Organisations have been migrating from Mimecast to reduce costs, achieve seamless integration with existing platforms (especially Microsoft 365) and centralise security. A more streamlined, cost-effective, and holistic approach to email security, archiving and compliance can be achieved within their existing cloud infrastructure.

An analysis of our overall client base (completed projects or in the pipeline) and the revenue represented demonstrates the ongoing trend of a year-on-year increase. Specifically, there has been 200% growth in the

PST files are still causing serious security, productivity, and compliance challenges for organisations, with the risks of near impossible eDiscovery procedures leading to hefty fines.

By eliminating PSTs for good, data security, enhanced user productivity and effective eDiscovery is possible. Compliance risks are mitigated, and IT workload and costs significantly reduced.

Enormous Search Costs

If data is held in PST files, it’s essentially off the grid, not searchable by centralised IT, and can easily be

In the past 12 months we have seen a further shift in migrations from one cloud platform to another.   

Since 2010, we have migrated email data from 21 different source archive platforms to a variety of destinations. A few years ago, there appeared to be a new push into Google rather than Microsoft Office 365 (O365) but in the past 12 months, only 7% of the migrations have been into Google compared to 36% into

 Public Folders in Microsoft Exchange enable email and documents to be shared between multiple people.

Organisations that are transforming their underlying email platform, by migrating from Exchange to Office 365 for example, need to migrate the contents of Public Folders (PF) to new targets including SharePoint. Each project has its unique technical challenges as PF usage varies by customer.  Business processes that may work well in PFs don’t necessarily translate easily to Shared Mailboxes, Office

The most widely cited reason is that it simply is not high enough priority or that the daunting and very costly first step of reviewing the archive, deduping etc, still must be undertaken. It can be a laborious process, particularly if you are working with older technologies and multiple formats and platforms, which in

This blog series explains some of the specific aspects that make migrations very complex. 

We start with chain of custody: what is it and why is it so important in data migrations? 

A chain of custody is the complete, documented, chronological history of the possession and handling of a record throughout its lifetime - from creation to destruction and it needs conscientious handling. Proper chain of custody registers through whose hands the information has passed

Our most recent blog explored the risks of PST files and puts the question to IT departments, whether they have full control over their companies’ data set and if they are actively dealing with their PST dilemma. What can be done to limit the risks and exposure of PST files to your business? Below highlights the steps to take to understand the data you hold and the actions needed to secure it.

Understand your data.

Are you aware of the volume of data you hold and its value? TrueSwift has successfully completed the secure migration of 1 billion messages for a key client. The client, a FTSE 100 listed company, is based in the UK with over 12,000 employees globally.

The client was migrating from their on-premise Microsoft Exchange to the Exchange Online (‘Office 365’) hosted platform but needed expert assistance with legacy email archived in Veritas Enterprise Vault.  With 180TB/1,000,000,000
