No Additional Investment

M+Archive allowed us to execute on the project at apace we wanted to. There were no requirements for

additional licenses or the need for investing in any third-

party migration tools. In the grand scheme of things, themigration to Exchange was a successful experience for

our School District.

IT Resource Time Saver

The migration service we got from Messaging Architectswas definitely a part of our success. The migration team

enabled the email platform migration to take place and

freed up our time to take care of the other IT operationson our to-do list.
