echo for SharePoint 2003 is a powerful tool for SharePoint administrators, allowing them to replicate changes and settings to multiple site collections and farms, such as between Development, Staging and Production environments.
echo helps the IT professional update, test, deploy and configure the SharePoint platform. echo for SharePoint is based on a series of wizards that replicates changes you have made via the user interface. You can point it at a source site in one location (such as a template or blueprint website) and push changes to multiple sites. You can even push these changes out to remote farms, and between environments, such as from your development system to your test and production systems. You can also batch and schedule tasks together, greatly simplifying large deployments.
echo does a great job helping you migrate content from file shares, Lotus Notes, and from other SharePoint 2003 environments. echo is also extremely useful to anyone looking for help with change management of their SharePoint portals.
