Return on Investment Achieved for Companies Using Impact Systems Software Tools to Expedite Documentum Migrations |
Impact Systems announces their EMC certified software tools –
Q-Config™ and Q-Transfer™ – have helped companies significantly reduce time,
cost and risk when migrating to EMC® Documentum® 6 platforms.
September 17, 2008, Greenville, DE,
USA – Impact Systems
Inc., (www.impactinfosys.com), a
leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software tools and
services, announced substantial return on investment that companies have
realized utilizing Impact Systems’ software tools and services to expedite
Documentum migrations.
As
companies evaluate how to best accomplish a successful Documentum migration,
Impact’s A-C-E™ methodology is helping companies assess the size, shape and
complexity, along with potential risks, in migration projects. Companies are
also seeking off-the-shelf software tools to help streamline this complex
process into a repeatable process and reduce time, cost and risk. Impact
Systems responded to this market need by developing two software tools –
Q-Config™ and Q-Transfer™. Together, the tools help companies manage and
migrate large amounts of data – configurations, content, metadata and related
content. Q-Config™ and Q-Transfer™ users,
ranging from global life sciences companies to global technology companies, have
accomplished Documentum migrations in 25% less time.
Q-Config™
This configuration
management software, accredited as Designed for EMC, transports a complete set
of configuration parameters, including templates and associated policies, from
one repository to another with built-in pre-verification and report generation.
This repeatable and verifiable process is a significant time and cost-saver in
regulated industries.
Q-Transfer™
This intelligent content and
metadata transfer and bulk load software, accredited as Designed for EMC, is a
unique, modular tool that allows customers to reduce the time and cost of
migrating and managing large amounts of content, metadata and related content
plus governing rules in a verifiable, repeatable manner.
Documented ROI Examples
Impact
Systems:
- Used both Q-Config™ and Q-Transfer™ to support a
company’s EMC Documentum migration for significant cost and time savings – combined, these tools saved four months of
manual time. The entire content migration process was completed within
forty-five days, a month and a half ahead of schedule.
- Used
Q-Config™ to
set up the customer’s development environment quicker and do what-if case
studies to minimize customization and maximize configurations. Once the
set-up was complete, the customer was able to transfer the configuration
using Q-Config™ from development to test to validation and production in 20% of the time,
completing the deployment in “miracle time”.
- Set up a new Documentum Compliance Manager (DCM)
application with all necessary configurations for a customer site. Using Q-Config™, the customer was able
to use the same basic configuration to upgrade and migrate all five of their sites in one year (vs. the two years it
took them to roll out the initial system).
- Migrated
controlled documents, and all related content, metadata, renditions,
and audit trails using Q-Transfer™, from
each source repository into its corresponding target Documentum Compliance Manager
(DCM) repository, for a customer. As the sites were similar in configuration, the ground work done on the first site was reused to
accelerate migration of the remaining sites.
- Used
Q-Transfer™’s
mapping functionality to resolve the path forward between the Documentum source
repository and the target repository, since their configurations were
different. Then, the 300,000 documents and associated metadata were loaded
into the target repository in five days.
