Metalogix Software, the trusted provider of content lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange and Cloud platforms, announced that its Metalogix Migration Manager for SharePoint won the award for Most Innovative SharePoint Cloud Solution in the 2012 European SharePoint Community Awards.

Says George Amoils, director at Soarsoft Africa, distributor of Metalogix in the Southern African region, “As cloud computing gains impetus in South and Southern Africa, so too are the requirements to migrate SharePoint to the cloud allowing businesses to leverage the benefits of this platform. This accolade reinforces the fact that we have the right technology partner on board to ease the transition with SharePoint migrations to the cloud.”

Says Tracy O’Connell, European SharePoint Conference Manager, “The European SharePoint Community Awards are about identifying leadership, recognising excellence, encouraging creativity and celebrating those who drive forward our European SharePoint Community with extraordinary passion, talent and skill. The European SharePoint Conference team is delighted to award Metalogix as the worthy winners of the Most Innovative SharePoint Cloud Solution 2012.

Congratulations to the entire Metalogix team for their achievements.”

Migration Manager for SharePoint is ideal for creating hybrid cloud scenarios by seamlessly moving content between on-premises servers and SharePoint Online or Office 365 servers. Metalogix is the only Microsoft-approved migration ISV vendor for installation on Office 365 Dedicated servers after successfully completing the Microsoft SharePoint Online Code Analysis Framework (MSOCAF) testing. The solution provides a convenient way to move SharePoint data with its intuitive user interface that allows organisations to quickly migrate all SharePoint sites, libraries, lists, web parts and permissions between environments while preserving metadata and document versions.

“We are pleased to have our Migration Manager for SharePoint solution recognised by the European SharePoint Community as the Most Innovative SharePoint Cloud Solution,” says Steven Murphy, CEO, Metalogix. “As more organisations decide to embrace the cloud, they must decide whether to pursue a dedicated cloud, a public cloud or a hybrid cloud scenario utilising on-premises and cloud simultaneously.
