Migrate eDOCS to Office 365

Do you have an OpenText eDOCS (previously known as Hummingbird) environment that you would like to migrate to Office 365 (SharePoint Online, Teams) or another modern ECM platform? Or do you wish to use OpenText eDOCS as your main enterprise content management system and move content from other systems?

Your main migration challenge probably is to migrate content (folders, documents, versions and so on), metadata (e.g. title, description, date (created on), drop down list) and authorizations?

Migration challenges

Migrating content from your legacy system is complex and is a challenge on both organizational and technical level. Maybe you don’t have access to the backend database. Or your source content may contain redundant, out-of-date, trivial (ROT) data that you would like to identify first, so you can archive or maybe delete it. And what if your eDOCS environment holds records that are referenced from other systems?

There are several more challenges that will keep you and your co-workers from becoming excited about such a migration project.
