City of Phoenix

The City of Phoenix wanted to migrate its website from Oracle UCM to SharePoint Online with the aim of modernizing its information management infrastructure. Proventeq Migration Accelerator was the key technology solution used to extract, transform, cleanse & migrate content into the new target SharePoint environment.

Proventeq’s rule-based scripting tool was used to cleanse anomalies in source content and transform consistently. Our migration consultants defined a strategy and agreed on a migration plan with the client. An ‘exceptional plan’ was devised to resolve any inconsistent source files.

The migration presented several significant challenges:

• Large amounts of data: Over 50,000 items were stored in the Oracle UCM content server. The content structure and site section configuration in the Source system had to be analyzed. This included documents, pages, forms and images.
• Items & structure mapping: We had to factor in items that had discrepancies while working on the structure mapping and loading pages to particular libraries within sub-sites so that the appropriate taxonomy could be assigned correctly.
• Redirect page links: We had to reassign page connecting to other pages to be redirected to new URLs created within the target SharePoint environment.
• Changing asset content types: We had to change Content Type set as “WebContent” in the source to a “Document” Content Type without affecting the content types of other web pages.
