Client Overview

Capgemini are a leading strategic partner to companies around the world, they have leveraged technology to enable business transformation for almost 60 years. They address the entire breadth of business needs, from strategy and design to managing operations. To do this, Capgemini draw on deep industry expertise and a command of the fast-evolving fields of cloud, data artificial intelligence, connectivity, software, digital engineering, and platforms.

The Challenge

We worked alongside Capgemini to centralize content storage and enhance project collaboration, they were looking to migrate a large volume of content from Documentum to SharePoint Online and  ProjectWise but first they needed to discover, analyze, transform their data so it could be migrated. 

Folders and artefacts were excessively nested within the Documentum source platform making the content difficult to work with. 

A large volume of data had to be migrated

More than 70TB of emails and documents were archived in the Documentum repository.

Tight timeframe for a large migration

Migration needed to be conceived, planned and executed prior to the imminent decommissioning of Documentum.

Complex storage infrastructure

Documentum files were stored and managed in a hybrid infrastructure between on-premises and Azure.

Content restructuring

Migration work had to be split across multiple site collections and libraries to stay within the SharePoint Online technical design recommendations.

Deep folder hierarchy

Folders and artefacts were excessively nested within the Documentum source platform making the content difficult to work with.

Our Solution

Proventeq’s migration experts worked closely with Capgemini to design and implement a best-practice content migration solution to enable a smooth transition for their new SharePoint Online environment.

Discovery & analysis

Proventeq performed a full discovery and analysis of content with Content Analyzer to identify and understand the existing content landscape.

IA optimization

Classification and separation of data were efficiently processed to meet the demands of accessibility and navigation within the new SharePoint architecture for Capgemini.

Pilot migration

Migration Accelerator’s pilot migration feature allowed full mapping of all content and proved the revised content architecture worked according to business expectations prior to live migration; keeping their business operational on their existing ECM system before the go-live of SharePoint Online.

Full fidelity live migration

Once Capgemini’s team was satisfied with the migration design and target system architecture, Migration Accelerator was utilized to execute a full-fidelity migration with an item-level audit trail. This ensured that all items were successfully migrated.

The Results

The migration to SharePoint delivered significant benefits to Capgemini, transforming how they manage their business data:

  • Consolidation of content: By moving content from Documentum to SharePoint online, we were able to help reduce the time the client spent searching for, and working with, content.
  • Significant cost-saving: The client was able to make significant licensing and infrastructure costs savings by decommissioning the IBM FileNet archiving & eDiscovery platform. 
  • High throughput migration: High throughput migration with more than 1 million items migrated per day throughout the project. Multiple instances of Migration Accelerator were running in parallel to facilitate this outcome.
