Impact Systems Develops Methodology to Dramatically Improve Enterprise Content Management System Migrations
Montchanin, DE (PRWEB) March 13, 2008 -- Impact Systems Inc., a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software tools, deployments and content migrations (http://www.impactinfosys.com/index.asp), today announces the release of a new white paper which makes the case for enterprise content migration analysis and structured methodology as organizations look to implement migrations.
More and more, organizations are faced with the need to migrate large amounts of data into a new enterprise content management environment. As these projects increase in complexity and enterprise content management systems increase in sophistication, the need for content migration planning and expertise is growing.
There are several business factors that drive the need for companies to migrate to a new enterprise content management system, including:
? Mergers and acquisitions
? The need to centralize content and consolidate data
? To achieve commonality in ECM platforms
? To achieve commonality in business procedures
? Systems reaching maximum capacity
? To reduce maintenance costs and technical system management
? Other regulatory, financial and organizational challenges
The importance for companies to fully understand the challenges involved in moving from where they are to where they want to be continues to escalate. Today's content migration projects are much more than copying a set of files from one place to another. Typical activities include the creation or replacement of metadata, verification and cleanup of existing metadata, management of document versions and relationships, audit histories, and e-signature data, mapping of content from one cabinet/folder/filing structure to a new structure, and the creation and implementation of business logic rules for handling data exceptions and transformations.
Impact Systems developed the A-C-E? Methodology for content migration to help companies fully understand their migration challenges, their desired outcomes, and how to best accomplish a successful migration.
