Understanding Our Process

Discover
Premigration assessment
Teams evaluate project complexities based on current file structures, file types, metadata and APIs. Teams analyze legacy systems, review client goals, client capabilities and file conversion requirements, taking into consideration file corruption and validation/testing requirements. A migration timeline is produced.

Design
Migration Design & Analysis
A high-level migration plan is built including migration server software and database deployment requirements, metadata extraction processes, development of transformation views and scripts, mapping metadata and testing. This plan is delivered with a formal SOW of design requirements and a recommended timeline for completion.

Configure
Repository Set-up and Configuration
Teams prepare for migration by identifying migration taxonomy and configuring the destination systems (SharePoint Online, M365, Azure or another repository) then planning and testing metadata extraction parameters.

Migrate
Data Migration to Destination Repository
Teams start by testing the process, then validating it with a sample data set before launching the primary data migration. After an initial pass, the team evaluates and reviews errors and failures, then re-launch the process.

Review and Validation
Once the migration is complete your team reviews and verifies the performance. A follow-up delta migration is then completed 1-2 weeks later to import any newly-added documents.

Closing
In this phase we reconcile the source and destination systems and build a reconciliation report for management to review.
