Our Exchange consultants are experts in the installation and configuration of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and 2007 as well as migration from previous versions.  We will provide you with an Exchange Migration blueprint before we begin.  Our Exchange Migration consultants are skilled at addressing the unforseen issues that could surface during the upgrade.  Our services can be accomplished while avoiding or minimizing the disruptions normally associated with a Microsoft Exchange Server migration. Our best practices often call for the following migration approach:
 
Step 1 - Microsoft Exchange Server Readiness Assessment
In this step, we will review your current environment, including the Windows domain, network and SMTP architectures. Any necessary changes or problems that may cause undue risk for the migration will be discovered over the course of the assessment. E-mail Server Archiving & Storage Assessments, are also conducted prior to making recommendations on system configuration. These are developed based on performance results and the number of anticipated users. This process is designed to gather information on current usage and data retention as well as gather usage metrics for servers and storage and network traffic.
 
Step 2 - Microsoft Exchange Server Implementation
Our Exchange Server consultants will analyze business requirements and map them to Microsoft Exchange Server capabilities. Then, the physical and logical design of the Exchange Server architecture will be defined along with the major tasks that will take place over the course of the installation, upgrade or migration project. If required, the service team will also review the current message environment, existing domains and the network architecture. We also install and configure Microsoft Exchange Server software and all relevant Microsoft Service Packs and Hot Fixes. All client connections to the server and mailboxes will be verified.
 
Step 3 - Comprehensive Microsoft Exchange Server Test
Our Exchange Server consulting team will test concepts that may include customized applications, testing new versions and backup of the production environment. Based on the results of the testing, the logical and physical designs of the Exchange Server architecture will be updated along with any special implementation activities that are required.
