Advanced Home Care Saves Time, Money and Headaches by Using Metalogix SharePoint Site Migration Manager
Not-for-Profit Home Health Care Organization Automates Manual Migration Tasks and Speeds Critical SharePoint Upgrade Project with Metalogix
WALTHAM, Mass., June 9, 2010 – Metalogix Software, one of the leading providers of solutions for Microsoft SharePoint migration, management, and archiving as well as Exchange migration and archiving, today announced that Advanced Home Care, an award-winning, full-service, home health care organization, has simplified and automated its migration from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007 using Metalogix SharePoint Site Migration Manager. As a result, Advanced Home Care has saved the hundreds of hours it would have taken to perform the migration manually while speeding access to critical internal documents for its 1,000 employees.
Advanced Home Care is a not-for-profit, hospital-affiliated company that offers the remarkable full-service health care that patients need in the comfort of their own homes. It operates 27 branch locations in North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee and is the largest Medicare/Medicaid-certified home care organization in North Carolina. All of its locations are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc.
As an organization with a large number of remote workers, Advanced Home Care requires common access to company information for its operations. The non-profit uses SharePoint as its primary information and collaboration platform. When it came time to upgrade to a new version, minimizing system downtime was critical so employees could maintain access to the information on which they rely.
The Advanced Home Care team began by using the native upgrade options in SharePoint but was not able to start their migration project effectively. Their environment used customized ghosted areas that were not supported by the built-in tools or any of the other solutions they evaluated.
“We downloaded multiple trial migration tools to no avail. They just wouldn't work,” said Melissa Adams, database developer, Advanced Home Care. “But the Metalogix tool worked like a charm the very first time. Without Metalogix the upgrade would have required manually moving all the documents over. Metalogix saved us time, money and headaches.”
Metalogix is the innovation leader in solutions that migrate content into SharePoint, keep SharePoint environments running smoothly, manage the content throughout its life cycle, 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)), and from file systems, Exchange public folders, blogs, and websites. Metalogix products empower organizations to securely and automatically migrate more ECM systems than any other vendor into SharePoint 2007 or 2010, either 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. The Metalogix product suite is 100% Microsoft compliant because all products interact with SharePoint only through supported APIs.
