Quest File Migrator

Bulk Content Migrations from File Shares to sharepoint 2007 and 2010

For years, traditional file shares have been the standard way for employees to share documents and information. While useful, much of this content is unstructured as well as difficult to navigate and search. In contrast, sharepoint allows your organization to overcome many of the limitations of a traditional file share system through advanced features such as version control, alerting document check in and check out, and workflow. This has led many organizations to move forward with plans to migrate this file content to sharepoint.

But once you’ve decided to move your file share content to sharepoint, how do you do it efficiently? And how do you structure the content so your organization can quickly begin to use it in sharepoint? Quest File Migrator for sharepoint provides reliable and scalable data migrations from NTFS file shares, Novell File Systems (NFS), eRoom and other sources to sharepoint 2007 and 2010. It can also migrate folder content to document libraries.
