Migrating WorkSite to SharePoint
Sydney consulting firm Galaxy9 is targeting the growing adoption of SharePoint by legal and professional services firms with a new tool that handles the migration from the Autonomy iManage WorkSite DMS.
After experiencing the challenges of transferring documents and email stored in WorkSite with associated metatada for a range of different clients, Galaxy9 has developed a packaged solution it calls OrbitMigrate.
Run as an application, OrbitMigrate can be configured to migrate documents and emails stored in Autonomy Worksite to a SharePoint 2007 or 2010 platform. It allows the fine-grained selection of single documents, folders, workspaces or an entire database to migrate.
It allows existing security assignments to be retained as well as document, folder and workspace naming conventions. Mapping of metadata can be maintained along with mapping of document numbers and versions.
OrbitMigrate also supports custom scripts for document processing. It also supports a number of other DMS platforms in addition to iManage WorkSite, including FileNet and Humminbird.
The tool allows for SharePoint Sites to either be created automatically prior to the migration of created and provisioned during the process.
Galaxy9 estimates the migration can accomplish migration of 10 documents per second, or nearly a million documents in a 24 hour period.
- Additional features of OrbitMigrate include:
- Pre-Flight check to accurately map metadata, security and volumes;
- Direct migration with no intermediary file storage requirement;
- Flexible deployment with Delta capabilities for phased migrations;
- Intelligent options to migrate document security;
- Support for all WorkSite versions and metadata types; and
- Support for MCC and non MCC environments.
