Sherpa Software and Binary Tree Form Strategic Alliance to Offer Complete Exchange Migration Solutions

PITTSBURGH, May 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sherpa Software, a leading provider of cloud and on premise information management and E-discovery solutions, and Binary Tree, the provider of SMART Migration software and solutions, today announced a strategic alliance to offer comprehensive solutions for Exchange migrations that align to Binary Tree's SMART Migration methodology.  Sherpa Software's Mail Attender product combined with Binary Tree's E2E Complete software provide customers with a comprehensive solution for analyzing, rationalizing and transforming their Microsoft Exchange messaging environment for one-time migration events and for the on-going Exchange Transformation Lifecycle.

"Many organizations are beginning to echo the principles of SMART Migration by looking at Exchange migrations as part of an on-going Exchange transformation lifecycle," stated Vadim Gringolts, Chief Technology Officer of Binary Tree. "The combination of our well-established methodology and the superior products of our respective organizations truly support not only a single one-time Exchange migration, but the on-going transformation of an Exchange environment to continuously provide users with the latest technologies."

SMART is a transformational approach to messaging migration, designed on the premise that migrations are a recurring process rather than an episodic one. SMART's five process areas include: Superior Strategy, Messaging, Analysis, Rationalization and Transformation. Together, Binary Tree's E2E Complete and Sherpa Software's Mail Attender provide a powerful suite of capable software that smoothly complete any SMART Exchange migration scenario.

Sherpa Software's Mail Attender product provides unparalleled analytics and complete content management for any email environment. Mail Attender allows companies to: build a statistical profile of individual user mailboxes or the entire organization; create ad-hoc reports that drill into message detail; trim mailbox contents prior to the migration by copying, moving or deleting messages based on age or other criteria; eliminate PST files prior to a migration by ingesting them into the Exchange environment.

Binary Tree's E2E Complete software simplifies and streamlines Exchange migrations by migrating users, not just mailbox data. E2E Complete provides end-users with information, notifications and control over the date that their mailbox is migrated, and it equips project managers and administrators with complete control over the migration.  E2E Complete supports the SMART Exchange Migration Methodology to automate intra-org, inter-org (cross-forest), cloud and hybrid Exchange migrations as well as provide organizations with the capability to manage on-going user migrations as part of the Exchange Transformation Lifecycle. 

"Armed with the right technology, a trusted advisor can help ensure that you are heading toward success with the discussions and planning needed to properly evolve your messaging platform for migrations and ongoing information governance," said Rick Wilson, Senior Solution Architect for Sherpa Software.  "The right guidance can help you adopt the processes, behaviors and strategy that will enable you to continually transform your messaging platform to deliver capabilities that keep your users happy, productive and mobile."
