How do you make your content migration predictable and future-proof?

A solid migration engine and the right guidance can make all the difference.

Picture this: you’re retiring legacy repositories, but your QA files, contracts and technical documents are spread across old systems and personal drives. Some files are duplicated. Some incomplete. Some business critical. You know you need to act — but where do you start?

That’s where migration-center and delaware step in. We bring order, security and transparency to your migration journey.

Strategic implementation, guaranteed outcome
The true value of our partnership lies in the combination of migration-center technology and delaware’s strategic approach and implementation expertise. We’re not just running a tool, we focus on the business outcome you need.

For complex migrations, consolidations and compliance demands

We deliver successful migrations for use cases such as:

  • ECM modernization & cloud transition: moving from legacy to cloud (e.g., DocuWare, LiveLink, d3, Alfresco, Hyland, file shares, Microsoft 365, Azure).
  • M&A harmonization: integrating and standardizing content to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).
  • Decommissioning & archiving: securely archiving legacy data to retire applications in a controlled way.
  • Data enhancement for AI: improving metadata quality to make content AI-ready.

Precision, speed and security, without unnecessary risk

migration-center is a certified, out-of-the-box solution for the most complex content migrations. With 2,100+ successful projects worldwide, the approach is proven in practice.

The proven 6-step approach: control from start to finish

At delaware, we use migration-center’s best-practice approach and follow a structured 6-phase process. 
This gives you maximum control, transparency and traceability throughout the entire migration:

Extract & Analyze

We export all content objects from the source system and analyze them by type, format and metadata. Duplicates and inconsistencies become visible immediately.

Organize

We group objects into manageable migration sets based on shared characteristics. These can be processed in parallel for maximum performance.

Transform & Map

We apply transformation and mapping rules per set — from generating required properties to cleaning and reclassifying content using complex business rules.

Validate

We test and validate transformed metadata against the target system’s content model, without importing yet. Errors are caught early.

Correct

We flag and resolve potential issues in an iterative loop — ensuring a clean and accurate import.

Import

We securely import validated objects into the target system, with a focus on data integrity and auditability.

FAQ

Can we really save time and costs on a complex content migration?
Yes. The highly automated, code-free approach can reduce project duration by up to 80% and lower total costs by up to 60%, compared to custom scripts or alternative frameworks.

Can we migrate without disrupting the business?
 Yes. The delta migration concept scans live source systems step by step, avoiding downtime and safeguarding business continuity.

How do we ensure data quality and compliance during the migration?
 Through built-in validation, real-time simulation and advanced metadata transformation. That’s why the solution is often selected for highly regulated environments.

Can migration-center handle both legacy ECM and a new cloud platform?
 Yes. The platform is system-agnostic and supports 250+ connectors — from Documentum and file shares to SharePoint Online and Veeva Vault.

Can we consolidate multiple repositories into one platform?
 Absolutely. It’s ideal for harmonizing content and metadata from different sources, enabling a unified platform strategy and reducing TCO.
