Capgemini
Documentum ECM Modernization









Client Profile
Our client is a global leader in building critical human infrastructure in energy, water, digital connectivity, and government services. They have helped improve business operations and the lives of people in over 100 countries through consulting, engineering, construction, operations, and program management.
To centralize content storage and enhance team collaboration, the client was looking to migrate a large volume of content archived in their Documentum repository to SharePoint Online and ProjectWise. They chose Capgemini in partnership with Proventeq to work on this ECM modernization project.
Proventeq’s migration experts worked closely with Capgemini to design and implement a best-practice content migration solution to enable a smooth transition for their new SharePoint Online environment.

The Client's Unique Challenges
Complex storage infrastructure
Files were stored and managed in a hybrid infrastructure between on-premises Azure, folders, and artefacts, which were excessively nested within their Documentum source platform. This made documents difficult to access and share, affecting teams collaboration and search experience.
Cost of ECM ownership
Managing documents on a legacy system is expensive and the client needed to decommission from Documentum to reduce the cost related to data storage, maintenance, and support and utilize SharePoint's advanced capabilities.
Proventeq's Solution
Discovery, analysis,
& migration design
Our team performed a full discovery and analysis of their content followed by developing a customized migration plan and strategy to help meet the client's migration goals.
Content optimization
Data consolidation, classification, and restructuring were efficiently processed to meet the demands of a centralized data system, accessibility, and navigation within SharePoint and optimize content for easy access and collaboration.
Migration to a
cost-effective platform
Migration Accelerator was utilized to execute a full-fidelity migration to SharePoint a modern cloud-based and cost-effective platform with advanced features and capabilities.
Ensuring data security
& compliance
We provided a unique level of security throughout the migration. Through the integration of metadata for the source and destination files, our team was able to migrate content with the same security permissions.
The Results
Significant cost savings
Decommissioning the legacy Documentum platform to leverage the advanced features and capabilities of SharePoint Online would allow the client to make significant savings on the cost of licensing and infrastructure management.
Improved document access and collaboration
Microsoft 365’s features provide a much more centralized system, efficient search, and enhanced content collaboration experience compared to its legacy counterparts. This would help the client reduce the average time spent searching for documents and streamline their overall collaboration experience.
High throughput migration
High throughput migration with 1.8 million items (documents & emails) migrated per day throughout the project. Multiple instances of Migration Accelerator were running in parallel to facilitate this outcome.
