Novell GroupWise Migration

The CloudMigrator is the world’s leading multi-platform migration tool and can be used to migrate data from GroupWise to Google Apps and Google Postini Services. It is written and supported in-house and was the first commercial tool to migrate GroupWise, Scalix and Exchange systems to Google Apps.

We have many years of experience with Novell GroupWise and built support for GroupWise from the ground up into the CloudMigrator based on this experience. Hundreds of organizations have taken advantage of the CloudMigrator to move their GroupWise systems into the cloud and partners worldwide take advantage of the wide range of features. Why not compare our tool with the leading competitor? The tables below details the supported features.

All versions of GroupWise from 6.5.6 and higher are supported. The GroupWise client and the Novell client must be installed with the migration tool.
