About MessageStats Report Pack for Notes 7.8.1

MessageStats is a Windows-based data collection and reporting application that facilitates the analysis of messaging statistics for a number of messaging environments. With the extensive information that MessageStats gathers, MessageStats provides an extremely flexible web-based reporting engine that allows all interested individuals to view messaging information and to package the information in many different ways. All reports are available by accessing the web site directly, by signing up for automated subscriptions that can be sent to any email address, or through export to a number of supported formats.

The MessageStats Report Pack for Notes extends MessageStats by adding the ability to gather configuration and content information for the Notes environment. The report pack stores the information in the MessageStats database, to which additional tables are added when you install the report pack. The database provides content for the web-based MessageStats Reports. You can use the report pack as an assessment tool in planning for a Notes to Exchange migration.

MessageStats Report Pack for Notes 7.8.1 is a minor release, with enhanced features and functionality. See Known issues.
