Content Migration and Data Conversion

Whether contracts, customer data and/or construction plans, your company's proprietary information and data normally has to survive longer than short-lived IT systems. On average, companies renew their IT infrastructure every four to five years, while data retention policies often demand that data be retained for five years minimum.

Ad hoc content migration requirements

Organisational demands often mean that specific data has to be migrated on an ad hoc basis. These demands frequently require a fast turnaround for legal and cost saving purposes.

System software and hardware upgrades

When architecture, security and performance of the systems are reviewed the need to upgrade is often considered the best solution. In the these instances, the data residing on existing systems needs to be managed and migrated accordingly. Organisations should seek expert advice for how best to manage data in the following instances: 

  • Replacement or upgrading of legacy systems
  • Microsoft® Exchange® and SharePoint® Server upgrades
  • Replacement of backup and archiving systems
  • Introduction of a virtual infrastructure

IT consolidation

Projects involving the consolidation of systems often require the migration of large amounts of data and content from multiple platforms to a new centralised system, for instance:

  • Consolidation of storage systems in order to save physical space and reduce operating costs
  • Migration to newer backup and archiving systems
  • Archiving legacy data and disposing of end-of-life data

Company takeovers

Company merges and acquisitions may involve the bringing together of two differing IT system landscapes. The painless, uniform and seamless migration of data to maintain its integrity and availability is essential.

Compliance

Financial and customer related data are often subjected to strict retention policies and the permanent and secure access to this data is essential. Migration projects are especially needed when:

  • Important business information, or legally required data is stored on unreadable media formats
  • Essential business information needs to be transferred to a data archive
  • Legacy data requires archiving or end-of-life data disposing of
