Discovery
An important factor that you will want to consider when migrating – especially for larger, more complex environments – is discovering exactly what it is that you have in your environment. Think of it as though you are moving to a new home. You might not necessarily want to keep everything you own and might find it an opportune time to get rid of things that are no longer needed. Of course, discovering what it is that you currently have in your house can be a major project in itself. There are plenty of questions you will want to ask about your content before you migrate. Do you migrate documents that have not been modified in ten years? Are they business critical? Will it be possible to collaborate with every stakeholder in a timely matter before migrating? Migration can present a great opportunity to “shake the cobwebs” from your old content in order to plan how you are going to build and scale your new environment. With DocAve 6 SP 3, we have enhanced our pre-scan capabilities. We have added Excel reports to help you discover granular content and security settings throughout your environment. Our pre-scan tools cover all of our supported migration sources, so this is part of our standard migration package. The improved reports also identify potential migration issues and will let you know why that content was flagged (unsupported file type, name too long, orphaned file, etc.).
Figure 1: DocAve Migrator in DocAve 6 SP 3 features enhanced pre-scan capabilities. More Sources We have also added EMC Documentum and Quickr as newly supported migration sources in DocAve 6 SP 3. Working with a large variety of different sources, we have built our tool to handle a plethora of use cases. To add to our SharePoint story, DocAve Migrator supports support direct migration to SharePoint 2013 without any type of staging environment to all of our current sources.
