Accellerating the Digital Transformation
migration-center fast-tracks the digital transformation
initiatives inside your clients‘ organization through fast
and cost efficient proliferation of Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) which is an important foundation
enabling truly digital processes. For the handling of
semi-structured and unstructured content, there are ever
more occasions when large volume content migrations
become mandatory:
• Moving existing documents into new ECM applications
• Consolidating repositories across the enterprise
• Archiving and decommissioning legacy systems
The business goals of these migration projects can only
be fulfilled if documents are correctly tagged and classi-
fied in line with a well thought out attribute model. This
demands migration software with powerful metadata
mapping and transformation capabilities. At this point
superior technology becomes the decisive factor.
migration-center –
the leading product for
content migrations
Analyze Organize Transform Validate Correct Import
Outstanding Migration Technology
A careful look at current products on the market reveals
that most do no more than simply importing documents.
Any metadata transformation or document reclassifica-
tion is either absent or of such rudimentary nature, as
to severely limit the scope of your projects or leading to
additional programming at prohibitive costs.
Independent experts confirm that fme offers today the
most highly developed migration software available any-
where. An absolute power tool designed to handle any
migration challenge with ease, which has the power to
efficiently classify information objects through extensible
algorithms with no additional programming or scripting
effort needed.
migration-center guarantees highly automated, large
volume document migrations without interrupting
any of your normal business operations.
Benefit from the predefined migration approach
3. The Most Outstanding Capabilities
Managing large data volumes
Input data is analyzed and organized into contextually
consistent and manageable data sets. Duplicates are
identified and reported. No volume restrictions, high
performance document handling. Multiple and parallel
set processing, allowing different analysts to work in
parallel. Mass operations run in the background on
scalable components.
Central migration database
migration-center creates a full snapshot of all source
system information (metadata, folder structure,
relations, object types, access rights etc.). Transforma-
tion operations can thus be defined and created then
simulated and tested in real-time without moving any
objects to the target system.
Successive delta migrations
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 integrate
them into the migration process.
Predefined migration approach
The typical migration process consists of certain clearly
defined 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 hundreds of migration projects and
lowers the learning curve.
Adapters for other source or target repositories may be easily developed using the migration-center API.
Metadata transformation engine
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 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 by the target system, the
assignment of folder location, document links and access
permissions, relations etc.
Real-time simulation and test
For each individual set, the migration-center allows the
dynamic simulation and testing of all transformation
rules before committing content to repository import,
including validation against target model, automated or
manual error handling, online/offline simulation and roll-
back. Full logging and auditing capability are standard.
Open connectivity architecture
The migration-center grants out-of-the-box connections
to EMC Documentum, Alfresco, OpenText and Microsoft
SharePoint. The open architecture allows the connection
of virtually any source to any target system via the
migration-center framework & API.
