Businesses usually start thinking about migration when facing productivity and security issues. Email is a critical business tool, but it can become a liability when the email platform is outdated and unreliable. Perhaps the organization is experiencing downtime. Or maybe its email doesn’t effectively filter out spam and viruses that can infect a network and disrupt operations.
Whatever the reason behind the migration, resellers guiding clients through the process must keep in mind there is no single way to migrate, and no one-size-fits-all formula. While the fundamentals of migration are the same regardless of the platform involved — be it Microsoft Office 365, POP/IMAP or Hosted Microsoft Exchange — there are key differences and customization requirements.

Add Toughness
Demand to increase recycled content requires high performance polymers to maintain mechanical properties of final product.
Increase Recycled Demand
Trends such as the growth of E-commerce for convenience are driving higher requirements for packaging integrity and survivability.
Growing Trends
Every step of producing and converting printed film into durable packaging is prone to complexity-induced inefficiency, scrap, and human mistakes.
Process Complexities
Multi-component resin blends in coextruded and laminated films with high layer counts are common-place.
