Migrating to EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS

You have the option to migrate from the on-premise EgoSecure Data Protection solution to the cloud-based EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS solution. In order to do integrate your existing configuration into the EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS environment, first you need to export your existing database so that Matrix42 ccan import your data. Afterwards you assign the new server to the Agents via the EgoSecure Console.

Be aware that the Supervisor account in your existing EgoSecure configuration will no longer be available after migration! To ensure access to EgoSecure after migration, create the required Super Administrator accounts for your company's administrators under Administration | Super Administrator - Tools | Administrators & scopes.

As an alternative to migration, the Matrix42 AG offers a new configuration of EgoSecure Data Protection SaaS. This service can be booked via Remote Assistance Package. For further information ask your sales contact at Matrix42 AG or your Matrix42 partner.
