Case Study: Montana State University Billings achieves 97% faster SharePoint 2010 migrations with AvePoint DocAve Migrator

Montana State University Billings Saves 97% Of Time Required To Complete Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 Migration Tasks With DocAve®

Montana State University Billings, a multi‑campus institution, needed to upgrade its SharePoint environment from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 to improve collaboration across campuses and departments. Faced with 15 GB of content and a migration process that native tools would have forced to be done file‑by‑file (a task that could take years), the university required a faster, simpler migration that preserved metadata and permissions.

MSU Billings used AvePoint’s DocAve Migrator with Live Migration to perform drag‑and‑drop migrations that completed in under 15 minutes per job—about 97% faster than the eight hours a manual process would have required. The tool maintained full content fidelity (including metadata and permissions), smoothed the transition for administrators and end users, and freed IT staff to focus on other priorities.
