Any tool can move clean data when the network cooperates. What separates serious migration engineering from commodity SaaS is what happens on day 14, at 3am, when something breaks. This is what makes us different.
These aren't features. They're fundamental architectural decisions that determine whether your migration finishes clean or leaves you with a reconciliation nightmare.
Every message checkpointed. Every action idempotent. A migration that fails at 87% resumes at 87% — not zero. No duplicates. No re-scans. No "please start over from yesterday's snapshot." This is the single biggest architectural choice in the product, and the one most competitors get wrong.
Real enterprise data is messy. Corrupt PST headers. Malformed EV shortcuts. Attachments that violate their own MIME spec. Native tools stop at the first exception. We classify errors: skip the unsalvageable, retry the transient, escalate the genuinely new. Migrations finish.
No PST intermediate step. No staging server copying everything twice. Data moves straight from Enterprise Vault, Mimecast, or public folders into Microsoft 365 in a single orchestrated pass. That's half the project timeline and half the breach surface area.
Every action logged. Every message accounted for. Every exception explained. The reconciliation report is the evidence Legal needs to sign off and the evidence your auditor needs to close the finding. You don't have to construct it after the fact — it's been building throughout.
The options enterprise IT teams usually consider when planning a migration — and where each of them runs out of road.

Cloud2Cloud Migrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handles corrupt source messages | Stops at first error | Partial support | Logs, skips, continues |
| Resumable after failure | Restart from zero | Often creates duplicates | Checkpointed per-message |
| Direct source-to-destination | PST intermediate required | Staging server required | Single orchestrated pass |
| Enterprise Vault journal archives | Not supported | Limited / slow | Multi-threaded day-based extraction |
| Shortcut rehydration (not full archive) | All-or-nothing | Not supported | Only rehydrates live shortcuts |
| Distributed agent architecture | Single-threaded | Fixed cloud capacity | Scale by adding agents |
| Chain of custody audit trail | Summary logs only | Migration-level only | Per-message, exportable |
| Role-based delegation (RBAC) | Admin-only | Limited roles | Per-wave, per-region |
| Data sovereignty (your cloud / on-prem) | N/A | Vendor cloud only | Your infrastructure, your choice |
| Proven at petabyte scale | Breaks at 10TB+ | Typically sub-TB | 165TB delivered (FLSmidth) |
Most migration tools are monolithic — one process doing everything. Ours separates the brain (orchestration, state, audit) from the hands (agents doing the data movement). That separation is what lets you scale and survive failure.
Agents run where they're needed — in your data centre, in your cloud, or ours. The orchestrator and audit store can be hosted wherever your compliance posture requires.
Migration projects live and die by their audit trail. Every architectural choice we've made supports the compliance posture that regulated enterprises need.
Source item, destination location, timestamp, executing agent, and result recorded for every single message. Not a summary. Not a sample. Every one.
Deploy agents on your own infrastructure in-region. Data never leaves your jurisdiction unless the destination itself is cross-border.
Separate roles for platform admin, wave owner, auditor, and read-only viewer. Regional IT teams get scoped access to their own migration waves.
Export the audit trail as CSV, JSON, or PDF. Signed records that stand up to regulatory scrutiny and forensic review.
PST files migrate directly from their source location. No staging servers, no duplicated breach surface, no intermediate data lying around.
Deployed in classified US Federal Government environments and across Australian government departments at Queensland state level.
The service has been one of the best from any vendor.
