DocAve Migrator for OpenText Content Server (LiveLink) Migration

Migrate. Quickly consolidate enterprise content from legacy systems or previous Microsoft SharePoint versions into Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and 2010.

DocAve LiveLink Migrator provides an efficient and cost-effective approach to seamlessly migrate from Open Text LiveLink to Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and 2010. Open Text LiveLink has long been leveraged as a knowledge collaboration, information retrieval, and business process automation platform. In recent years, however, organizations have recognized SharePoint's superior capabilities in these areas, and are looking to migrate their legacy LiveLink data into SharePoint.

Business Advantages for OpenText Content Server (LiveLink) Migration

  • Protect Your Investment in LiveLink Content with Lossless Migration into SharePoint 2013 & 2010

    DocAve LiveLink Migrator automatically moves content from source LiveLink elements to their mapped SharePoint lists, libraries, and folders. Information previously residing in LiveLink is maintained with full fidelity, assuring users that no data or metadata will be lost during the transfer. Structures, attachments, and properties are also all retained to ensure that each element looks and performs exactly as your business demands.

  • Simplified Migration Management Through an Intuitive Administration Console

    Job configuration and administration can easily be performed through a single easy-to-use DocAve Web-based interface. Schedule multiple jobs within the same migration plan as well as track and monitor job progress. This allows administrators to access the console interface from anywhere and have the ability to perform any migration task remotely.

  • Reduce Costs with Flexible Deployment and Scheduling

    Migrate an entire instance, folder, or just an individual content item. Reorganize or create new folders upon migration to reduce existing clutter. Granular or bulk migration jobs performed in real-time or scheduled allow administrators to plan migration jobs according to business needs and other organizational timetables, reducing the impact on functioning production environments.
