Archive Migrations
Moving legacy files and email archives from one system to another requires strategy, planning, and expert knowledge. Free up resources and time, stay on budget, and meet regulatory demands with the help of skilled Bluesource data archive migration experts.
Email Migrations
Email migration technology has evolved over the years, and it remains a core part of our service offering.
Legacy File System Migrations
Avoid costly maintenance, lack of support and scalability, and the frustrations of aging infrastructure by migrating a legacy file system to an upgraded system. Moving from one system to another, or to a new version of the same system, requires the type of careful planning and expertise that Bluesource offers.
Our Migration Process
Scoping
Your environment is accurately sized
Setup
Software is installed; Test Migration Performed
Reconciliation
Chain of Custody Provided; Validation
Production

ArchiveMASHTM
ArchiveMASH is how Bluesource manages to migrate data with incredible speed and efficiency. We built ArchiveMASH to support scores of different data sources with a legally defensible process and complete documentation.
Meeting Your Unique Requirements
Taking on Challenges
Our migrations team isn’t afraid of a challenge. We work with complex migrations, unique data requirements, and custom connections.
Fixing Failures
We don’t believe the standard acceptable failure rate of 4% should be the standard. Any migration failure that is fixable, we fix.
Manual Pulls
We routinely get 2-3x the data from manual pulls compared to other migration experts. We think outside the box to find solutions and drive results.
Legally Sound and Defensible
Bluesource migrations satisfiy even the strictest regulations by maintaining a full chain of custody. It tracks metadata and identifiers for all messages, including exceptions. When requested, the Bluesource migration team serves as experts by providing testimony or affidavits to back up the migration process.
Bluesource doesn’t just provide item count reports for migrations, we go beyond the basics. We’ll provide drilled down details of reconciliation efforts for errors encountered and offer details on our entire workflow for a project – even if it results in a 50+ page document.
One project involved migrating over 1 billion emails, totaling over 420 terabytes – a complete success with ZERO failures.
Collaboration
Bluesource consulting, training, and support teams have a depth of knowledge and expertise around archiving platforms. Years of experience with programs like Enterprise Vault, Mimecast, and Proofpoint means expert knowledge is shared across Bluesource.
Our Migration Policies
Filtering/Focus
Depending on the source, migrations can be filtered and prioritized by:
- Date
- Custodian
- Content
- Shortcuts
- Read Status
- eDiscovery Cases
Shortcuts / Stubs
Depending on the migration path and desired end-state, shortcuts or stubs can be deleted or replaced with their full item.
Folder Structure
Depending on the migration path, the folder structure can be maintained from one system to another.
Batching
Bluesource can coordinate with other migration efforts and split migrations into batches of users.
