LinkFixerPlus is a leading data migration tool that can automatically repair broken links when files are moved or renamed. It has helped some of the world's largest corporations to report, manage and maintain links contained in documents throughout their organization. Here is what they have to say about LinkFixerPlus:

“We purchased LinkFixerPlus to help ensure data integrity while moving data between servers for load-balancing purposes. The data on our servers is crucial for business operations, and a risk of breaking links would threaten disruption that we could not afford. Such risk would have called a halt to the project, due to financial and legal consequences.

“LinkFixerPlus handled the situation quite well. Any support issues that came up were resolved quickly. For example, in one case we had a problem with an unusual type of non-standard Acrobat PDF file. The LinkTek support team promptly resolved the issue by making an enhancement to the Acrobat plug-in to support the PDF file type in question.

“LinkFixerPlus has been a good product and very helpful in easing the mind of my internal clients. It provides risk mitigation for the data migration process.”

“LinkFixerPlus was used for a specific data migration project which has now been completed. The software allowed us to easily identify links within over 60 gigabytes of documents and data, and change them to point to a new server. The execution of the link fixing process was straightforward and saved the project team a great deal of time and money.”

“We used the LinkFixerPlus Gold software to help us complete our document migration project. We used it to replace thousands of hyperlinks and other types of links in thousands of files. During the project, LinkTek provided superb support for our project requirements. We were able to talk to live support personnel in minutes and get quick responses. And LinkTek continues to improve their product to help our needs. LinkFixerPlus was the unique software on the market that would resolve our problem.”

“I want to thank you and your techs for their help with our project. We were able to sift through over 600 GB's of data with thousands of Microsoft Office files and fix links. Due to a server change that did not support spaces in root folder names, we had to remove spaces from 7 root folders on our Network Appliance filer. We were able to do this with little or no impact to our end users by changing links with the folder name in it to a UNC path. This allowed us to fix the links and then make the change to the folder name. I have spread the word in the Deere community that your product works great.”

“LinkFixerPlus is a great piece of software. It is a utility that takes a basic idea and incorporates it into a powerful tool. You would think that what LinkFixerPlus does would have already been a part of an Office Suite or operating system. However, that isn't the case, so LinkFixerPlus has answered the needs of many by simplifying the management of document links across a wide variety of different software applications. Good job!”

“One of our projects involved moving 30,000 finance department files, totaling 35 GB, to another server and restructuring the department's folders to a proper hierarchy. We encountered thousands of broken links that would have taken months for us to manually repair. LinkFixerPlus helped us save a tremendous amount of money and time by not having to manually fix broken links in the moved files. If we had not found LinkFixerPlus, we would have had to hire a team of people to manually re-link the files, and that would have cost our company a fortune.”

“We were migrating from a Novell environment to Windows Active Directory and therefore had to move data from a lettered drive, which had tons of financial spreadsheets containing links to other lettered drives, to a non-lettered drive format. Therefore we looked for any software that could automate this process and save us time. We estimated that we had some 100,000 links (at a minimum) and that LinkFixerPlus would save us some 2,500 hours of manually updating these links in Excel.

“We also have an internal website that is job-dependent for our customer service department, and needed to have any data moves and updating of links done immediately after the data move is completed. The time savings for updating these links [using LinkFixerPlus] is tremendous, as there are hundreds of links on these web pages.”

“We are utilizing LinkFixerPlus to enhance our online archiving. We have a dedicated NAS server that holds all of our past projects in their original digital format. The problem has always been that once a project has been archived and moved to another server, the AutoCAD and InDesign files lose their links to all of the reference files stored in the moved folders. This has made the ease of using online archives not as valuable.

“The tendency has been to make the IT group move the projects back to the live project server to do any mass work or review, thus defeating the purpose of archiving. LinkFixerPlus is allowing us to quickly repair the previously moved jobs and giving us the flexibility to move archival material much easier. This especially pays off when we migrate the jobs that are on hold to our archive server and have to make them active again at a later time.”

“We are an ISO 9000:2001 certified company and part of that requires a huge master document list, which has accumulated over 1000 lines, all linked to a variety of corresponding documents. It is very important to have these links working at all times. Previously it would take me hours to check each link in the documents, at least once a week. Now with LinkFixerPlus, it takes me only minutes to run the report to check for [and fix] any broken links! I am so glad that I have this program, I would not be without it!”

“Thank you for helping me salvage several years worth of work! Without going into great detail, changes over time left me with files containing links that didn't exist anymore. In addition, I had files with broken links due to company name changes. All in all, this created many broken links and, what I thought was, an impossible job of fixing them all. This morning I purchased LinkFixerPlus. By noon, the links were working! I now feel like broken links are a thing of the past. Thanks again for your great product and for the awesome support you provide.”

“We had upgraded a customer's file server and there were many undocumented links across many folders. If LinkFixerPlus had only documented the links we would have been happy, but we completed the rebuilding of the links for our customer, and I thought you might be interested in the number of links fixed - 12,000! (Yes there are three zeroes after the 12!) I will recommend [LinkFixerPlus] to any other customers that use linked spreadsheets.”

“We had a project to clean-up the file structure on our group drive. As part of this project we identified thousands of Word and Excel documents which had embedded links. In order to make the change as painless as possible, we used the LinkFixerPlus tool to automatically switch those links for us. I would say that it worked for 99% of our links which saved us a lot of time overall.”

“We are an Architectural/Engineering firm with 5 offices located throughout the country. As we work on projects it is common to move a project's data between offices at different phases to take advantage of the talent in each office. LinkFixerPlus simplifies the project migration by letting us quickly remap xrefs in AutoCAD files associated with the project.”

“We were migrating a Netware File Server over to a Windows File Server. We were required to update all Excel links within all documents to reflect the new server name. We were moving groups of files from one server to another. The tool was a good choice and worked perfectly every time.”

“Broken links can cause high blood pressure. Okay, maybe not....maybe it's just me. But the number one problem we needed a solution for was how to prevent broken links when updating disclosure packages. Each updated package is renamed to reflect the most recent version, with the previous information being brought forward to the next package. Under the new document name, all previous links became broken.

“LinkFixerPlus proved to be THE solution. We can now carry our information forward without losing any links, then continue linking the new information all within a timely, cost-efficient manner (LinkFixerPlus performs this task in minutes compared to the two to three days it takes to manually re-establish all the previous links). I highly recommend LinkFixerPlus as the number one solution for addressing the problem of broken links.”
