Public Folder Clean-up

The Challenge

Most organizations utilizing Microsoft Exchange leverage Public Folders in some capacity, and have done so for quite some time. Microsoft’s announcement of their plans to de-emphasize Public Folders in future versions of Exchange in favor of SharePoint have left many organizations in a quandary with concern to when and how they can reduce and even eliminate their dependency on Public Folders.

Unfortunately for many businesses, the problem extends far beyond just the de-emphasis of Public Folders. Over a decade of usage in most organizations, combined with the mess that mergers and acquisitions, migrations, upgrades, general employee turnover and role changes have left in their wake, Public Folder clean-up and management has become a daunting task for organizations of any size. Furthermore, the ever-increasing data and access governance requirements being mandated of organizations both internally and externally have created yet another level of complexity in managing this environment.
