Just because we’re migration experts, doesn’t mean we expect you to be! Express Migration Services are designed to support all types of users and organizations, including those with limited technical skills.

Your Project Manager will guide you through providing Transend with requested Customer deliverables (admin access to source/target, User List and (if necessary) DNS registrar credentials). In most cases that’s all we need. Once we have the requested credentials, we perform all the work from there.

We will set up your target environment, prepare you for the transition, update DNS records, and migrate all legacy data. We provide comprehensive training resources (documentation, recorded video and live sessions) for both administrators and end-users.

We will ensure all considerations are addressed so there is no downtime or disruption to end-users, and your transition to the new environment is seamless and hassle-free!

Once Express Migration Services are purchased, Transend can started right away!

All Customers will receive an invitation to their dedicated Project Portal within 1-2 business days. Within that Project Portal will be all relevant information and guidance needed to get started.

Most projects can be completed within 1-3 days from the date Transend begins the migration, although the number of accounts and amount of data in scope impact the timeline.

Your dedicated Project Manager and Engineer will be ready to begin right away, and with robust scalability and rapid throughput capabilities, Transend’s optimized technology supports a quick turnaround!

Cutovers are when you officially transition to (or “Go Live”) in the new platform, and all new incoming mail is routed to the new platform. Transend will communicate all relevant considerations leading up to the cutover, and will let you schedule a cutover date that meets your needs.

If Transend performs the cutover (Transend updates DNS records):

• Sunday – Thursday (3pm – 7pm US – Central Time).
  • Migration processing will begin immediately after confirming mail flow into the target.

If Customer performs the cutover (Customer updates DNS records):

• After Transend receives confirmation from Customer the DNS cutover has been performed and email is flowing into the target, Transend will begin migration processing immediately during cutover hours (Sunday – Thursday, 3pm – 7pm US – Central Time).

Transend will request the following Customer To-Do Items, and will provide detailed guidance how to obtain each item:

• Admin credentials to the source platform
• Admin credentials to the target platform
• DNS registrar credentials (not required if Customer updates DNS records)
• User List

If admin credentials cannot be provided, end-user passwords will be required.
