The product, which is on the market since 2005, has been certified by leading ECM platform vendors and has proven its quality in hundreds of migration projects around the world, even in highly regulated environments. Together with our international partners we offer a global service presence to support you with your migration project or simply train you on our product. Save 60 % in costs and 80 % in project duration time when using migration-center compared to developing your own scripts and frameworks.

Accellerating the Digital Transformation

migration-center fast-tracks the digital transformation initiatives inside your clients‘ organization through fast and cost efficient proliferation of Enterprise Content Management (ECM), which is an important foundation, enabling truly digital processes. For the handling of semi-structured and unstructured content, there are ever more occasions when large volume content migrations become mandatory:

• Moving existing documents into new ECM applications

• Consolidating repositories across the enterprise

• Archiving and decommissioning legacy systems

The business goals of these migration projects can only be fulfilled if documents are correctly tagged and classi-fied in line with a well thought out attribute model. This demands migration software with powerful meta data mapping and transformation capabilities. At this point superior technology becomes the decisive factor.

migration-center – the leading product for content migrations

Analyze Organize Transform Validate Correct Import

Outstanding Migration Technology

A careful look at current products on the market reveals that most do no more than simply importing documents. Any metadata transformation or document reclassifica-tion is either absent or of such rudimentary nature, as to severely limit the scope of your projects or leading to additional programming at prohibitive costs.

Independent experts confirm that fme offers the most highly developed migration software available anywhere. An absolute power tool designed to handle any migration challenge with ease, which has the power to efficiently classify information objects through extensible algo-rithms with no additional programming or scripting effort needed.

migration-center guarantees highly automated, large volume document migrations without interrupting any of your normal business operations.

Benefit from the predefined migration approach

The Most Outstanding Capabilities

Managing large data volumes Input data is analyzed and organized into contextually consistent and manageable data sets. Duplicates are identified and reported. No volume restrictions, high performance document handling. Multiple and parallel set processing, allowing different analysts to work in parallel. Mass operations run in the background on scalable components.

Central migration database migration-center creates a full snapshot of all source system information (metadata, folder structure, relations, object types, access rights etc.). Transforma-tion operations can thus be defined and created, then simulated and tested in real-time without moving any objects to the target system.

Successive delta migrations Successive delta scanning of source systems permits migration activities on live data without effecting daily business operations. migration-center automatically picks up any changes to source repositories and inte-grates them into the migration process.

Predefined migration approach The typical migration process consists of certain clearly defined steps. migration-center allows the analyst to follow the same six migration phases in each project. This approach is based on best practice principles developed over hundreds of migration projects and lowers the learning curve.

Adapters for other source or target repositories may be easily developed using the migration-center API.

Metadata transformation engine Object attributes (metadata) are transformed through the use of functions. Per attribute an unlimited number of functions may be inserted. The output of one can be used as input to another, allowing highly complex transformation rules. Individual rules for every data set can thus be defined, specifying metadata extraction and transformation as required by the target system, the assignment of folder location, document links and access permissions, relations etc.

Real-time simulation and test For each individual set, the migration-center allows the dynamic simulation and testing of all transformation rules before committing content to repository import, including validation against target model, automated or manual error handling, online/offline simulation and roll-back. Full logging and auditing capability are standard.

Open connectivity architecture The migration-center grants out-of-the-box connections to OpenText Documentum, Alfresco, OpenText Content Server, OpenText Content Suite and Microsoft SharePoint. The open architecture allows the connection of virtually any source to any target system via the migration-center framework & API.
