The Words of an Impressed Client:

"Essential Business Technologies managed our migration to Windows Small Business Server with the professionalism I’d come to expect of them, in the face of some acute business pressures on our company’s side. They communicated clearly with me, as company IT liaison, what needed to be done and in what timeframe so that I understood and had a clear picture of what would happen in technical and practical terms. Once the process started, Chris and his team methodically saw it through to completion. Some migration and minor teething issues arose and I was very impressed at how Chris was clearly on par with, if not ahead of, the technical support lines that needed to be contacted. We were up and running in the timeframe promised with all teething issues cleared up swiftly while we got back to work using the new system."         A.M

Swing Migration

We use a number of methods including 'Swing Migration' process which has revolutionised the way we can migrate your data. It is a process to accomplish a version upgrade, server replacement or domain infrastructure upgrade without giving up your domain, or your server name, or the integrity of your Exchange in the process. Remarkably, you can test the project to completion all whilst working offline with an open time line. You get a clean server installation that retains all the critical Active Directory domain information and predictable results.

Benefits

Continuing with the tradition of safe construction offline, and transparent replacement procedure for the
new server, Swing Migration provides the following benefits:

1. Same Domain Name
2. Same Server Name and IP address which means less confusion for users
3. Same Exchange Information Store intact with all your archived emails carried across
4. No Impact to Workstations or User profiles which means no interuption to your end users
5. Business is unaffected during construction of the new server
6. Work offsite and/or offline, open timeline allowing for a orderly transition.

Notice that all of the critical path construction and compliance for the migration is performed offline, without making changes to the production domain or server. In addition, all of the data migration tasks can be fully tested with trial data in advance if you prefer to level of planning. Once you are satisfied with the migration results you have tested offline you can commit to a predictable transition online.
