Profile Migrator 2.0 Masters the Migration of User Settings and Data on Clients and Servers

COLOGNE, Germany, April 5, 2011/PRNewswire/ --     sepago, inventors of the Citrix User Profile Manager, make version 2.0 of
their Profile Migrator software available as freeware for unlimited
evaluation under http://www.profilemigrator.com. The new version extends the
performance spectrum of the universal enterprise solution for the migration
of profiles by the GUI controlled migration on clients: After provisioning
the project definition, user settings and data are collected "unattended"
from source systems and are written to newly created profiles and directories
on the target system.

    This results in simultaneous a profile cleanup along with the migration.
After the migration, users can immediately continue to work with their
familiar settings on the new system. This ensures business continuity and
avoids additional effort for the user helpdesk. Profile Migrator
significantly reduces the cost of a migration.

    Windows 7 and Office 2010 out of the box

    With the release of version 2.0, sepago also makes new ACS files
available free of charge. They permit the immediate and uncomplicated
migration of user settings for various standard applications. In a single
step, Profile Migrator masters not only a migration of the operating system,
e.g., from Windows XP to Windows 7, but also updates of software versions,
such as upgrades from Office XP, 2003 or 2007 to Office 2010.

    The ACS technology developed by sepago for profile migration makes it
possible to migrate arbitrary application settings with Profile Migrator. The
required ACS files can be created with the "ACS Builder" monitoring tool if
the need arises and can be post-processed with the "ACS Editor".

    Developed for enterprise use

    The ACS technology enables Profile Migrator to be deployed flexibly, so
that even homegrown programs and windows-based special software can be
migrated. The adaptability for use in enterprise environments is underlined
by further features. For example, scripts can be executed before and after
the migration and Profile Migrator 2.0 can be integrated into desktop
management suites such as SCCM.

    Like the first version, the new version of the sepago software also
supports all current migration scenarios. This also includes the changeover
of servers with a Windows Server 2003 operating system to the latest version
2008 R2. In this context, Profile Migrator manages the folder redirection
that goes along with the introduction of 64 bit as well as a change in
language versions.

    Profile Migration as bridge to the Cloud

    With Profile Migrator, cloud service providers import selected user
settings and data of their customers from physical desktops to their own
virtual desktops. Even user profiles on clients running, e.g., on Windows XP,
can be switched to Windows Server 2008 R2 and 64 bit technology in a single
step. Profile Migrator is Citrix Ready and part of the Citrix Desktop
Transformation Model.
