The Complexities of Migrating from Rocket Folio/Nxt to Sharepoint
- Each page had links to other pages and images that had to be resolved and changed to the newly loaded location of the respective item.
- There was a special requirement to place a custom column for the way items were ordered in SharePoint.
- The content within each page had to be changed to comply with Accessibility standards (AA compliance).
- The content of pages had a set of ordered list patterns, where each pattern was different from one another. The client requested regularity in relation to the patterns so each one had to be aligned.
Solving The Australian Department Of Home Affairs’ Unique Challenges
Content discovery
Our Discovery tool helped to analyze all the items available in the source system. This helped us to design a suitable information architecture that ensured items were migrated over in full fidelity and in a seamless manner.
Rule-based mapping
Proventeq’s rules-based content type mapping and metadata mapping tool played a pivotal role in associating content types and page layouts, while adding custom column values using metadata values. An ‘exception plan’ was devised to resolve any inconsistent source files.
Configuration & analysis
Regex-based configurations were carefully devised by analyzing source styling and ordered lists for transforming legacy HTML to WCAG-compliant HTML.
Migration plan & strategy
Migration consultants defined a strategy and agreed on a migration plan with the Department. A 'Delta plan' was provisioned for any last-minute content changes while the migration was still in process.
