BPOS to Office 365 Migrations
September has always been the date that Microsoft has identified as the point at which they will be ready to help people move from BPOS to Office 365, but it seems seem people have been doing it themselves.
In fact, so many people are so anxious to get to Office 365 that Microsoft that has posted on its Online Services Team blog some advice on how to go about it. And the principal pie of advices is to wait until Microsoft is good and ready.
While we realize that many BPOS customers are eager to move onto the new Office 365 service and start using all the new features, we strongly recommend that you wait until we are ready to transition your tenant for you,” the post says.
In particular, it warns that if you attempt a manual migration, emails sent to your domains will be returned to sender as undeliverable until your domain from BPOS can be deleted and you can re-create in Office 365. This email outage could last as long as 24 hours, possibly longer.
So, what should someone do who is eager to move from BPOS to Office 365? Ideally, you would wait to be transitioned by the Office 365 team. However, if you are an expert in Exchange server migrations, comfortable with PowerShell scripts and just can’t wait a couple of months the post tells you what you can do.
Recommind Offers Mobile Email Management

In particular, it extends its Predictiv Filing technology to mobile devices as well as deepening the integration with Microsoft Office and Exchange.
PSIGEN Links SharePoint Data and Docs
Meanwhile PSIGEN has announced the release of its new Data to Document Linking (DDL) Technology. The technology automatically creates a relationship between a single document copy, and sets of data within SharePoint Lists, providing multi-step integration between SharePoint Lists and Document Libraries.
With it, documents are captured, classified and data is extracted or entered. For multiple record documents, like invoices with line items or a check that pays multiple vendors, sets of data are assigned to documents in PSI:Capture.
All document data is routed to a SharePoint list and auto-linked to the corresponding document within the Document Library.
PSIGEN says many of its SharePoint and Office 365 partners are building custom document capture solutions based on the data contained within their scanned or imported documents. DDL allows SharePoint to be both a data and document repository for solutions.
