Migrating content from legacy systems and unstructured storage to Cirrus File Server (CFS) requires careful planning to ensure data integrity, security, and alignment with organizational goals. CFS’s Assessment services provide an essential first step in the migration process, offering a comprehensive discovery and analysis of content across various ECM platforms and storage solutions. Our Professional Services team specializes in assessing data within legacy systems like FileNet, OpenText Alchemy, SharePoint, and OnBase, as well as from Windows file shares and NAS devices. By identifying key content attributes, metadata, and access requirements, our assessment services create a foundation for successful migration, tailored to each client’s unique needs

Planning a content migration from legacy systems or unstructured storage to Cirrus File Server (CFS) requires a strategic approach to ensure data integrity, security, and alignment with organizational goals. CFS’s Migration Planning services provide a structured, detailed roadmap for migrating content from ECM platforms like FileNet, OpenText Alchemy, SharePoint, and OnBase, as well as unstructured storage solutions such as Windows file shares and NAS devices. Our Professional Services team works closely with clients to develop a comprehensive migration plan that addresses data mapping, risk mitigation, timelines, and resource allocation, ensuring a smooth transition to CFS with minimal disruption

The Content Migration phase marks a pivotal part of the transition to Cirrus File Server (CFS), involving the transfer of data from legacy systems into the new environment. Managed by CFS’s Professional Services team, this process encompasses migrating content from sources like Laserfiche, SharePoint, FileNet, OnBase, OpenText Alchemy, and various unstructured storage solutions, including Windows file shares and NAS devices. This phase also includes a structured validation process and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to verify that migrated content is accurately mapped, accessible, and fully functional for daily operations. Through detailed validation and UAT, CFS ensures that the final migration meets organizational standards, safeguarding data integrity, security, and alignment with business objectives

Once content has been successfully migrated to Cirrus File Server (CFS), the final step in the migration process is the secure decommissioning of legacy Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platforms and unstructured storage sources. CFS’s Legacy ECM Decommissioning services ensure that legacy systems, such as FileNet, OpenText Alchemy, SharePoint, OnBase, and unstructured sources like Windows file shares and NAS devices, are securely retired. Our Professional Services team works closely with clients to verify that all critical content has been fully transferred, validated, and is accessible within CFS. We then carry out a structured decommissioning process to eliminate unnecessary data duplication, reduce storage costs, and mitigate security risks associated with maintaining outdated systems
