption or downtime for our customers."
