➤ Microsoft SharePoint | Content migration with migration-center

Whether it’s about replacing content-centric business applications with Microsoft SharePoint, consolidating several systems after a merger, or migrating local SharePoint applications to SharePoint Online – migration processes remain challenging. Secure migration control and high-performance handling must always be ensured – even in case of large-volume data migrations. In addition, end users are confronted with the risk of system interruptions interfering daily business operations. To enrich data quality of source repositories, individual metadata transformation, standardization as well as cleansing capabilities are necessary.

Content migration to Microsoft SharePoint

To successfully master the challenges of a content migration, classic ETL tools or individual implementations can be used. ETL tools generally only cover parts of the defined requirements and are difficult to handle while individual implementations require a considerable amount of time and costs and can entail high risks. migration-center on the other hand offers a platform proven for many years, specifically designed to tackle complex migration projects out-of-the-box. The avoidance of downtime, an audit-compliant migration process, and sophisticated content analysis as well as metadata transformation capabilities are just a few of the many advantages.

“The decommissioning of OpenText Documentum to Microsoft SharePoint was an important milestone in our department. With the help of the fme Migration Services team in conjunction with migration-center, we were able to master this challenge without any restrictions despite the high demands on quality assurance and the tight time schedule.” Martin Polak – Generation & Storage IT Manager @ Uniper

A simple six-step process

Our migration process – proven over many years – consists of six simple steps. All steps can be performed independently and in parallel (fully scalable). Please note that all necessary steps take place in the migration-center database and any transformation or mapping errors can be detected and corrected before the actual import.

Step 1

Extract & analyze

All objects to be migrated to Microsoft SharePoint (Online) are exported from their corresponding source system(s) and analyzed in terms of type, format, metadata, and other properties.

Step 2

Organize

The exported and analyzed objects are now organized into manageable batches, so-called migration sets. Such a set is usually created from objects that are to be processed in the same or a similar way.

Step 3

Transform & map

Transformation rules are assigned to each defined migration set, which are used to generate the required properties for the target system, in this case Microsoft SharePoint (Online). The transformation is executed directly within the database of migration-center.

Step 4

Validate

The transformed metadata is tested and validated against the target system Microsoft SharePoint (Online) but without importing the objects.

Step 5 (Optional)

Correct

Potential errors are detected during the validation step and can be corrected in unlimited iterations of step 3 and 4.

Step 6

Import

The transformed and validated objects are gradually imported into Microsoft SharePoint (Online).

Microsoft SharePoint Online onboarding

If Microsoft SharePoint – whether Online or on-premise – is the choice to go, migration-center can quickly help to initially fill new SharePoint applications from old Sharepoint systems or any other sources like ECMs, file shares, or legacy databases. migration-center creates lists, folders, migrates documents, versions with metadata, and sets content types system attributes and security on an object basis successfully.

Shift & lift Microsoft SharePoint applications from on-premise to online

Easily migrate your applications to the cloud. migration-center enables you to migrate specific applications from local Microsoft SharePoint farms to SharePoint Online (Office365) or OneDrive. You can copy existing applications one by one or change the metadata definitions or security rules.

Replacement of classic ECM platforms

As one of the most common use cases migration-center can help you replace any existing application with Microsoft SharePoint Online. Simply collect all kinds of documents and metadata from the existing legacy applications and platforms and move them through the help of the cloud importer to Microsoft SharePoint. Tailor the metadata for SharePoint with easy-to-configure transformation rules and keep the source system up and running by using the delta mechanism in migration-center. The new bulk import interface from Microsoft is supported as well.

Data & document integration supporting mergers & acquisitions

After mergers & acquisitions companies often find themselves in a situation where a larger amount of data and documents must be integrated or migrated into the standard content management system. With over 200 different migration paths (source to target combinations) migration-center is a must-have to deal with such challenges and ensure legal and audit-compliant migration without system downtimes or interruption.
