• Allows you to corral different mail systems and make them compatible for migration

• ROI versus time saved in manpower is top notch
• Sometimes divisions get sold a “bill of goods” solution that isn’t right for them but they don’t realize it until it’s been implemented and then at first opportunity they want to move to something else. SysTools Migration Tools is great for that
• My only complaint is that the set up has to be perfect and you cannot change the settings- sometimes that’s frustrating
