Impact Systems announces the release of a new white paper, “Successful
ECM Migration: A Case for Migration Analysis and Structured Methodology”,
developed to help organizations plan for complex content migration projects.
March
13, 2008, Montchanin, DE, USA – Impact Systems Inc.,
(www.impactinfosys.com),
a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software tools, deployments
and content
migrations, today announces the
release of a new white paper which makes the case for enterprise content
migration analysis and structured methodology as organizations look to
implement migrations.
More and more,
organizations are faced with the need to migrate large amounts of data into a
new enterprise content management environment. As these projects increase in
complexity and enterprise content management systems increase in sophistication,
the need for content migration planning and expertise is growing.
There are several business factors
that drive the need for companies to migrate to a new enterprise content
management system, including:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- The need to centralize
content and consolidate data
- To achieve commonality in
ECM platforms
- To achieve commonality in
business procedures
- Systems reaching maximum
capacity
- To reduce maintenance costs
and technical system management
- Other regulatory, financial and organizational
challenges
The importance
for companies to fully understand the challenges involved in moving from where they are
to where they want to be continues to escalate. Today’s content migration
projects are much more than copying a set of files from one place to another. Typical
activities include the creation or replacement of metadata, verification and
cleanup of existing metadata, management of document versions and relationships,
audit histories, and e-signature data, mapping of content from one
cabinet/folder/filing structure to a new structure, and the creation and
implementation of business logic rules for handling data exceptions and
transformations.
Impact Systems developed the A-C-E™
Methodology for content migration to help companies fully understand their
migration challenges, their desired outcomes, and how to best accomplish a
successful migration. To learn more, a complimentary copy of the white paper
