Client Overview

A global leader with over 300,000 employees across more than 100 countries, our client is a premier Global Professional Services Firm. They empower businesses and individuals to reach their goals by leveraging human ingenuity, deep expertise and cutting edge technology, building trust and driving sustainable success.

As part of their cloud transformation, the client needed to modernize their ECM platform and migrate over 250 terabytes of data from Documentum to SharePoint Online and Azure File Storage. We successfully delivered this large-scale migration under tight deadlines by using Proventeq’s Migration Accelerator, which enabled high-speed transfers through parallel processing of multiple data instances.

Our team optimized the entire migration process through automation covering batching, provisioning, configuration and report generation. The Orchestrator module, part of our Migration Manager suite, streamlined the migration of Clients and Engagements by organizing them into activity-based batches.

Client Challenges

GPS Migration Challenges
Complex document system

Our client had a complex and large volume of documents spread across their legacy system. They required a more structured document system to allow the flow of information across their business.

Expensive legacy system

Most legacy infrastructures are expensive to maintain with increased security risks and rising storage costs. The company needed to migrate to Microsoft's cost-effective and efficient storage platforms including SharePoint and Azure cloud.

Limited collaboration
& user experience

With the complexity of their content structure, it was difficult for users to navigate and find relevant information which hindered collaboration and
user experience.

Enhanced security
measures required

Our client needed a more secure system with advanced access controls and modern compliance features to help protect their valuable information and maintain data integrity.

Discovery & analysis

We performed a comprehensive data discovery of their complex system using our Content Insights tool to determine which high-value data needed to be migrated. Inconsistencies and errors across the system were identified and removed before migration.

Archiving inactive content

Our Content Archiver tool facilitates the transition of inactive content to Microsoft Azure Files Storage, ensuring the company's SharePoint Online storage stays optimized, clutter-free and cost-efficient.

Restructuring & IA optimization

The project also required restructuring and classifying our client's content flow to fit within SharePoint’s information architecture and align with the collaborative needs of modern teams, allowing users to easily access and
share documents.

Remodeling security & audit trail

Remodeling of security was carried out to enable modern security features such as robust encryption and role-based access controls in SharePoint. An item audit trail was implemented to ensure successful data migration, data protection and accountability.

The Results

Reduction in costs for ECM ownership

By transitioning to a cost-effective cloud-based platform, our client has achieved $1 million in savings by eliminating additional maintenance costs and decommissioning its legacy ECM system.

Improved collaboration & user experience

With structured content across dedicated sites for teams and communication in SharePoint, users can to easily find and share content, enhancing the user experience and enabling modern business collaborative practices.

Enhanced security & compliance

SharePoint’s security features allow for granular control over document access permissions. With optimized storage, our client securely manages and archives content according to defined retention schedules, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

As part of the engagement, our team delivered ECM and migration consultancy to assess the client's Documentum structure and metadata. This analysis guided the optimal strategy for mapping and migrating content to SharePoint.
