2022

migration-center receives four updates a year, one each quarter. End of December our development team published the latest release 22.2 which added quite some interesting enhancements to our product. Up next, you can find a selection of some of the most desired changes. For a complete overview, please take a look at the release notes linked below.

  • The Desktop Client has been retired. The new WebClient introduced in version 22.1 is now the only UI available. In general, the WebClient received various changes and improvements of the UI.
  • The OnBase importer allows the user to set the document date
  • The SharePoint Online importer (batch) allows to add a source type to the imported documents
  • The Veeva importer allows importing major and minor versions of binders

The implementation of a very large data migration project raises many challenges. One of them being how to handle user downtime when making the switch between the old and the new system. The solution that migration-center offers is its so-called “delta migration” capability. This allows the migration to be split into two distinct phases: Initial migration and delta migration.

Energize your content migration with our major new product version! With migration-center 22.1 we introduced a long-awaited new client: the WebClient. Offering many enhanced and new features like MultiColumn mapping lists, copy/paste transformation rules, and analytics/insights capabilities, the release means a significant improvement for users.

Take a look at our webinar recording to benefit from insights into our latest product update of migration-center. Besides the deployment of the new migration-center WebClient, our migration experts demonstrate its new features and benefits and provide a preview of future development plans.

Working processes in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries are controlled by strict quality and security regulations. The comprehensive regulatory requirements also apply when migrating data during the implementation of new IT applications or the consolidation of different systems after mergers and acquisitions. The question is: how can life sciences companies meet compliance guidelines and manage the quality of their data in the context of content migrations?

For our latest Migration Matters interview we talked to the Vice President of Migration Services at fme US, Wesley White, who has in-depth expertise in data migration projects in life sciences for the past 20+ years.

Braunschweig, Germany – August 31, 2022: fme AG confirms the launch of their revised product version for fast and effective use of OpenText Docu-mentum DQL and API commands.

Back in December 2021, fme announced the enhancement and commercialization of their comprehensive OpenText Documentum administration tool. As from now, the awaited new product version is available. dqMan’s deprecated free and Xtended versions are thus being replaced with the unified new product version. “Having completed a successful development and preparation period, we are excited to provide our customers with a powerful, customizable product for an even more efficient admin-istration of their OpenText Documentum applications,“ summarizes Florian Piaszyk-Hensen, Director of fme Products.

As an enterprise-grade software, dqMan secures full native support for x64-based environments including Java, Documentum/DFC up to the current version, and latest server operation systems. Designed for an improved user experience, the product offers a variety of revised and newly added features, among them an intuitive UI, Unicode support, and a new editor control. All functionalities can be found on the new product landingpage at a glance.

For the first time, users of the revised dqMan benefit from a dedicated support and maintenance service. Whether by browsing the online documentation towards the usage of dqMan, reviewing existing helpdesk tickets, or creating a custom support ticket, a reliable, professional product use and a fast resolution of issues are given high priority.

The purchase of fme’s enhanced OpenText Documentum administration tool is possible via various license packages tailored to the needs of different sized teams. License levels are designed for small teams with up to five users, medium teams with up to 10 users, large teams with up to 20 users, and enterprises with more than 20 users.

“Encouraged by the high quantity of received early bird discount requests, we look forward to future enhancements of dqMan in order to further simplify our user’s daily work routine. In the near future, dqMan will support additional platform and script languages like Veeva VQL and Microsoft PowerShell,” Florian Piaszyk-Hensen looks ahead.

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.

The disruption to workplaces and to teamwork during the peak of the pandemic spurred many organizations to propel their IT transformation projects higher up the business agenda.

As a result, we have seen initiatives to adopt more modern, cloud-based applications, content management repositories and collaboration platforms increase sharply over the last two years.

Microsoft SharePoint Online, accessed securely via the cloud, has been the subject of a particular surge of popularity, offering dispersed teams a means of sharing and collaborating on data and documents very fluidly from any location.

This release brings the new migration-center WebClient component to replace the existing Desktop Client. It comes with all the existing features as well as a few new ones:

  • MultiColumn mapping lists
  • Better handling of the migset configurations
  • 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.

As we are constantly working to improve our social media presence for migration-center, we have decided to create a dedicated migration-center product page and a so-called showcase page on LinkedIn.

How can you benefit from these two new pages?

  • Follow our showcase page to catch the latest news about migration-center directly in your newsfeed
  • Visit our product page and assign your own LinkedIn profile the new migration-center skill to show that you are proficient with our migration software

Important note: The current migration-center LinkedIn group will be disbanded after a transitional period

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.

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:

  1. Downgrade to Java 8 if possible
  2. 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.

Without top-grade data, even the most innovative life sciences company in the world will struggle to realize its potential. That’s because, without robust, reliable and well-maintained information, formatted in a consistent and agreed way that’s acceptable to regulators, they will fail to complete clinical trials or gain market authorization.

Improved dynamism is now a strategic priority in life sciences. The Covid-19 response has seen a radical transformation of the drug development and approval process – reducing cycles that once spanned 10 years to a matter of months. Going forward, pressure on major authorities such as the FDA will only increase as all stakeholders look to maintain the current pace of innovation.

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.

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.

Generis CARA is an enterprise cloud workspace specifically designed for regulated areas like the life sciences or financial services industry. The intelligent content services platform offers seamless enterprise  connections to streamline processes, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and is being used by more than 500,000 experts worldwide.

Sparta TrackWise Digital is a cloud-based digital complaints and quality management system. The industry-leading solution offers integrated modules that in combination support compliance, quality, and  increase the effectiveness and efficiency of decision making. Through advanced analytics and reporting across all quality processes, users can leverage the data quality to improve the company-wide  performance.

A leading global healthcare company was having difficulty in tracking their regulatory submissions which are managed across different systems. Also, there was a need to harmonize their regulatory processes across their different business units. Aiming at a standardized management of end-to-end submissions for both their pharamaceutical and vaccines business, they decided to migrate from ten different content and data management systems to Veeva Vault RIM.

Various information security news outlets reported on the discovery of the critical vulnerability CVE-2021-44228 within the Apache log4j library. This vulnerability also named as log4shell or logjam is a remote code execution (RCE) class vulnerability. If exploited it may grant attackers the ability to execute arbitrary code and potentially take full control of the system (Source: CVE & Apache).

We would like to inform you proactively that your migration-center installation is not affected by this critical vulnerability if you run migration-center 3.14 and higher. From this version onwards log4j is not being used by migration-center anymore.

Starting with version 3.14 migration-center uses logback instead of log4j for logging. Nevertheless, when searching for “log4j” within the migration-center installation you may find three log4j jar files:

  • …libmc-veeva-importerlog4j-to-slf4j-2.11.2.jar
  • …libmc-veeva-importerlog4j-api-2.11.2.jar
  • …libmc-database-adaptorlog4j-1.2.12.jar

These files are installed as part of some third-party libraries for our Veeva target and our database source connector but are not being used by the product itself. Should you still have any concerns regarding these files, you can simply remove them from the directories without effecting the migration-center Jobserver functionality.

migration-center 3.13 and older versions use log4j 1.2.17. It is not yet clear if this version is affected by the current vulnerability. In any case it is highly recommended to upgrade migration-center to 3.14 or a later version!

Braunschweig, Germany – December 10, 2021: The Braunschweig based IT service provider fme AG is supporting Debeka with the introduction of OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online in the context of file storage.

On the way to a modern workplace, the introductions of OneDrive for Business as well as SharePoint Online in which fme AG has supported Debeka from the beginning are about to start. First of all, a vision and the strategy for introducing the necessary services were developed. Subsequently, the project team started to create the technical and regulatory basis and began to develop a migration concept for all filing systems.

Debeka uses migration-center from fme AG to analyze the current files and thus to prepare for the subsequent migrations. In addition to manual migration work, automated and audit-proof migrations are to be carried out with the help of migration-center. The product provides more than 220 migration paths, including SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. In addition, the migration can be scheduled so that system downtimes are avoided.

fme AG also supports the insurance company in issues relating to IT security and data protection. With the help of a “BigPicture” on the future file storage in Microsoft 365, all relevant stakeholders were met at an early stage.

“As a specialist in enterprise content management (ECM) and the audit-proof migration of large amounts of data, we rely on 25 years of experience and are thus one of the leading manufacturers in this application area,” explains Frank Mittelstaedt, one of the two founders of fme. “We have even developed our own software product for this use case. The partnership with Microsoft has also existed for almost 25 years. Among other things, we are a Microsoft Gold Partner for the competence field ‘Collaboration and Content’,” Mittelstaedt continues.

Founded in 1905, Debeka is one of the oldest and largest companies in the insurance industry. The Debeka Group offers a wide range of insurance and financial services and focuses not only on its members and customers, but also on its employees. For an innovative employer, this was reason enough to create a modern workplace based on Microsoft 365 for all of its 16,000 employees.

Braunschweig, Germany – December 7, 2021: With the new dqMan, users can expect the release of a revised version providing compatibility to current OpenText Documentum applications and feature enhancements like a new user interface offering an improved user experience.

dqMan has been on the market for 18 years as a free administration tool for OpenText Documentum customers to administrate, maintain, and program the Documentum Content Server. When OpenText introduced the 20.X Cloud Edition, dqMan did not provide a stable compatibility with the OpenText Documentum platform. In order to further support current OpenText Documentum versions and provide an enterprise-grade software product, fme AG has decided to enhance and commercialize the product.

“By developing the new dqMan version, we are able to offer our users a connection to the current OpenText Documentum environment”, explains Florian-Piaszyk-Hensen, Director of fme Products. “Packed with useful functionalities to further simplify administration processes within OpenText Documentum, the new dqMan is created as a professional product for Open Text Documentum experts and will fulfill all aspects of an enterprise software in terms of reliability, compatibility, and quality,” he continues.

Along with the enhanced dqMan, fme will introduce a dedicated support and maintenance service which has been frequently requested by customers over the last years. This additional service allows enterprises to use dqMan in a more reliable, riskless, and professional manner and ensures the compatibility with the latest OpenText Documentum releases.

In addition, the revised dqMan will come with a new, modern user interface. Designed to be more intuitive for its users, it will include a flexible search and navigation option through the repository and improve the user experience. The support for Unicode languages will also be part of the new product version. Furthermore, dqMan will support additional platform and script languages like Veeva VQL and Microsoft PowerShell in the near future.

Tillmann Rehm, Principal Consultant at fme AG and responsible for the development of dqMan, summarizes the benefits of the upcoming version as follows: “The main benefit on the technical side will be the full native support for x64-based environments including Java, Documentum/DFC up to the latest version (currently 21.4), and latest server operation systems. Also, extended character sets will be available. Of course, dqMan will get a modern UI, enhanced usability, and bug fixing. For the first time, fme will also offer support and maintenance to all registered users.”

The release of the new dqMan commercial version is planned for the second quarter of 2022 and will replace the current free version. Further product information will soon be available on a dedicated landing page containing purchase options and a support channel.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a topic that gained a lot of popularity in the computer science field in the last years. Before using AI, the experts had to find the best rules to make the program run in a way that fulfilled the user requirements. Now, people discovered the power of this technology and learned how to configure it to generate the necessary rules. The repetitive steps are automated and a model is generated based on the real data. The beauty of this technology is that even people that are not experts in the domain can use the computer to model their data.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that aims to analyze and understand human language. The computer is capable of processing a large number of documents, extract relevant information, and organize the documents themselves.

The content migration process can be simplified by using artificial intelligence capabilities. Sometimes the target ECM application requires attributes that are not present in the source platform and manual processing of the documents is necessary to identify these attributes. To help the users solve this issue, we implemented a new Enrich Scanner into migration-center which uses Amazon Comprehend capabilities.

migration-center just joined the Association for Intelligent Information Management (AIIM) – the world’s leading organization dedicated to the information management industry. AIIM provides its global community with independent research, numerous training courses, and a resource library covering – among others – topics such as Intelligent Information Management and Enterprise Content Management.

As a new Leadership Council member, we are excited to connect with AIIM’s dynamic community of information professionals and to share knowledge.

If you would like to learn more about AIIM’s offerings or explore migration-center’s latest listing as a solution provider in the AIIM Buyers’ Guide, just go ahead by clicking “Read more”.

A leading global biotech company acquired many document management systems through acquisitions and siloed development.  Some were integrated into other systems; many were proprietary, and some were homegrown.  Support was difficult, expensive and a challenge to manage.  Some systems were at risk due to obsolete technology and infrastructure.  Most importantly, there was no authoritative global source of controlled documents and no global processes to manage Quality and Manufacturing (Q&M) or Research and Development (R&D) documents.

After a comprehensive modernization, we are happy to announce the upcoming release of our brand-new web client for migration-center. Coming along with an advanced user interface, the new WebUI means a substantial improvement for both existing and new users. Usability best practices enable users to enhance work productivity and reduce necessary training time when migrating data.

Take a look at our webinar recording to benefit from a deep dive into our new WebUI. Our migration specialists introduce you to our latest features like the new main menu, the filter and pagination option for the scanners list, migration set transformation rules, and many more.

Complex migration projects can be very painful and expose many challenges. One of such challenges refers to incomplete, incorrect, or simply not existing metadata in the source system. To fix incomplete metadata or enrich your data quality during the migration process, we launched a new migration-center integration and service element recently.

With the help of our Amazon Comprehend natural-language processing (NLP) integration and our new services package, we are able to deliver an end-to-end solution to classify your documents and enrich your metadata according to your individual needs. The service can identify critical elements in your documents, including references to language, people, places, or other relevant topics. In addition, Amazon Comprehend can be customized to identify metadata that are specific to your domain (e.g. documents types, products, projects etc.). With the integration of Amazon Comprehend Medical we are also able to identify medical information, such as medication and medical conditions, from a variety of sources (including doctor’s notes) and determine their relationship to each other.

Whenever you plan to migrate your content, our new end-to-end solution is a very effective option to increase the quality of the migration outcome or simply ensure that important documents are classified accurately and have the necessary metadata to support the need to quickly and effectively identify documents associated with key business processes.

In the age of digitalization the technical possibilities for collecting, storing, analyzing, and sharing information have taken on new dimensions. However, the trend of digitalization comes with high growth of data volume and produces an increasing amount of inactive or obsolete data. Therefore, separating active from inactive data becomes a necessary step within content management strategies. The necessity of a solid data archiving solution remains ubiquitous.

For this we talked to Antje Dwehus, Principal Consultant and archiving expert at fme group since 2006.

migration-center receives four updates a year, one each quarter. Beginning of July our development team published the latest release 3.17 which added quite some interesting enhancements to our product. Up next, you can find a selection of some of the most desired changes. For a complete overview, we have also published the complete release notes online.

  • The planned dedicated connector for Hyland OnBase has been released. It supports the import of documents and their revisions as well as delta migration for metadata.
  • migration-center 3.17 now contains an Amazon Comprehend Enrich adapter to enrich documents’ metadata based on the content, to detect languages, to extract entities, and to support custom classifiers.
  • The Documentum scanner now allows more flexible queries for selecting documents to be scanned.
  • The Cara importer now allows the import of audit trails from OpenText Documentum as audit trail objects.

Content migrations between ECM systems, file shares, databases, and other legacy applications usually take on very complex dimensions in a business context. Today we want to find out what challenges but also opportunities content migrations offer to organizations.

For this we talked to Florian Piaszyk-Hensen. Florian has over 16 years of experience in the content migration environment and has been in charge of the product department in which migration-center is developed and distributed since 2005.

Microsoft SharePoint is a cloud-based service for intranet, team sites, and content management used by more than 200,000 organizations. Available as an on- or off-premise solution, the collaborative platform helps customers to organize and share news, files, data, and applications.
Master your next SharePoint or Office 365 migration challenge and take a closer look at our new datasheet.

Hyland OnBase is a popular ECM platform many organizations would like to implement into their system landscape. Without the proper approach a content migration can become complex and time-consuming. Especially during such challenges, migration-center can be deployed to reduce risks, project duration time, and costs.

Take a look at our webinar recording to benefit not only from our best practice methodologies but also from a live migration demo to Hyland OnBase using migration-center. Additionally, our migration specialists show you our latest connector.

Are you currently planning a migration from complex ECM platforms to Microsoft SharePoint or OneDrive? Instead of choosing classical ETL tools or customized scripts and frameworks which often proof error-prone, time-consuming, and costly, migration-center can point out a more efficient solution for mastering your content migration process.

If SharePoint or OneDrive is your desired ECM system you may want to view this webinar recording. Our experienced migration consultants introduce you to migration-center, the leading software for complex migration projects, proven in more than 1.500 projects worldwide!

It´s time for OpenText World Asia Pacific 2021! Make the most of the virtual tech event we are sponsoring this year and learn how to lower costs and minimize risks of your content migration and decommissioning projects in our breakout session. We are looking forward to seeing you online May 20-21,2021. The sessions will be available on demand till June 21, 2021.

One of the leading international manufacturers of commercial vehicles used an internal application to manage and track the lifecycle of their hardware assets, such as cell phones, printers, and Desktop PCs. The application documented the entire lifecycle from acquisition, operation and maintenance, refurbishing, and redistribution to dismantling.

As part of their innovation and move to the cloud strategy the client introduced a new asset management system, but still needed to refer to the original application to access older data that was not part of the migration to the new system. However, this very specific and not frequent use case was in no reasonable relation to the ongoing maintenance costs for the old system and led to the adverse situation of having to pay for two systems instead of reducing costs.

Most document management systems (DMS) include so-called audit trails, a mechanism for keeping track of changes made to an object or a document by the respective author. These changes could be entries such as create, modify, check-in/out, and save. Within a migration it might be a requirement to “copy” the audit trail entries as well. Let’s see how easy it is to manage this challenge with migration-center!

OpenText World Europe is around the corner and we are proud to be a sponsor this year. Join us with OpenText online April 14-15 for our breakout session. Learn how to lower costs and minimize risks of your content migration and decommissioning projects.

One of our current Life Sciences customers conducted a content migration from a legacy system to OpenText Documentum for Life Sciences R&D. Take a look at our latest case study to see how he tackled this challenge with migration-center.

migration-center receives four updates a year, one each quarter. End of March our development team published the latest release 3.16 which added quite some interesting enhancements to our product. Up next, you can find a selection of some of the most desired changes. For a complete overview, we have also published the complete release notes online.

  • All connectors now support Java 11.
  • Generis CARA is now supported as a target platform connector.
  • OpenText Documentum D2 is now supported for inplace migrations.
    Inplace migrations enable the user to transform the documents of a repository in order to update various attributes and rules (e.g. auto-naming etc.).
  • The latest versions (20.4) of the OpenText products are now supported and include Content Suite, Documentum, and InfoArchive.
  • A dedicated connector for Hyland OnBase is being planned for one of the upcoming releases.

Do you operate a rather rare ECM system and would like to switch to Microsoft SharePoint Online? Many migration tools often only support popular ECM platforms and are therefore not suitable for migrating from lesser-known systems. Here, the migration-center database connector provides a solution and enables such migration projects to be tackled successfully.

If you feel the same way, take a look at our free webinar. We show you how you can use an out-of-the-box solution to avoid the cumbersome way of custom programming or scripting and save both, costs and time!

When I joined the products team at fme AG back in 2011, we had just released version 3.2 of our migration-center and we were already thinking about a new major release (“4.0”) with a modernized architecture and a new client application.

10 years and three attempts later, we are finally close to release the new web client for migration-center. Why did this take so long? Well, we are a rather small team of eight software developers, QA and support agents and we had to learn the hard way that maintaining and continuing development of such a complex software AND rebuilding large parts of the software with a new architecture from scratch is not possible. Thus, we decided to modernize migration-center step by step and focus on a new web client first. This new webUI is a real milestone for us and our customers, since it will allow us to provide a state-of-the-art user interface and to add many new features to migration-center in the future.

Test data management is the process of managing the data that is required to fulfill the test requirements with as little human intervention as possible and is a common process among many organizations. For this process accessible, up-to-date, and high quality test data has to be created regularly in order to meet the requirements of a proper testing process.

Take a look at our latest webinar today to see how migration-center can support you in setting up a fully automated test data management including time-based schedules, specifying the scope of documents, manipulation of metadata, and a delta/update mechanism!

With more than 20 years of experience within the life sciences industry, fme Life Sciences offers a wide portfolio in both services and product solutions for complex content migration scenarios in regulated environments.

Additionally, we will present on our services elements like the support of Veeva Vault, Generis CARA, and Sparta TrackWise Digital.

Minimalism is a trend nowadays and organizing consultants like Marie Kondo and their decluttering methods have thousands of followers that are eager to learn how to discard of unnecessary items. Who hasn’t thought about living in a Tiny House which seems so much more manageable than the daily chaos in many average households?

The fact is, in today’s world of information overload and complexity, many people wish for more simplicity – in their private lives, but also in the office. This desire for simplicity makes perfect sense.

The satisfying feeling of relief we have when the garage is finally cleared out and our old furniture has been disposed of at the local dump and we can also achieve this in our working lives, if we allow ourselves to let go of old and obsolete stuff.

Braunschweig, Germany – August 3, 2020: With fme and Tectonics both being IT service providers it was a given to form a partnership focusing on content migration projects in the area of New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. With Techtonics supplying on site services and fme its proven migration software migration-center, both companies as well as the customers benefit from this joint cooperation.

With a headquarter located in Germany, serving customers on the other side of the globe always comes with some very special challenges, the time difference obviously being one of the most common. In order to meet the increasing number of project inquiries from New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, Techtonics and fme are entering into a strategic partnership that will offer all parties – especially the customers – advantages in the implementation of complex migration projects. “Even in such progressive times, we can only cope with time differences and distances to a limited extent, and there is no denying that a competent contact person on site offers a distinct beneficial value for our customers, that we cannot offer directly, at least not 18.000 km away”, comments Florian Piaszyk-Hensen, Director of fme Products.

Graham Wilson, Techtonics Professional Services Manager agrees and completes the statement by adding: “Migrations can be complex and delivering a high-quality output requires us to be meticulous in each and every phase of any migration project.  Being on-site alongside the client for that journey allows us to be in the strongest possible position to understand their needs, identify any challenges and ensure that all parties expectations are clearly identified and subsequently met.”

migration-center is well established on the ECM market and supports many use cases when it comes to migration projects, for example consolidation, archiving or upgrade projects. Despite migration-center being applicable out-of-the-box, many use cases remain rather complex and therefore often require a very specialized project team. “Techtonics supplies those skills and we are sure to have found a reliable and competent service partner”, Florian concludes.

Braunschweig, Germany – July 10, 2020: fme, an IT service provider and digital transformation specialist based in Braunschweig, and Delta United, an IT service provider located in Saudi Arabia, enter into a strategic partnership. The aim of the partnership is to serve the content migration challenges in the Middle East with both their content migration services and products even better.

With Delta United as a complementary service partner of fme‘s migration-center, the team around Florian Piaszyk-Hensen, Director of fme Products, wants to provide companies in the Middle East with a professional on site contact who can competently manage the complex migration projects regularly approaching. “For our customers it is often important to have an easily accessible project consultant with expertise on site. This makes it relatively easy to avoid many challenges such as the local language, time differences and shortens the process tremendously,” says Florian Piaszyk-Hensen.

Ahmed Oqlah Hatmal, CEO of Delta United adds to Florian’s comment: “We believe in this partnership as a tool to enhance our offers and to offset costs. The general idea is that two are better than one, and combining resouces will allow to add advantages for both of our companies through the alliance.

I am sure that this agreement will pave the way for knowledge transfer and enhance our contribution in the local content development market, which in turn is a major component in the SAUDI VISION 2030”.

migration-center has been one of the leading tools for complex content migrations for many years and is successfully used even in highly regulated industries. “In order to be able to serve such complex use cases, in-depth know how is required, which isn’t available at all times. For such a situation it makes sense to onboard a professional service provider like Delta United, who uses its expert knowledge to bring the project to a successful outcome,” concludes Florian and Ahmed agrees amicably.
