Case Study: City of Bloomington achieves full metadata retention and an 80% faster SharePoint migration with AvePoint's DocAve Migrator

City Of Bloomington Retains All Metadata And Reduces Time To Migrate To Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 By 80% With DocAve®

The City of Bloomington, IL—a public-sector organization using SharePoint for a decade—needed to migrate from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 while preserving full data fidelity and metadata required for court-admissible police records. Native migration tools could not guarantee metadata retention, so the city sought a third-party solution that would be fast, reliable, and support live updates.

Using AvePoint’s DocAve Migrator, the city performed a live, drag-and-drop migration that preserved all metadata, permissions, and document properties. Roughly 1 GB of content was moved in under six hours (completing the project in one business day), saving about 80% of the originally planned time and enabling immediate use of SharePoint 2010 with compliance intact.
