Open-Xchange Releases Free Migration Tool for MS Outlook Users
📅 - Company simplifies switching from Outlook and Exchange to Open-Xchange Server.
Open-Xchange, a provider of open source collaboration software, today announced the availability of data migration tools for users of Microsoft Outlook to easily move e-mails, contacts, appointments and tasks to Open-Xchange Server.
The company states that whether users have used Outlook as a stand-alone e-mail client or in combination with Exchange Server, the Open-Xchange Microsoft Outlook Uploader enables all users to easily move their data, stored as PST files (Personal Storage Table) to Open-Xchange Server. A PST file contains copies of e-mail messages, calendar events, and other items on the local computer. Due to PST file size limitations, PST files can be distributed amongst several workstations without a proper back-up strategy. Having all data centralized on the Open-Xchange Server enables administrators to integrate that data into their server-side backup environment and security policies.
It avers that the Uploader supports the following two customer scenarios:
"We are significantly minimizing the hassle and cost for migrations to our open source collaboration software," said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange. "We made the tool as intuitive and easy as possible to ensure that every user can install and use the tool without support."

It avers that the Uploader supports the following two customer scenarios:
- The tool enables users to move from Microsoft Outlook to the Open-Xchange web client to help organizations significantly reduce costs for Outlook licenses. The migration process is completely transparent - the Uploader keeps familiar folder and data structures in place to make it easy for the user to instantly access all e-mails, contacts, calendars and tasks using Open-Xchange.
- For organizations moving from Microsoft Exchange Server to Open-Xchange, while keeping Microsoft Outlook for some or all users, the tool supports an easy-to-use user-centric migration process. Users who would like to clean-up their Outlook data will benefit from the Uploader's manageability and flexibility.
