Which Version is Right For Your Organization?

PCmover is designed for any business, small or large.

 

PCmover Enterprise includes additional features designed specifically for organizations that require the ability to configure migrations to be in compliance with IT policy using the Policy Manager module. The Policy Manager can generate and enforce automated role or department-specific migration requirement policies. Also, PCmover Enterprise can run from a network drive or removable storage device, so there is no need to install on any of the PCs involved in the migration.

 

PCmover Business offers migration solutions without adhering to IT policy mandates, allowing for custom configuration and autonomy from the Policy Manager Module. Consumers can freely operate their selection of programs migrating at their leisure and convenience.

 

PCmover Professional leverages the same great migration technology found in PCmover Enterprise, however does not include the Policy Manager module and cannot be run over a network or from a removable storage device.
