GFI Archiver helps organizations easily manage migration to Office 365

The coronavirus pandemic has significantly accelerated the migration of corporate email to the cloud

PRAGUE, April 23, 2020 – GFI Software, a provider of enterprise network security solutions, stated that during the coronavirus crisis, organizations’ interest in migrating to Office 365 cloud services has increased significantly. More and more customers are using GFI Archiver to facilitate the migration of corporate email to Office 365 and streamline email management.

Companies can easily migrate their email to Office 365 from an existing GFI Archiver archive. Alternatively, they can obtain a license, for example through the GFI Unlimited program, first transfer their email to an archive in GFI Archiver, and then migrate it to Office 365. In both cases, GFI Archiver can then be used effectively in combination with Office 365 in day-to-day operations as well. 

The main benefits of migrating to Office 365 using GFI Archiver:

• It is faster than migration from Kerio Connect or Microsoft Exchange mail servers
• It is less expensive because it does not require the purchase of specialized migration tools
• It does not require migrating all emails, saving Office 365 mailbox capacity
• There is no need to migrate and pay for inactive mailboxes (e.g., those of former employees)
• It reduces the risk of data leakage and provides better readiness for audit requirements

“Organizations that had previously planned to migrate to Office 365 are making the transition right now – the coronavirus pandemic is acting as a major catalyst,” said Jozef Kačala, Sales Engineer for EMEA and APAC at GFI Software. “Along with Microsoft Teams, email is the main reason for moving to Office 365. With GFI Archiver, customers can gain significant benefits both during migration and in subsequent day-to-day operations thanks to more efficient email management.”

The recently released GFI Archiver 15.0 for email and file archiving offers a completely redesigned user interface, easier and more efficient searching of archived items on both desktop and mobile devices, and enhanced reporting. In addition to Office 365, GFI Archiver can also work seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook, Google Apps, and Windows Server email servers, including Hyper-V and VMware platforms.
