Organizations fear migration. Faced with the extensive amount of resources and time required, organizations fear making the move into a secure Knowledge Management Solution. Without a clear data migration strategy, they are left paralyzed against the rapid data growth they face. Migration needs to be at the center of a digital strategy to maximize expensive Enterprise Content Management Solution (ECM) investments.

Organizations fear migration. Faced with the extensive amount of resources and time required, organizations fear making the move into a secure Knowledge Management Solution. Without a clear data migration strategy, they are left paralyzed against the rapid data growth they face. Migration needs to be at the center of a digital strategy to maximize expensive Enterprise Content Management Solution (ECM) investments.
The Historical Migration Challenges Organizations Faced:
It takes lots of time to migrate documents. Traditional migration can take weeks, months, even years to move data into an ECM.
Lengthy Engagements and lots of custom Professional Services work. Brute force migrations require lots of custom PS work and often take lengthy consulting engagements to develop strategies and move documents into ECM.
File share and other data sets are too big. The size of an organization’s data set can freeze a data migration. Often the data set is too large to migrate ALL the data into ECM and organizations just don’t have the resources to do it.
Why Migrate to ECM?
Enterprise Content Management is the most powerful and effective way to get documents managed and organizations have invested heavily in these robust systems. According to Cheryl McKinnon at Forrester1, the following are the top reasons to use ECM:
- Digitalization of business processes is the number one reason organizations are migrating to ECM. ECM allows organizations to drive powerful workflows and drive micro-processes to save your organization time and resources.
- 2. ECM allows for organizations to easily share content internally and with external stakeholders.
- 3. When documents are in ECM, it promotes improved search across enterprise documents.
