Waltham, MA (PRWEB) August 5, 2010

Metalogix Software, a leading provider of solutions for Microsoft SharePoint migration, management, and archiving today released the results of a recently completed survey of Microsoft SharePoint users and administrators on their SharePoint 2010 adoption plans.

Results indicate that 90% of SharePoint users have plans to migrate to SharePoint 2010. Among those with plans to migrate, 41% will complete their migration immediately, and the remaining 59% will complete migration sometime between now and the end of 2011. Only ten percent of respondents cited no definitive plans to migrate to SharePoint 2010.

“With the release of SharePoint 2010, there has been growing interest in the major new features for social computing, PowerShell support, ribbon UI, etc. Many SharePoint professionals are eager to provide these capabilities to their users and organizations”. Rasool Rayani, Metalogix Co-Founder and Director of Metalogix Software explains, “companies who have made the decision to migrate their users to SharePoint 2010 need to be able to move their content quickly and with great flexibility. We provide companies with reliable tools and solutions to help them not only migrate SharePoint sites, libraries, lists, web parts and permissions from their old environments to SharePoint 2010, but also to then keep their environment running smoothly, and manage their content in a way that allows them to leverage the full power of their SharePoint deployment.”
