Hi Dustin,

We have recently done some data migrations from legacy ERM systems to modern
ERM systems.  We did encounter one or two lost records, but found these
records where non-critical and likely had never been filed properly in the
legacy RM system.  We use a utility to do the migration after an analysis of
the source and target systems.  The utility provides an audit trail of all
transactions during the migration which becomes a record itself.  If data is
missing it can identify a broken link and report this back for further
research, but there are only so many things you can do to if the source
system is corrupt.

Hi everyone,

 

I'm curious as to what your experiences have been transitioning from one
electronic document management system to another; both in the disaster
recovery and archival experiences.  Has anyone had any major problems
migrating from one platform to another - along the lines of data loss,
invalid directories, etc?  If so, how did your organization address
those problems (in brief)?

 

Thanks,

Dustin McLemore
