Work with an experienced team

Essential has been helping enterprises migrate their email records from one platform to another for well over 20 years.

We know what it takes to get the best outcomes for everyone involved, getting quick results, zero downtime for users and full compliance for your legal department.

Get advanced control

Our migrations offer sophisticated control and can cope with virtually any anomaly.

  • Exclude what you don’t need, e.g., items > 7 years
  • Merge archives belonging to the same person (common after a relocation or name change)
  • Handle (& optionally re-write) different email addressing conventions
  • Identify leavers, orphaned mailboxes, etc.

Secure, Compliant Archive Migration

Our team, solutions and processes, will ensure a reliable and compliant migration.

  • Detailed chain of custody reports account for each message
  • Automatic failover, logging & task re-runs avoid data loss
  • Critical metadata is preserved for legal teams (e.g., BCC’d recipients & DL members).

What our email archive migrations deliver

100% Compliance

  • Detailed chain-of-custody reports
  • At a glance migration status updates
  • Auto-retries of any failed items

Flexibility

We’ll profile what you have, and present options for dealing with different scenarios. We’ll also advise on and fit around your overall migration strategy, working hand-in-hand with your IT team.

Choice

Advanced filtering lets you easily select what gets migrated, where. E.g.

  • Move selected departments/folders/users
  • Move items > 2 years to archive mailboxes
  • Exclude deleted items

Speed

High-speed connectors deliver optimum speeds without negative impact on your network or live email/archive services.

A great UX

Archives often use shortcuts in users’ mailboxes. As we migrate your archives we will check their current location and status, converting or removing shortcuts as needed.

This means no surprises ‘post migration’ that could have a negative impact on user productivity & UX.

A Great Track Record

Our archive migration technology is proven in over 2,500 migrations and is trusted by major vendors including Veritas and Microsoft.

We have also performed some of the largest email archive migrations in the world, including a project to move 3PBs.

What our customers have to say about us

What our customers have to say

“Although shortcuts would still work across the network after migrating to Microsoft 365, the prospect of maintaining a dedicated email archive on-prem was a non-starter. Essential worked out the best strategy for migrating our archived emails into Exchange Online.”
