|
| NHSmail, the
national email and directory service for the National Health
Service (NHS) in England and Scotland, decided to

managed through a contract with Cable&Wireless. Transend

Weston General Hospital -- IMAP to Microsoft Exchange Migration |
|
| Weston Area Health NHS Trust
runs the 327 bed Weston General Hospital with 1,800 staff in Somerset, UK.
Their local IMAP-based email system was outdated and becoming costly to
maintain. Rather than spend £150,000 in upfront investment costs for a
replacement system, the Trust decided to migrate to NHSmail (operated by
Cable&Wireless) using Transend Migrator to perform the data migration.
The migration was completed in just a couple of hours on successive Friday
evenings between October and November 2009 with no impact on users and no
email downtime. It was a totally seamless experience. |

Procter & Gamble -- Notes and Sun iPlanet to Microsoft Exchange Migration |
|
| In 2007, Procter & Gamble (P&G), the world's leading consumer products organization with over
138,000 employees, began an 18 month migration project from Lotus Notes and Sun iPlanet to
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook (currently upgrading to Exchange Server 2007).
Data migration can slow email migration and if done improperly can cause user backlash.
P&G decided to allow individual users to initiate the email
migration process through the use of Transend Migrator. Once the infrastructure and user e-mail accounts were in place, P&G
began the user migration by deploying Outlook and Transend Migrator to user desktops. Users could
migrate their data at their leisure or they could choose to receive assistance if they needed it. By the
end of 2007, about 100,000 users were migrated, with about 4,000 users per week being moved at the
peak. The remaining users were migrated in the first half of 2008, with a final user count of 130,000.
According to Jeff Nicolai, Service Manager for eMail and Web Content, P&G,
“We did have speed
bumps along the way, but we completely exceeded everyone’s expectations in the limited amount of issues we had to face.” |

|
| Cisco
Systems, a world leader in IT communications, with the help of
Transend Migrator migrated 40,000 mailboxes over 16 weeks from a
variety of email systems to Microsoft Exchange. The project was
completed roughly 30 days ahead of schedule even though the
start was delayed by more than a month. The speed of
migration was 50% above target and avoided $500K in outside
service costs and $800K in legacy license fees. "The email
migration was planned so that it could be carried out without
disruption in multiple regions in parallel," said Jerry
Applegate, Cisco IT Messaging Migration Program manager. And, according
to Teh Cheng, Cisco Global Email and Calendar Program manager,
"Automating the entire migration workflow yielded a surprising
speed of execution." |
