AvePoint is offering free licenses to migrate 100 gigabytes (GB) of data from legacy content repositories to SharePoint Server 2010 with its DocAve Migrator to new customers worldwide.

DocAve Migrator provides a fully mapped and flexibly schedulable migration to SharePoint Server 2010 from prior SharePoint releases as well as 14 additional legacy content repositories.

“We are proud to offer the global SharePoint community the first 100 gigabytes of migration to SharePoint with our DocAve Migrator tool free of charge,” said George Petrou, Vice President of Product Management for AvePoint.

“Our DocAve Migrator promotion enables companies to more quickly take advantage of our solution’s ability to map all content, metadata, customizations, and configurations to SharePoint 2010, with the flexibility to schedule the migrations to take place according to their specific organizational timetables.”

With DocAve Migrator, organisations utilizing prior versions of SharePoint as well as legacy content repositories – including Lotus Notes and EMC Documentum – can perform a scalable, comprehensive, and reliable migration to SharePoint 2010 in addition to:
* Transforming existing metadata into SharePoint 2010 Managed Metadata, ensuring total compliance with pre-established taxonomy and governance policies;
* Incremental migration options for platform co-existence between different versions of SharePoint, in order to minimize the business impact of migrating to SharePoint 2010;

* Thorough migration planning with DocAve Pre-Migration Scanner, flexibly schedulable migration plans to run at times best for the business, and detailed logging of migration jobs for post-migration reporting.
