Google refreshes Exchange migration tools

Google has launched enhanced migration tools for companies looking to migrate over from Microsoft Exchange and Outlook.

The first is Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange, which comes with some performance improvements and supports a number of additional email clients, including Novell GroupWise, Cyrus, Dovecot and Courier.

Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook now adds support for the 2010 version of the Redmond firm’s software and for 64-bit editions of the client.

New versions of the search giant’s Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook and Calendar Connectors for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes have also been launched.

“This year alone, customers have migrated over 3.5 billion emails to Google Apps, along with over 100 million calendar events and 25 million contacts,” said Aditya Kulkarni, Google product manager, in a blog.

“But we’re still working to make it even easier.”
