Choose your individual migration path

Numerous global companies rely on migration-center for their migration projects

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.

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.
