The 7 most outstanding capabilities
Managing large Data Volumes

The migration-center allows the easy organization and processing of large data volumes without interference with daily business operations.

  • Input data is analyzed and organized into meaningful and manageable data sets based
    on predetermined rules and selection criteria
  • Elimination of duplicates
  • No volume restrictions, high performance document handling, multiple sets can be processed at the same time in easy functional steps, mass operations run in the background

Migration activities are carried out on live data without effecting daily business operations through successive delta source data scans to pick up any document changes during the migration project.

Central Transformation Database

All information about the target model, sets, rules and objects are centrally maintained. Transformation operations can thus be defined and created, then simulated and tested real-time without moving any objects.

Database carries information on:
Documents, folders, target attribute model, source and target metadata, extraction / transformation rules, value lists, audit trail for each object

Successive Delta Migrations

Successive delta migration of source systems permits migration activities on live data without effecting daily business operations.
Users continue to work as usual on documents on their source systems, even while migration activities take place. The migration-center will automatically pick up any changes to source repositories and integrate them into the migration process.

Intelligent Metadata Transformation

An advanced, rule based metadata transformation capability, which is so powerful and flexible as to require no additional programming or scripting.

Object attributes (metadata) are transformed through the use of functions. For each attribute a virtually unlimited number of functions may be inserted. The output of one function can be used as input to another, allowing highly complex transformation rules.

Different function categories are available: String functions, Get value, Concatenate, Path functions, System functions, Regular expressions, IF functions, Formatting functions, Trim functions.

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.

Migration in Easy Steps

The migration steps defined below can be run independently and in parallel of each other, allowing several migration analysts to work at the same time. The first two steps below effect all data, the remainder always deal with a single given document set.

  • ANALYZE
  • ORGANIZE
  • TRANSFORM
  • VALIDATE
  • CORRECT
  • IMPORT

Step-by-step process...

 

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.

Validation against target model, automated or manual error handling, online/offline simulation and rollback, full logging and auditing capability

Open Connectivity Architecture

The migration-center's unique architecture, API framework and available adapters allow the connection of virtually any source or target system. This makes migration-center the most flexible software solution for mass import and intelligent classification of documents.
