Case Study: Leale Solutions achieves zero‑downtime migration of 400 GB and 300 site collections with AvePoint's DocAve

Leale Solutions Uses DocAve® to Migrate Microsoft® SharePoint® Content for a Medical Center with 4,000 End Users

Leale Solutions, a Microsoft-focused IT consulting team, was engaged by a northeastern U.S. medical center that used SharePoint (MOSS 2007) to support 4,000 employees across 200 departments. With Windows Server 2003 reaching end-of-support and a need to upgrade to SharePoint 2010 without disrupting departmental workflows or losing metadata, the center required a fast, flexible migration that could be completed on a tight timeline.

Leale used AvePoint’s DocAve suite (Migrator, Administrator, Content Manager) to perform an incremental, non-disruptive migration—allowing users to keep working in the source environment while nightly syncs synchronized changes. The team preserved full metadata and security settings, migrated roughly 400 GB and 300 site collections within four months, met project deadlines with no downtime, and delivered a centralized platform for ongoing SharePoint administration.
