Satisfaction

Migrate data from one system to another, with 0 downtime.

It’s never a good to go offline (Documentum, Filenet, …) offline for a data migration. During this process an average business loses between €70.000 and €90.000 for every hour of IT system downtime. With our migration tool, called SyncServer, you are able to mitigate and even eliminate planned system downtime by migrating the data to a qualified archiving system without impacting daily business operations.

CAPABILITIES of SyncServer

Business Uninterrupted

SyncServer guarantees highly automated, large volume document migrations without interrupting any of your normal business operations. SyncServer automatically picks up any changes to source repositories (like Documentum, Filenet, etc.) and integrates them into the migration process.

Central Migration Database

All information concerning the source and target model, sets, rules and objects is centrally maintained. Transformation operations will thus be defined and created. The source system objects will be technologically “neutralized” and stored in the migration-center database.

Managing Large Data Volumes

SyncServer is a scalable solution that allows for the easy organization and processing of large data volumes. Input data is analyzed and organized into meaningful and manageable data sets based on predetermined rules and selection criteria. 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.

Open Connectivity

The open architecture allows the connection of virtually any source to any target system via the API. The tool syncs with Network drives, OpenText Documentum, Alfresco, OpenText Content Server, OpenText Content Suite, IBM Filenet, IBM Content Manager, Microsoft SharePoint and any CMIS compatible system. It is tightly integrated with these platforms and your system backup application so that it can control, coordinate and execute the backup of each component in the sequence required to ensure data consistency.

Disaster Recovery

SyncServer is able to help you even with a disaster scenario. Have your data stored on another system, completely in sync with your existing database and recover data from the back-up systems without no downtime and no data loss. Work as if there’s never been a disaster.

Migration USE CASES

Repository synchronization

It may be helpful for access and security reasons to take care of a mirror set of parts of the repository (example: sharing chosen documents along with your suppliers). These documents can be placed in certain folders and because the content of those folders changes, SyncServer can automatically pick up modified content and move it to the repository set.

Repository consolidation

Enterprise info is usually spread around various IT locations using totally different or maybe no DMS, some on out-of-date or even insecure platforms. With SyncServer these repositories may be simply consolidated into one, in order to maintain crucial documents with safety, consistency and regulatory compliance while reducing maintenance costs dramatically.

Filling new ECM applications

Existing documents generally reside on file share or alternative legacy systems. For users having to work with two or more document stores reduces workflow efficiency to the point that all benefits of the new system could also be for nothing. All relevant existing documents should therefore be moved into the new repository and classified in accordance with the chosen attribute and security model.

Archive migration

Archiving systems contain documents to be transferred into an ECM System. Reasons for this might be the replacement of an outdated archiving system by a more modern solution. Or certain documents are to be extracted and integrated with an already existing ECM system.

This usually requires the conversion of older information types (PDF, TIFF, COLD, IMG) into newer information types like PDF-A. Syncserver is designed for mass import and format conversions can be integrated as required.

Replacing legacy systems

Terabytes of legacy content in diverse out-of-date systems cost millions annually to maintain, finding anything is time consuming and not always successful. Moving this content into a single repository will save money and allow better control over enterprise data as well as the implementation of Compliance and Record Management policies.

Repository organization & clean-up

Business acquisitions, process changes or departmental reorganizations over the years have left the enterprise information base in a state where it no longer enables users to perform their daily tasks with efficiency. Documents ought to be reclassified in line with a better attribute model, old or duplicate documents removed, access rights redefined, compliance standards enforced. The result could bring great benefit to the whole organisation.

DMS software version upgrade

Version upgrades are pricey and not without risk to the integrity of the content. Upgrading versions can be tricky especially when upgrading over more than one version. Upgrade paths can consist of multiple updates and could put down your business for days. Therefore, while upgrading your DMS software system, use the SynceServer’s power at very little extra cost to maneuver documents safely while remapping metadata so as to better reflect current business needs.

Migration to the cloud

High speed internet connections are common in several parts of the planet, however transferring mass data from an existing ECM application to the cloud or to different datacenters through the internet and web services remains difficult. SyncServer simplifies data migrations to the cloud and helps clients to migrate giant volumes of content into their preferred Cloud system.
