Introducing the Mail Onboarding Tool


Tags :


Today IBM had a webcast Introducing the Mail Onboarding Tool (MOM) launching an updated tool for migrating users to the cloud. IBM Design helped build the new interface as shown below.  MOM is designed as a browser-server model as a Windows service on your side.

Partial migrations are allows and recovery from failures is possible.  The list is quite impressive with limited installs needed on premises. The tool currently only works with a single domain and is for moving to the cloud. It does allow you to choose what IBM data center to point to. Installation and setup seems to be as simple as downloading an installer file and a quick 4 step wizard.

Some other new features are:

  • Drag and drop or CSV group transport
  • preserve provisioning setting and apply them to group transfer
  • limit data transferred using selective transfer
  • customize pre and post user notifications
  • schedule transfers off-hours of execute immediately
The replay for the webcast should be online soon and I will update this with the link.
