Content Migration at a glance

Quick answer

TechTiera migrates enterprise content between ECM, cloud and collaboration platforms, including OpenText Documentum, OpenText Content Server, IBM FileNet, Alfresco, OnBase, SharePoint, Box and file shares. Using our DocOrbit migration product and a five-phase methodology, we preserve metadata, versions, renditions, permissions and audit history and reconcile every item.

Definition. Content migration is the controlled transfer of documents and their metadata, versions, security and relationships from a source repository to a target platform, with mapping, transformation, validation and cutover planning.

FAQs

Content Migration: frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers to the questions buyers ask most. Need more detail? Ask an expert

How do you ensure no content is lost during an ECM migration?

Every item is tracked from export to import, validated with checksums and reconciled against source counts and metadata. Exceptions are logged and resolved before sign-off.

Can metadata, versions and audit history be migrated?

Yes. DocOrbit migrates documents with their metadata, version history, renditions, permissions and, where the target supports it, audit trails, using mapping rules agreed during design.

Which platforms can you migrate from and to?

Sources and targets include OpenText Documentum, OpenText Content Server and Extended ECM, IBM FileNet, Alfresco, OnBase, SharePoint and Microsoft 365, Box, M-Files and file shares. Other connectors are available on request.

How long does a content migration take?

Duration depends on volume, complexity, data quality and cutover constraints. After an assessment we provide a wave plan with timings based on trial migration throughput.
