- Migrate up to three million content items from existing HCL Connections cloud collaboration platform into Microsoft Office 365
- Content types in Connections are not fully supported by Office 365, as such a transformation was key to ensure content could ‘fit’
- Connections would be decommissioned and the content had to be moved in less than 6 months
- All content had to be accountable and consistent once migrated to Office 365
The Solution
- Migration toolset used to perform the migration, following the Vamosa migration methodology
- Consulting Services provided to ensure the migration transformation approach was suitable
- Agile validation phase to incrementally build, refine and approve result prior to production phase
- Customer dedicated QA team worked closely with T-Systems during iterative testing cycles
- URL mapping provided as input into Customer URL Redirection Tool
The Benefits
- No interruption to normal business during migration phase, end users unaware of migration activity
- Traceability of migrated content through source, transformation and load, including URL mapping
- Iterative validation provided insight into migration result and opportunity to refine migration approach
- Content migrated securely and was accessible to users as per the source by applying access control across all Office sites and OneDrive accounts
