A proven process for your complex project
Extract & analyze
All objects to be migrated are exported from their corresponding source system and can be analyzed in terms of type, format, metadata, and other properties.
Organize
The objects are now organized into manageable sets. Such a set is usually created from objects that have something in common and are to be processed in the same or a similar way.
Transform & map
Transformation rules are assigned to each migration set, which are used to generate the properties for the target system. The transformation is executed within migration-center.
Validate
The transformed metadata of the documents is tested and validated against the target system but without importing the objects.
Correct
Potential errors are detected during the transformation and validation steps and can be corrected in unlimited iterations of step 3 and 4.
Import
The transformed and validated objects are gradually imported into the target system.

Best practice features all bundled in one tool
Achieve high migration performance with unlimited scalability
Input data is analyzed and organized into contextually consistent and manageable data sets. Duplicates are identified and reported. Multiple and parallel set processing allows different analysts to work in parallel. Mass operations run in the background on scalable components.
Eliminate business downtime using our delta migration concept
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 integrates them into the migration process.
Reduce costs with immediate out-of-the-box applicability
As proven in many projects, migration-center is able to save up to 60 % in costs and 80 % in project duration time compared to developing custom scripts or using open source frameworks. Using it out-of-the-box therefore helps customers worldwide to keep their projects in time and budget.
Leverage diverse system support through an open architecture
migration-center grants more than 250 out-of-the-box connectors to many popular applications like OpenText Content Suite, Microsoft SharePoint, file shares, and many more.

Unlimited application areas
migration-center supports a wide variety of applications and migration scenarios. Whether you would like to migrate to the cloud, consolidate your ECM landscape, or simply archive records to an enterprise archive, migration-center is the best fit for many different migration plans.
Predefined migration approach
The typical migration process consists of specified 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 thousands of migration projects and lowers the learning curve substantially.
Tailored for regulated environments
migration-center is used by 90 % of the Top 10 and 60 % of the Top 30 pharmaceutical companies worldwide and fulfills their challenging demands. With features like data validation, content integrity checks, robust logging, and many other aspects it has established itself as a defacto standard in regulated industries.
Metadata transformation & reclassification
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 the 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.
Real-time simulation & test
For each individual migration set, migration-center allows the dynamic simulation and testing of all transformation rules before committing content to the repository import, including validation against the target model, automated or manual error handling, on-/offline simulation, and rollback.
Professional product support
In case of challenges with the product or the project execution, a dedicated support is one key element of a successful migration project. The migration-center support team reaches a 100 % customer satisfaction rating with well-educated support agents answering product questions, helping users with tips and tricks, or scheduling remote sessions to solve complex challenges.
AI-based classification
The Auto Classification Module of migration-center allows users to predict unknown attribute values. The algorithm detects patterns based on the unstructured content of a document and refers them to possible attribute values. These values can then be used as new attribute values for the ECM system.
Inplace migration
The migration-center inplace migration feature is less of a migration and more of a great update functionality. It enables customers to scan documents and their metadata from a repository, do transformations on those documents as usual, and then update the documents in the same repository.
