If your organization is contemplating moving to a different ECM environment, you would need a Migration Plan. As part of this plan, you need to determine the configuration and structure of your new system. ECM Migrations are more than simply installing the software and moving the content over. There are a myriad of considerations and different options that your organization must consider. It is critical that you realize ahead of time what decisions could lead to what outcomes. While most of the migration tasks can be carried out by internal and perhaps less experienced team members, planning is really the stage that makes or breaks the migration projects.
The ECM Migration program provides a complete roadmap of how the customer’s particular environment, applications, workflows, security, and documents should be migrated to their target environment. This comprehensive data collection, analysis, and roadmap creation ensures that the transition to the final ECM system is successful. As common sense as this sounds, many organizations have simply overlooked the need to have a plan that covers and outlines what should be done and how it could be done effectively. If you have already put together an “internal plan”, you simply need to have an ECM expert audit the plan and make recommendations. If you don’t have a plan, then you are at risk!
Migration plans will also outline the areas where specialized migration tools can help reduce project delivery time, lower costs and eliminate risks. We provide both planning services as well as proven migration tools. We work with clients to achieve the most efficient and cost effective means of migrating to the new ECM system. We also help support the clients during the intermediate migration phases to assure a timely and successful completion.
