Metalogix Releases Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis
New Metalogix Solution is the Industry’s First SharePoint Migration Product to Support Migration from Popular Social Computing Platforms
NEW ORLEANS, La. – Microsoft Tech-Ed North America 2010 – June 7, 2010 – Metalogix Software, the leading provider of solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint® migration, management, and archiving as well as Exchange® migration and archiving, today announced the release of Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis. Available today, Migration Manager is the first solution to enable organizations to easily and flexibly transition content from popular blog and wiki solutions (Google Blogger, WordPress, Telligent, Confluence, Wikimedia) to Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint 2010. Metalogix Migration Manager is one of a suite of Metalogix solutions to be showcased this week in the Metalogix Tech-Ed Booth, No. 2142.
“Many organizations are keen to leverage the social computing capabilities of SharePoint 2010. The ability to deploy scalable blogs and wikis with a common authoring and search experience is very valuable,” said Jeremy Thake, SharePoint Evangelist. “With Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis, organizations can transition their valuable content from popular wiki platforms like MediaWiki and Confluence and dramatically reduce their migration effort and cost.”
SharePoint now offers organizations a comprehensive platform for document management, collaboration and social computing that enhances information worker productivity. Consolidating content from disparate social computing platforms makes information more accessible and simplifies content creation—reducing both cost and IT complexity.
“Metalogix has led the field in enabling organizations to take advantage of SharePoint's social publishing features,” said Chris Risley CEO, Metalogix. “With support for the most popular blog and wiki solution organizations, we can now migrate a highly relevant and important class of collaborative content to SharePoint. Our customers can take full advantage of enterprise metadata, consistent search and authoring tools to improve their productivity.”
Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis supports the following source systems:
- Atlassian Confluence
- MediaWiki
- Google Blogger
- WordPress
- Telligent
- Any blog that supports the MetaWebLogAPI standard
Metalogix gives organizations a comprehensive way to standardize on SharePoint 2010 by combining Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis with solutions for upgrading content from previous versions of SharePoint and migrating content from existing ECM systems as well as websites, files and public folders. The company’s storage management and content management solutions help customers to run SharePoint efficiently by minimizing the growth of content databases and reducing content sprawl. This approach maximizes SharePoint’s benefits for both IT and business units while reducing an organization’s total cost of ownership.
Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis—like all of Metalogix’s migration products—is 100% Microsoft compliant. It interacts with SharePoint only through supported APIs—with no direct writes to the database—and supports SharePoint Online. The Metalogix solution migrates content from any blogging solution that supports the Metaweblog API, RSS or ATOM. It preserves blog posts, comments, and categories and maps users. When migrating content from wikis, it preserves all posts, comments, metadata and attachments. SharePoint administrators can perform migration activities remotely from any client machine and run batch migration operations at any time. Migration is performed through supported remote Blog and Wiki APIs to assure compliance and data integrity.
Metalogix Migration Manager for Blogs and Wikis is available today.
Metalogix is the innovation leader in solutions that migrate content into SharePoint, keep SharePoint environments running smoothly, manage the content throughout its lifecycle, and archive content for compliance and e-discovery. Metalogix Migration Products move content into SharePoint from almost any source system:
- From one SharePoint version to another (2003, 2007, 2010, WSSv2 or WSSv3).
- From Enterprise Content Management systems (e.g.,Documentum, eRoom, Stellent (Oracle Content Server)).
- From file systems, Exchange public folders, blogs, wikis and websites on-premise or in the cloud.
Metalogix StoragePoint Products improve SharePoint performance, security and scalability while dramatically lowering backup and recovery time frames by keeping the content BLOBs out of SQL Server.
