Subject:        Email Migration - A Case Study
Presenter:      Ski Kacoroski

This talk covers the lessons learned while migrating 2500 users from 
Communigate Pro to the Zimbra for the Northshore School District (NSD). 
Email server migration consists of data and process inventory and clean 
up, selecting the new email server, initial data migration, running a 
pilot test, final data migration, and post migration tasks. This 
presentation will cover these aspects, what worked and did not work, and 
what should have been done differently to make the migration run 
smoother using examples from migrating the email server at NSD.
