Contrary to rumors that have been appearing in the last couple of days, Mimosa Systems/Iron Mountain will not be sun-setting any features, capabilities or products. In reality we will be increasing investment in NearPoint solution development and applications, and are adding features and functionality.

For many years now Mimosa Systems has been known in the market for its innovative next-generation solutions for email, file and SharePoint archiving, which are years ahead of the Symantec Enterprise Vault solution.

Archiving software has been around for a decade now and eventually organizations will start to question if the product they initially deployed is still offering them value or if there are better solutions out there that match their requirements better.  After the decision has been made to pick a better archiving solution the obvious question arises on how to get the data out of the current existing system and into the new system.

It matters not whether you are moving from Lotus Notes, GroupWise or even a previous version of Exchange. To move to Exchange Server 2007, you will need to transport your current email to a new Exchange Server. For years I have encouraged companies to take this time to thin out the messaging environments in order to make for a smoother migration but can we easily or even legally determine which items should be discarded?
