IBM Content Manager Data Migration for Major Bank

Data Strategies Interchange is pleased to announce the successful completion of the document migration project. IBM Content Manager data migration performed for a major Bank, consisted in the migration of data from optical platters to a media format easy to import into OpenText Documentum.

The overall services included the extraction of over 4.5 million documents stored on IBM 3995 optical platters in IBM Content Manager 7.2 on OS/390 OAM. The total size of the compressed data was approximately 1 TB and was stored on 240 mostly 5.2 GB WORM platters.

The content was primarily in TIFF format (99%) with a small percentage of documents in PDF and XML/Text format (1%). For each extracted document an SHA-1 hash was created and delivered to the client together with the extracted documents for QA purpose.

The IBM Content Manager Data Migration, performed at the Customer’s site in Tennessee using Data Strategies’ staff, software and equipment and was completed in less than week. DSI can also provide migration services using Data Strategies’ proven off-line document migration process and platform. Offline migration is a process where DSI performs the migration optimized for best performance independent of end client’s hardware and without hindrance to their daily activities.
