Airtel
IBM FileNet ECM Modernization
The Complexities of the Project
- Handling encrypted documents in FileNet.
- An audit trail of the entire migration was required.
- Identifying errors, inconsistencies, and relationships within the data.
- Analysis of the existing FileNet’s content, information architecture, and ECM Features.
- Investigation of the day-to-day operations involving IBM FileNet- most importantly addressing high-level business decisions surrounding FileNet’s content.
Solving Airtel’s Unique Challenges
Custom classification
We overcame the lack of classification in FileNet by creating custom classification rules to map existing content to the new Information Architecture in SharePoint. Any encrypted content was dealt with using a custom SharePoint Application that could decode migrated content.
Validating items
Some of the automation rules successfully handled items with invalid characters and URL, while other rules handled duplicate item names and long items names that were substituted using pre-defined customer inputs.
Metadata extraction
Additional metadata was extracted and generated from existing FileNet document class attributes. Metadata values were transformed to comply with SharePoint restrictions using automation.
Inbuilt features
Using inbuilt features and process in our Migration Accelerator, the migration was staged over two weeks- this was then followed by delta migration after couple of months in response to a department being available for migration.
