Content Manager Migration to Hyland Onbase

Data Strategies Interchange today reported on the successful completion of IBM Content Manager Migration to Hyland Onbase.

The customer, a major aerospace contractor, had been using IBM Content Manager for archiving scanned images related to its operations. The legacy system was hosted on an IBM iSeries server, using a combination of DASD and UDO optical platters for archive storage and the DB2 universal database for storing document metadata.

Data Strategies worked closely with Hyland to define the specification for the delivery of documents, document indexes, and document notes in a format suitable for ingestion into the Onbase platform.

At the customer’s location, the optical platters were copied to platter image files, using a DSI PlatterImage Genie workstation. DB2 database tables and the objects stored on DASD were copied to the Windows side. All further processing for IBM Content Manager Migration was done at DSI’s secure location in Houston TX, using Data Strategies’ proven proprietary off-line document migration. 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. DSI generated some 500,000 documents with associated metadata in the Onbase Document Import Processor (DIP) format.
