It is easy to think of migration activities as a one-time effort to initially load data into an application or move documents from one repository to another during an upgrade or technology change.  Experienced ECM customers have found that migration is an ongoing process that happens frequently.  Migration tools are needed when undergoing a significant platform upgrade (e.g. Documentum 5.x to 6.x), changing ECM vendors(e.g., FileNet to Alfresco) merging in a new business unit due to an acquisition, or performing ongoing bulk imports and exports.  Although migrations are performed regularly, no two migrations are the same.

The Problem - Typical Shortcomings of Migration Utilities

Because most document migrations have unique requirements, it is difficult to find one common technical approach or product to migrate data between various sources.  Typical “Out of the Box” approaches usually rely on a bulk load utility or an unwieldy proprietary tool.  Many customers have found these approaches to perform poorly. Typical migration challenges with these approaches include:

• Unique Business Rules
• Different Data Sources or Targets
• Data Tracking
• Performance
