SourceOne to Microsoft Exchange Online
With the end of support for Dell EMC SourceOne, moving to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Exchange is a logical step. Bluesource is equipped and ready to facilitate the transfer of your crucial data to its new home.
Maintaining SourceOne after end of life exposes organizations to technical, security, and compliance risks.
Technical: The lack of technical support from Dell following SourceOne’s end of life can lead to increased downtime, more frequent system errors, and decreased compatibility with new software. The technical risks impact overall business operations, budget, and frustrate the IT team.
Security: The lack of software updates and patches exposes cracks in the system. Legacy software like SourceOne can face cyberattacks and security breaches more easily than supported software.
Compliance: Unsupported software poses challenges for industry and federal data regulations. Outdated software increases the chances for financial or legal repercussions.
