Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA)

Proventeq worked closely with their Belgium Partner, Sogeti, to provide the customer with a solution that would fit all the requirements and to ensure a smooth transition. Proventeq Migration Accelerator was the key technology solution used to migrate content into the new environment. Proventeq Discovery tool helped to analyse all available items in Exchange Public Folders and enabled the identification of any inconsistencies in content and permission. File urls with over 260 characters were identified and substitution rules were designed per department. During the process of standardising the content and metadata, selected items were configured to be converted into MSG format.

• Over a million content items were stored in Exchange 2003 Public Folders. A quarter of this content had to be filtered out prior to migration
• Majority of the items were documents and mail messages. These mail messages had to be converted from EML format into MSG format in order to be viewed directly from SharePoint
• Some Exchange items referred as scanned images in ScanPost had metadata stored in external Oracle database
• Users had followed naming convention that created very long file paths in Exchange, which were not supported in SharePoint
• Exchange allowed numerous characters in filename that were not supported in SharePoint
• Being supervisory financial body, the source data was constantly being modified on a daily basis. These data had to be synched.
• Each department had a phased transition plan, meaning that the migration plans had to reflect this requirement
