Maximize Agility, Modernize your Business
To support their digital transformation, businesses are migrating from legacy ECM software to take advantage of the modern, cloud-native content services platforms and increase business agility and innovation.
While nobody relishes undertaking a migration project, they no longer need to be the risky, expensive and complex projects they once were.
Alfresco has proven expertise to help you migrate quickly with minimal risk and have customers that have successfully completed migration projects in under 6 weeks.
"We wanted a single standard platform for our ECM systems. We also knew that we had to migrate from the old environment to a new one quickly, and knew there would be some tough challenges along the way. It was a question of getting the platform and our partners right – and we ended up making the correct choice for both!”

Strategies for Legacy ECM Migration
Gone are the days of migrating all your content from on-premises to the cloud in one big, risky and disruptive move. Today’s migration options can make modernizing much more achievable:
- Bulk migration with delta: Most of the documents are moved over in bulk, but users continue to access the existing system. A final ‘sync’ is performed after all users are mapped over to the new cloud environment
- Migration in waves or phases: Phased migration focuses on specific departments or applications, then switch that area over to the new cloud application. This allows a phased-in approach
- On-demand: Migration occurs on content-by-content basis as it is requested. For example, much of the content remains on-premises while users are using the new cloud system
- On-demand: Migration occurs on an “as needed basis” driven by users' access. For example, much of the content remains in the legacy application, typically on-premises; but gets moved to Alfresco, possibly running in the cloud, when a user needs it.
