Manual migration, performed by either end-users or IT staff, may appear more cost effective on the surface. However, data loss, the inability to reply to migrated messages, and the non-value-added time spent performing the migration by both IT staff and end-users, make manual migration unproductive and costly. There is no comparison to the fully automated capability of MailMover 3.0 products.
