System Migration Assistant (SMA) helps get your end-users up and running by quickly and accurately migrating their individual data and settings to their new Lenovo systems, which are then familiar and ready to go. It's ideal for a large corporation moving hundreds of users' data over an enterprise network, or a small business with just a few systems in a peer-to-peer environment.
What's New!
Improved ease of use
Migration can be initiated from your new PC without having to first download and install SMA software on your old PC
Firewall detection to help reduce helpdesk calls
Tablet OS support
Migration made easy
System Migration Assistant has an easy-to-use graphical interface for end-user driven migrations. There is also Silent Mode, which allows IT personnel to automate migrations to a large number of systems and customise the migration process.
NEW! With the latest version of SMA preloaded on a new ThinkPad® or ThinkCentre® system, you can launch SMA from the new system without having to download and install it on your old system. There is no need for external media to install software on the old system - just connect with an ethernet crossover cable (not included) and go.
Other features of SMA include:
Typical mode makes it easy for you get started and Custom mode gives you greater control
Simplify system migration by copying data and settings directly from the source system to the target one
Save time and IT costs by automating simultaneous migrations to a large number of systems
Transfer mass quantities of data and settings with complete accuracy
Take charge by customising migration with the help of an easy-to-use graphical interface
Easily transfer end-user specific data and settings for applications, printers, network connections and personal preferences
Perform fast and easy migration for small workgroups using Peer to Peer transfer with a crossover cable (regular patch cable if Gigabit Ethernet is used), or individual migrations using an external USB hard drive
Avoid unnecessary extra costs — System Migration Assistant is available for Lenovo systems at no additional charge.
Expanded deployment options
When combined with other ThinkVantage® Technologies such as ImageUltra™ Builder, Software Delivery Assistant and Remote Deployment Manager, System Migration Assistant makes installing and managing the systems on your network is easier than ever before.
