2023-12-04 | BLOG POST ➤ Six major pitfalls to avoid in your content migration - Part II
As we discussed in our first episode of this blogpost series, content migrations have a reputation for being a complicated task. Let’s talk about another three very common challenges we’ve encountered over the past 20 years in a wide variety of migration projects involving different requirements, data complexities, industries, and customers.
2023-11-15 | BLOG POST ➤ Large content migration strategies: Big bang vs. phased approach
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to moving data as part of a major system consolidation project or a new re-platform deployment, but there are optimal decisions to ensure a smooth and stress-free transition. fme’s subject matter experts, harnessing tools such as our migration-center solution, will help you enable the right path based on your particular business needs.
When you’re planning a major application change involving a vast amount of data or contents, there are two main approaches you can take to manage the migration aspect – running it as a big bang or as a controlled, phased transition. And the most favorable choice will depend on your particular business circumstances.
2023-11-02 | BLOG POST ➤ Accelerating migrations to Hyland Alfresco & Nuxeo content management platforms
The increasing importance of fluid, agile, reliable, and secure collaboration is driving more and more organizations to modernize their content management capabilities. As long as important insights and documents are in legacy systems or spread across multiple file shares and use case-specific repositories, teams’ ability to exchange information and do their jobs efficiently will be compromised – especially if colleagues are working from another location.
Hyland’s acquisition of state-of-the-art content management platforms Alfresco and Nuxeo offers customers a platform as they strive to modernize their capabilities (e.g. by harnessing the cloud, as well as more intelligent search facilities) and as they look to consolidate their content and drive more value from it.

2022-08-09 | BLOG POST ➤ The migration-center WebClient – A first step for our new migration tool generation
As mentioned in one of our previous blogposts, we decided quite a while ago to replace the desktop client with a new and modern user interface – one that’s more intuitive and provides better usability.
For quite some time, we focused on developing new connectors and enhancing the functionality of the existing ones. As a result, migration-center now supports the main ECM platforms in the market. However, in the last two years we also focused on extending migration-center’s core capabilities by developing a brand-new WebUI. We finally released it officially in early July.
2022-07-07 | PRODUCT INFORMATION ➤ Release of migration-center major update 22.1

- Copy / paste transformation rules
- Search / filter in most tables and lists
- Split migset feature
- Export mapping lists and object types
- New column with total objects per scanner (all runs)
- Analytics / insights capabilities
The Object History feature is not available in this release of the WebClient. It will be enhanced and provided in the next release.
The dependency on Oracle Client was removed by providing a new Database installer that connects via JDBC and by using the new WebClient.
The versioning was changed this release from the previous incremental versioning to a calendar versioning system.

2022-04-28 | BLOG POST ➤ Content migration is an opportunity, not a like-for-like copy exericse
When organizations take the decision to migrate content to a new, modern system – whether to retire end-of-life legacy systems, or as part of a broader digital transformation journey – the temptation is to view this as a large ‘copy’ operation. The assumption is that all content from the old system will be ported across to the new environment, like for like.
This is not only to vastly over-simplify the undertaking; it also misses the opportunity to rethink the way companies and teams capture and manage content, and to thereby transform business processes.
Read more and benefit from five tips to optimize your content migration project outcomes.

2022-04-21 | PRODUCT INFORMATION ➤ Spring Framework vulnerability CVE-2022-22965: migration-center 3.17 update 4 available
Is migration-center affected by the Spring Framework vulnerability CVE-2022-22965?
A new vulnerability was discovered recently in Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux and published on the the Spring official site.
Since migration-center Jobserver is not running in a Tomcat and it’s not packaged in a traditional WAR it may not be affected by this vulnerability. Nevertheless, since this vulnerability might be exploited in different ways, our development team prepared an update package to upgrade the affected Spring dependencies to the latest version that is not affected by this vulnerability.
The list of adapters that use spring-core and spring-beans jars (directly affected by the vulnerability) are:
- Database Scanner
- Sharepoint Online Scanner
- Veeva Scanner
- Generis Cara Importer
- Sharepoint Batch Importer
- Sparta Trackwise Importer
- Veeva Importer
If one of the above adapters is used, the recommended actions are:
- Downgrade to Java 8 if possible
- Upgrade to migration-center 3.17 update 4
Updating from version 3.17 Update 3 requires replacing only the Jobserver component.
Remember to reinstall the CSOM service as well for the SharePoint Online Batch Importer as described here.
2022-02-16 | BLOG POST ➤ Essential steps to migrate your exotic DMS
Does anyone still have an old, maybe outdated system, platform, or document management system (DMS) in their IT environment? We do.
In order not to name a specific manufacturer, I call it an exotic system. Why? Because it has been running for a long time and if I ask our apprentices (young people) they won’t even know what it is unless they have to work with it.
With “exotic systems” I also just may refer to the DMS that Gartner doesn’t mention in the Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms.
So, you’re using one of those exotic DMS. And you’re thinking of replacing it but aren’t sure if it’s possible to export and keep your data? Here is an overview of what to consider. If you have any questions while reading, just contact us.
2022-02-10 | DATASHEET ➤ The machine learning improved migration process
Complex migration projects expose different challenges – one of them refers to the metadata or classification of unstructured content like Microsoft Office, PDF documents, or images. Those metadata are often incomplete, incorrect, or simply do not exist in the source systems. During the migration process, much more effort is needed to fix incomplete metadata because it must be added manually, or external data sources are required to complete the missing information.
However, enhancing the unstructured content with meaningful content is highly recommended to sustain the integrity of the application’s data. At this point, machine learning based natural language processing comes into play – a machine learning supported classification process can reduce this effort dramatically.
