The Complexities Of Migrating From OpenText eDOCS To SharePoint Online
- A thorough assessment of Strukton’s source content was required to point to errors, inconsistencies and relationships surrounding content.
- Folders in OpenText eDOCS were not representative due to large volumes of unfiled documents based on metadata associated with different Strukton departments.
- Content in OpenText eDOCS repositories required segregation and migration to consolidated content types and different site collections in SharePoint Online.
- A review of the existing information architecture was needed to determine necessary mapping and transformation rules based on metadata required for migration.
- Related documents stored in Strukton’s OpenText eDOCS platform with similar metadata required migration to the same target location/container within SharePoint
- An audit trail and metadata-based reports were required for the entire migration, to ensure all the items in scope of migration had been moved across correctly.
Pilot Migration
Proventeq carried out an end-to-end pilot migration to closely examine the existing content landscape and to highlight potential issues and complexities which would require attention prior to the production migration process.
