Web site migrationsIt's the bit about how your existing content gets there that nobody talks about.

Redeveloping your web site and moving to a new content management based solution needn't be a leap of faith. Whether you're looking to select and deploy a content management solution for the first time or you've out grown your existing solution Mimtech can help to ensure that the whole process runs smoothly.

Of course, if you're green fielding and every bit of content is going to be new then you don't have to worry about moving your legacy content. But for most organisations who have been online for a number of years there is simply too much intellectual value attached to existing content to simply start over. Trouble is very few vendors will talk to you openly about how much effort is required to move your content from your existing solution into their one other than a cursory "it's easy, nothing to worry about." The reality is somewhat different which is why they don't like to talk about it.

Livelink WCM PS and Obtree C4 web site migrationMigrations that deliver real savings in time & money

At Mimtech, we were faced with a particular problem when the content management software solution Obtree C4 was acquired by Open Text and the product was assigned maintenance only status. As most of our clients at that time used the Obtree C4 solution they were faced with the prospect of having to move their web based solutions to a new content management platform.

So we developed Mim:switch, the only automated solution that allows you to migrate all of the content from Obtree C4 or Livelink WCM PS to your new content management solution by connecting directly into the repository via Obtree/Livelink’s API.

From the database repository we can extract everything. All of the content objects are captured; every version that is held; every language or media instance; every attribute, metadata and custom property; every relationship with other content objects; all of the user data; even the site structure. Everything! And we can even enhance it before loading it into your new content management solution. Don’t be limited by what the browser can show.

With Mim:switch you get:

1. Data extraction directly from the repository via application API - we capture everything:

• all content objects
• every version is held
• every language or media instance
• every attribute, metadata and custom property
• every relationship with other content objects
• all of the user data
• even the site structure
• EVERYTHING!

2. Data manipulation and enhancement prior to load into target content management solution.
