Metalogix offers free SharePoint migration tool

Metalogix has added Migration Expert to its suite of SharePoint solutions. The initial release is free of charge and is designed to minimize the risk and cost of a SharePoint migration by offering a detailed assessment of current SharePoint environments.

Migration Expert is said to reduce migration risks by analyzing a user’s current SharePoint environment and providing immediate, actionable steps for migrating content onto newer versions of SharePoint including SharePoint 2013 and Office 365. Metalogix says the new offering is easy to install and simple to use, quickly scanning the SharePoint platform, including Web Applications, Content Databases, Site Collections and Sites against Microsoft recommended thresholds. After the scan is complete, Migration Expert delivers findings against 60 metrics in easy-to-understand PDF reports that can be used by both technical SharePoint professionals and non-technical business audiences.

Migration Expert is powered by the same technology as the company’s Content Matrix and is immediately available as a free download.
